T.O. Chooses The Bengals

Cincinnati, you're welcome.

What am I talking about?? Well yesterday I wrote a column urging T.O. to join the Bengals over the Jets, then later that day we're hearing about T.O. picking the Bengals over the Jets (presumably right after reading my column). And no, I don't care if the Jets never made a formal offer and the Bengals were the only team with a deal on the table, I'm taking the credit any damn way. So yeah, Cincinnati you're welcome.

Anyway, as if I couldn't wait enough for the August 8th Hall Of Fame Game (the first preseason game of the season) between my Dallas Cowboys and the aforementioned Cincinnati Bengals, this happens. Romo, Miles, and Dez going up against the likes of T.O., Carson, and Ocho! It promises to be the most exciting 2 or 3 series of the first week of the preseason! Yes, yes, and more yes!

Now as many people have pointed out, the Bengals now employ a sizable amount of Cowboys castoffs in Tank Johnson, Roy L. Williams, Pacman Jones, and now T.O., so I'm thinking they're in need of a name change. I juggled through a few and decided "Cincinnati Cowboys" would be most appropriate (besides, "Cincinnati Castaways" and "Porkopolis Pariahs" just seemed mean). Any others??

(Side note: How many are those jokes about Jerry Jones gonna be in that locker room?? Man, it's gonna be brutal in there lol.)

The last piece of business that needs to be settled is who's gonna wear #81. As of right now, Antonio Bryant (aka the guy Cincy originally picked over T.O.) has the #81 jersey, but as we all know, T.O. has worn 81 since forever. As Skip Bayless pointed out, Bryant is the highest paid Bengals WR and that's not to mention he might see T.O. as a threat to his playing time, so maybe it won't be so easy getting him to give up the number?? We shall see.

Either way, drunk white women for everyone!
