Colin Cowherd of ESPNRadio took great joy in reminding Bengaldom how bad their franchise has been for two decades. Power rankings pushed the Bengals near the bottom of the pile, barely squeaking the Cincinnati's finest above the Lions, who haven't won a game... gstep77507@aol.com (Greg Stephens) Cincinnati Bengals 2009-09-22T10:27:05-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bengals/13145 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bengals/13145 Just this week, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh predicted the winless Bengals would chalk up two victories before the year was over. Thanks to the team's sudden ability to run and stop the run, the Bengals got halfway there in Week 9 with a 21-19 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars - a team that is used to running the ball well, and stopping the run.

That streak was broken Sunday, when running back Cedric Benson -- who wasn't informed he would start against the Pittsburgh Steelers until right before the game -- rushed 14 times for 52 yards. While the numbers don't look impressive, especially in a 38-10 loss, they show... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Cincinnati Bengals 2008-10-20T10:52:13-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bengals/12972 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bengals/12972 According to loquacious Bengals wide receiver Chad Ocho Cinco, it's not the slew of injuries or sagging offense that has led to the worst start of his career. He thinks it's punishment for demanding a trade during the offseason. Ocho Cinco told reporters Wednesday that his rants and raves in the offseason made it unlikely that he would come back and expect to be used in the same way he had... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Cincinnati Bengals 2008-10-16T10:07:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bengals/12937 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bengals/12937 As the Bengals gathered in their locker room before leaving New York with another loss in hand Sunday, quarterback Carson Palmer told reporters he was staying in town to visit with Dr. David Altchek - a New York-based orthopedic surgeon in the Sports Medicine and Shoulder Service at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He is also one of the doctors on the staff of the New York Mets.

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis confirmed Saturday that Palmer will miss his second start in the team's last three games when the Bengals (0-5) take on the Jets (3-2).

They knew they wanted to re-sign him after the game, but they didn't want to do that for the sake of a suspension. The Bengals resigned Watson on Tuesday after the league announced fourth-year linebacker Darryl Blackstock is suspended for four games... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Cincinnati Bengals 2008-10-08T11:34:11-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bengals/12850 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bengals/12850 Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is adamant about starting Sunday at Dallas. According to Shannon Russell's blog from the Cincinnati Enquirer, Palmer didn't practice much Thursday, but he says his inflamed right elbow feels better; he expects to play Sunday. For the sake of the morale of the team, he almost has to. Whether Bengals coach Marvin Lewis agrees with that is another story.

After two arrests, one for driving under the influence and another for boating while intoxicated (charges were dropped recently), Chicago released Benson in the summer.

Judging by quarterback Carson Palmer's elbow injury, it may get even worse. Mark Curnette of the Cincinnati Enquirer quoted Palmer as saying "hopefully I'll play next week (at Dallas)."

Curnette quotes Palmer: "What somebody says on the outside - who has no idea what's going on here - all he sees is 0-2, it's kind of an easy thing to throw out there.

Both the team and the NFL have recognized the player formerly known as Chad Johnson has a new name; as a result, his entry on the Bengals' official roster and the nameplate on the back of his jersey will say Ocho Cinco.

He may have struck gold with his rumored newest idea. Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith wrote Tuesday that Johnson may be considering legally changing his name to "Chad Ocho Cinco."
