OCHO CINCO DEACTIVATED FOR STEELERS GAME — Bengals wideout Chad Johnson-Cinco has been suspended by the organization for an unspecified violation of team rules, although a Bengals blogger says it’s because Ocho overslept and missed a team meeting (link via PFT). A team meeting at 8:30 p.m.
BRADY QUINN HAS A BOO-BOO — Brady Quinn, fresh off his first career win as the Browns’ starting QB, has a broken index finger on his throwing hand. Experts such as myself suggest that may affect his throwing, and also his pointing on the dance floor.

So football players are lazy, wimpy, and die young.
Hmmm, may be we’re not so different afterall.
Now how will Brady fing?
Apparently Marvin Lewis had just watched Remember the Titans. Unfortunately there are no Civil War battle fields near the greater Cincy area.
Brady Quinn’s Lineman life expectancy is, of course, considerably shorter.
How did Brady hurt the finger? Did someone kick Jeff Garcia in the nuts?
“Bengals blogger” has to be on the short list for worst job/hobby ever.
