Ray Lewis loves to talk. Not in a T.O. or a Chad Ochocinco sort of way. No, when Ray-Ray opens his mouth, it comes complete with a four-piece string section and seraphim fluttering about his head...
While Brett Favre tries to silence the hostile Lambeau Field crowd and the Broncos, Colts and Saints attempt to stay undefeated, the Cincinnati Bengals are taking the weekend off and basking in the glory of their 5-2 start...
Cedric Benson said that revenge was not on his mind. Sure, the Chicago Bears dropped him like honors math after three seasons last year, but the former first-round pick played it cool all week...
A team that believes in itself is a dangerous thing. In a league where every team is separated by only the slimmest of margins, a team that truly believes it can win can go a long way...
A win is a win is a win, no matter how lousy your team looks in the process. Cincinnati survived a comatose offense, a vulnerable defense, and long snapper Brad St. Louis’ sudden case of the yips to beat Cleveland 23-20 in overtime Sunday...
Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers was a giant step in the right direction, but if the Cincinnati Bengals want to make a true statement, they must beat Cleveland this weekend on the road...
Make no mistake about, Cincinnati had no business winning this one. But it wasn't the fact that the Bengals beat the Steelers Sunday, but how they won that could have long-term effects on the team’s season...
This time last year, Cedric Benson was a forgotten man. Another former first-round draft pick with a bust label, and little more value than last week's garbage...
There’s no such thing as a "must-win" game in September, but Sunday's game at Green Bay is of vital importance for the 2009 season prospects of the Cincinnati Bengals...
It’s been over 24 hours since the Cincinnati Bengals’ stunning last-second loss to the Denver Broncos and the focus has been placed squarely on the Bengals’ secondary...
Like the NCAA’s Final Four, it seems there is at least one surprise team that makes the NFL playoffs every year...
Despite being one season removed from going 16-0, the New England Patriots are seemingly a forgotten franchise. Never mind the fact that the Pats went 11-5 last year playing essentially the entire season with their backup quarterback...
Last season, the Arizona Cardinals stunned everybody by reaching the Super Bowl. It’s not that the Cardinals were a bad team...
Andre Smith doesn’t sign until the preseason is practically over, then promptly breaks his foot. Carson Palmer misses most of last season with an elbow injury, then misses most of this preseason with an ankle injury...
It's never a good idea to get too worked up over pre-season games. At least half of the players will never see action in a real honest-to-goodness game, the regulars are exhausted from training camp, and the play-calling is usually fairly vanilla...
With less than five days before the Cincinnati Bengals’ preseason opener, first-round pick Andre Smith is still unsigned and all indications are that it could be a while before the former Alabama Crimson Tide comes to terms...
Reggie Kelly is one of those players that flies under the radar. He doesn't propose to cheerleaders after scoring a touchdown. He doesn't demand trades in the media...
This season is a crucial one for everybody involved with the Cincinnati Bengals. Coach Marvin Lewis has overseen two straight losing season and can not afford a third...
Chris Henry is a lot of things to a lot of people. To some, he's a thug. To others, he's a national punchline. But to the Cincinnati Bengals, he could be one of the big differences between making the playoffs or staying home...
With the OTAs and minicamps finally out of the way, it's only a matter of weeks before teams report for training camp...
Like his Cincinnati Bengals teammates, Chad Ochocinco is hard at work these days in preparation for the 2009 season. He's working on drills to improve his footwork and his hand-eye coordination, ...
By David Campbell Marvin Lewis made his name with defense. Now, for the first time in seven years with the Cincinnati Bengals, Lewis finally has a defense worthy of his reputation...
By David Campbell Sure, his show on the Travel Channel was an underground hit, but most Bengals fans know little about middle linebacker Dhani Jones. A selection of questions if I was ever to get to interview him for a feature...
By David Campbell Like most 13 years old, I was into sports, but not "into" sports, if you know what I mean. I played baseball, soccer and football, I collected baseball cards and I had about 645 pennants that were plastered all over my walls...
By David Campbell With all of the moves the Cincinnati Bengals made in the off-season, it's not hard to see why many of the team's fans are giddy with anticipation for the upcoming season...
