At least Chad’s jersey is good for SOMETHING!
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
It’s NEVER TOO LATE to share a great story.
Especially when it involves Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson, the notorious “Ocho Cinco.”
Congratulations to the “First Couple” of Cincinnati radio — WGRR’s Chris O’Brien & Janeen Coyle, the “Married With Microphones” morning duo — for their brilliant brainstorm.
In conjunction with Koch’s Sporting Goods, WGRR-FM (103.5) conducted the “85 Trade Off” for charity.
Look at it this way: At least Chad’s jersey is good for SOMETHING!

Has Mel Kiper Jr’s motor mouth stopped running?
GREAT HAIR OFFSETS TEDIOUS BLATHER
===LUDWIG AT LARGE would like loyal readers to answer this question: How do you really feel about Mel Kiper Jr.? I find him knowledgeable and entertaining, but the dude absolutely wears me out with his motor mouth. After two days and 20 hours of his DraftSpeak, my brain has turned to strawberry jelly. I’ve had enough … until 2009.===
Bengals Draft Rated C+ By Mel Kiper Jr.
ESPN’s draft guru, Mel Kiper Jr. is out with his annual post-draft scorecard.
Here’s his rundown of the Bengals draft:
Cincinnati Bengals: GRADE: C+
Keith Rivers is solid player with great character. Jerome Simpson is a hard-working receiver and WR Andre Caldwell could be a second or third option right away. While junior DT Pat Sims was a very underrated player out of Auburn, OT Anthony Collins should have stayed at Kansas for another year. Still, he was a decent fourth-round pick. Safety Corey Lynch is a playmaker (he blocked the field-goal attempt in the closing seconds of Appalachian State’s upset win at Michigan last season). Some scouts I spoke with thought Lynch — who went in Round 6 — could go as high as the fourth round. Villanova TE Matt Sherry is not a very good blocker, but he has very good hands and could push for a roster spot. Wide receiver Mario Urrutia didn’t have a great 2007 season and I’m not sure why he came out. Urrutia has talent, but should have gone back to Louisville for his senior season. Angelo Craig flashed pass-rushing abilities at times; at other times, he disappeared.
