Marvin Lewis and Mike Brown Need To Be Reported to the Jerk Line

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:35:36 +1900

Bungled Call the Jerk Line on Lewis and Brown By Paul Bessire Aug. 19, 2008 Someone should call the Cincinnati Bengals' Jerk Line on Marvin Lewis and Mike Brown. There is a theory that believes that, in every small organization, there are one or two guys who just "get it." For the Cincinnati Bengals, the head coach and owner are definitely not those guys.

That's right ladies and gentlemen, he's back! The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed troubled wide receiver Chris Henry on Tuesday. And not a "just for now" contract either, but reportedly a two-year deal. It was only this past April that Henry was cut by the team following Henry's fifth arrest since being drafted in 2005.

But those efforts end today, as we move on with what is best for our team." Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis had this to say at the team's annual preseason luncheon on July 22 when asked about the possibility of the team re-signing Henry: "I'm not interested, I don't think it would be productive for our ...
