ESPN Needs To Shut Up About Our Bengals !

Me too, infact, howit pains me to say it, the announce team i thought was pretty easy on the Bengals-the lack of targeting AJ Green -we should have been on the cross with rusty nails! The ignoring of the explosive Andrew Hawkins also was a huge mistake. Twice Hawkins was open in the second half, and Dalton forced the ball somewhere else. Truly WTF here....

But there are a few on the "Mother Ship" that need a heaping helping of STFU!

Well you should be happy now. Because I doubt the word Bengals will be muttered again for another 4 months.

I wouldn't be that quick to pull out the race card on that. That's become such a knee jerk reaction in society today.

Bump. I knew exactly what he meant. If poor English was his concern he should've addressed it as such. "Ethnic garbage" is taking race into when it has no relevance to the content.

I agree. "Ethnic garbage" is reffering to the fact that Cris Carter is a black man. As if white people don't use slang. Also, ethinicity is something that all people have, not just black people. Read something, OP.

Totally agree man.

What's odd is I call a guy in the game day thread a derogatory word for homosexual and mods flag me, give me disciplinary warning. This guy starts a thread that reads as racist no warning.... Can offend homosexuals but not colored folk. On top of that BR(Bengal Rugby) nothing against him runs around saying this black Jesus mess which appears to me as offensive from a religious and race perspective. Maybe I'm being to hard on the mods or no one reports this stuff? Or is this the case using the forums to vent excuse.....

Fail. Way to say something about racism then use a slur (histortical context wise)

I like flying under the radar, it suprises the bullys when they get punched in the mouth. Let us win "A" playoff game and then we will be talking about credit.....ESPN hammers and praises the Steelers because they are used to seeing them in the playoffs......after playoff WINS and into the Superbowl.....with WINS in the Superbowl!!! The Steelers tend to step up to the plate and swing away while we tend to get caught looking. I watched the SF/GB game on Saturday night and Colin Kaepernick REALLY impressed me with that win..... this rookie shredded the defense and showed me what we are missing out on. I hate SF but they picked up a stud with that guy.

Trade a 2nd round for Mallet & give them Gresham.

You do realize our Oline allowed the 6th most sacks in the NFL, right? Mallet is a complete statue, not that this is the only indication (all you need to do is watch his games at Arkansas) but the man ran a 5.35 40 lol. I personally think we are a kick-a-kyle-cook to the curb from being a much better pass protecting oline, but still I'd rather ride with Dalton until a much better option is available, not a strong armed statue. Thats setting Mallet up for failure.

You must of missed the word offend.

I think they meant the term 'colored folk'. But anyways, it is too bad that this point is the case. As for any identity, be it sexuality, orientation, ethnicity, age, what have you, to me it comes down to the golden rule. Some call it being too far PC (and to a degree the argument stands with me), but I tend to lean on calling it good manners. While the signature does not offend me, if it offends you, you should talk to them about it, hopefully you two can come to an agreement.

I still find it odd the mods pick and choose what's offensive. I apologized to the haterous fan from TN for calling him a fa**ot and I still got a warning. But there are guys who suggest racial things and say racial things and nothing.

Back to the original topic:

Any publicity is good publicity.

I remember I used to get ****** about this.......... which is another reason I switched to the NFL Network for FB coverage. NFL Net can be bad and do the same type of things but not as bad as ESPN. At least the NFL Net acknowledges the Bengals exisit before the playoffs.

Since every program says basically the same thing, (if it walks like a duck) maybe there is some truth to it, such as some of the players you guys pass off as gods, they think they are duds, maybe some on this board needs to open their eyes, and look at the progress we haven't made.
