Why the Cincinnati Bengals are watching the NFL playoffs instead of playing

It just struck me (it's 1:58 p.m. ET Saturday, January 6, 2007, with kickoff for the Chiefs v Colts game only 152 minutes away — but who's watching the clock?).

The benighted Bengals have not one, not two but three — count 'em, three (Chad Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chris Henry) — head case wide receivers.

No possible way to win with three.

One, perhaps, maybe two — if the rest of the team is really good — but three guys complaining, whining about not getting the ball enough and all that goes with being a prima donna wide receiver in the NFL will never fly.

Being one of the good hands people is not enough — gotta consider the good mouth posse.

Marvin Harrison, call your office: your victims are out there in the Kansas City secondary, quaking in their high-top shoes.
