I see this has been a Bengal bashing blog, however, I still see the idiots that watch this game not appreciate how important the kicking game is.

The Bucs did a really good mive by picking up a punter/kicker. We needed that BAD! You may appreciate it more when we keep pinning them inside the 20 or even the 10.

I mean, fans who quit on their team.

I think fans who quit are their team are disloyal, but is there an exception for Bengal fans? I’m pretty discouraged.

Hasn’t he media been talking about teams having to get busy all week to get to the cap minimum?

Oh wait, ESPN is full if delta bravo’s so why would I expect them to translate anything close to accurate…

Its no wonder that teams like the Bucs have been basically silent in the frenzied FA spending this week. And, Mike Brown is in heaven, cheap A-hole.

As evil as this may sound, I’m sure there are Bengal fans out there who would like to conveniently take out Mike Brown, if you know what I mean.
Unfortunately what Mike Brown decides to do with his business is.. you know his own business.

I told a friend recently this is the year I think you start to see fans openly look forward to Mike’s death.

I would assume this is tied to a new TV Contract, probably 2013…. with enough new dough to make every owner blush…

well you know that 9 billion they were fighting about? that is projected to double by 2016.

So, that’s why the BUCCANEERS big free agent is a PUNTER!

This should make the KC Cheaps happy.

Grossly overspending on free agents/players doesn’t necessarily translate to wins or fielding a good team. Ask Jerry Jones if he wishes he could have some of the money back he spent on his team last year. I applaud teams that are saavy with their payroll, and still manage to put a good product on the field.

This is actually one of the first bits of good news Harbaugh has gotten. I was hoping that we would be able to win our crappy division this year but I’m okay with giving Harbaugh a year to get to know his players and who’s gonna work in his system. He hasn’t had any time with his players yet and it would be difficult to see where he needs to fill holes in his system without first trying it out with current players. Makes sense to me.

Mr. Forio,

You left out the dead cap space of cut players.

Are you suggesting that in the future players such as Haynesworth are unlikely to be cut because dead cap space is not “cash” ?

But the Panthers are cheap, why did they spend 2 years early?

This explains what was previously unexplainable. That is, how in the world did Mike Brown vote yes? Now we know.

Guess that explains a lot of the 2 year deals. In 2 years we will have another free agency tornado. So basically the dolphins rented Reggie bush for 2 years. O well

Being a Bengals fan must be like ground hog’s day. Six am strikes, and I got you babe blairs over the radio and you wake up. Mike Brown finishes taking the last of your cash out of your wallet and runs out the room laughing. You pick up the news paper to see the upper management and coaching staff remain in place. Your first round draft pick is holding out, every decent player you have is running out of town like their butt was on fire, and your 31 year old franchise QB would rather retire than spend one more minute in the NFL hell that is Cinncy. You put the paper down and place a grocery bag over your head. Then you head for for the bathtub and hop in. Then you toss the toaster in the water. Wait for I got you babe at six, then repeat…………. My condolences, see you all in 2013.

And now us bengals fans know why Jonathon Joseph wasn’t resigned. Mike the penny pincher brown is saving all he can now to prepare for actually having to put money into the team god forbid

i figured something the way the 49ers are spending money, saving now because they’ll actually have to pay later.

Didn’t KC make the playoffs last year with their low payroll? Didn’t the Bucs just miss the postseason with their low payroll?

Who cares what a team spends if they’re getting results?
