Another Strange NFL Weekend

Another week of NFL football is in the books and there are plenty of stories to talk about that I won't even bother to touch on the biggest one Bill Belichick's fourth quarter call. We will start off with the Cincinnati Bengals who went into Pittsburgh and took care of the Steelers 18-12. The win put the Bengals one game ahead of the Steelers in the AFC North. The Bengals then fortified their running back corps by signing former Kansas City Chief Larry Johnson. I don't blame the Bengals for signing him, but I do hate to see a guy get rewarded for acting like a complete ass and leaving the Chiefs with no real option other than to cut him. Instead of playing out the string for the woeful Chiefs, Johnson is now in the middle of a playoff race. Is it wrong of me to hope that he blows out a knee on his first play with the Bengals. Speaking of the Chiefs today it was announced that wide receiver Dwayne Bowe will be suspended four games for using performance enhancing drugs. Of course since this is the NFL and not Major League Baseball this will be a story for a day and will quickly be swept under the rug. Only baseball gets screwed by the media for drug violations. Finally we check the crazy old person file and find Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams. While his team was playing the Bills in Buffalo the 86 year old owner starting flipping the bird several times to Bills fans. One would think at 86 years old that the guy would have grown out of such childish behavior, but maybe like his fellow owner Al Davis he has gone over the edge with no hope of coming back. Adams was fined by commissioner Roger Goodell $250,000 for his antics. Some will say the old dude was just having fun. I say the old dude needs to realize that there are kids around and maybe its time he acted his age and set an example.

Song of the Blog: Today's random song of the blog is Cumbersome by Seven Mary Three. A good rocking song from the 90's grunge scene. The band had a few other hits but this is the only one that struck a chord with me.
