Here We Go Again

Wow, two blogs in one day. Lucky you.

I hadn't planned on blogging about this, but it's really become a sore subject with me. Yesterday, I was so happy that the Bengals beat the Steelers. I was all prepped and ready to rub it in a little bit to my Pittsburgh friends. And then when I got up this morning, I heard the news that is getting all too familiar. Another Bengal has been arrested. This time it was Odell Thurman. He was arrested on a DUI charge last night in Cincinnati. He's already serving a suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Can I ask a question? Do character and integrity matter, or do we just care about a winning football team? I don't expect the players to be perfect. They're human and they make mistakes. I've definitely made more than my fair share. But there comes a point when we have to demand a higher standard.

Who Dey think gonna beat them Bengals? In the areas that really matter, the Bengals are beating themselves.
