You Know the Bengals are bad when...
http://espn.go.com/nfl/columns/pasqu...n/1555382.html
"The contract that Palmer signed with Cincinnati three days before the draft, a six-year deal that could be worth as much as $49 million according to NFL Players Association calculations, includes a loyalty clause Bengals officials have been negotiating into deals for the last few years.
Under terms of the loyalty clause, Palmer could conceivably forfeit his entire signing bonus if he makes remarks critical of the Bengals during his first season with the team. The penalty is prorated, annually reduced by one-sixth of the total signing bonus, for the subsequent seasons."
They're so bad they have to put into their players contracts that they can't say anything bad about the team. LOLSelling all my cards here updated as of May------------> Hidden Content

hahahahaha, well there goes "..aww, man, my team sucked today; I got sacked 6 times, receivers dropped 7 balls, and my RB fumbled 3 times....."
So, I suppose Palmer can only say "...we look to improve our play week to week..."
lololol

Palmer better keep his mouth shut because I don't see the team getting that much better next year. But how bad has it gotten for them now that they have to censor their own players on critcizing them.

hee hee hee....exactly. To have to put a CLAUSE that prevents a player from speaking his mind is pretty stringent.
It's one thing to put clauses in for:
no felonies (rape, robbery with gun, etc)
dangerous activities in off-season (motor-bike off road racing, bungee jumping)
etc
But when you put in a clause to censor a guy, wow!!
I do see the Bengals getting better..but that's only on the premise that they cannot get worse. Of course, if they didn't win a single game, that would technically be getting worse,
lololol

That's because the rumors that come out of Cincinatti are true... if they fixed their problems, they wouldn't have to worry about players badmouthing the organization!

LOL it's a sad day when your multi million dollar contract balances on whether or not you will be so dissapointed in your team that you will make a bad comment about your own team...And to the Bengals I say don't worry about what he might say because everyone already knows.....

Agreed Iggy.
Its the worst team in sports and they need to concentrate on fixing the team rather than penalizing its players for being critical of them.
