All the off field troubles for the Bengals just keep pilling up, and Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis just keeps doing what he does. He continually starves the media for that nugget that they want. He never flinches from his message. It is all about Football, all the time.
Star linebacker Odell Therman is apperantly suspended for the first 4 games of the season, and in rehab for a Meth problem, that he has also had before he became a pro. Marvin played that one to a tee.
If you have never heard a Marvin Lewis interview before, this one is what it is like all the time. He will always duck the big question with a "it's just football" kind of response, and I think he really thinks that way. I also think Marvin Lewis is smart as hell, and he can play the media like drum.
Training camp starts this Saturday, and I am about jumping out of my skin at the fact that football season is upon us. There is no better time of the year than the cooling in the air, and the start of Football season!!
Sure doesn't make for compelling reading...and it doesn't have to! Marvin is a terrific coach...not a media personality!
ReplyDeleteI think playing it close to the vest is a good thing. Plus it fucks off the jackals in the sporting press!
Off topic, but good news for our district's politics:

The Bengals sign Left tackle, Levi Jones, to a long term deal yesterday. This is huge news because Levi is responsible for protecting Carson Palmers blind side. Carson coming back from major knee surgery cannot get toughed this year.

ReplyDeleteit is official, but you got to love the way Marvin handles himself here.
