DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk The Smack Shack Bengal arrested. (yawn)

Oh BTW,for all of our "arrests" the Bengals are 10th in ESPN power rankings.
Where are the Cleveland Altarboys ranked at?

LMAO! Responding to yourself in a "Bengal Arrested" thread with irrelevant babble, I see.

Why is another Bengal arrest even news? lol.

You know why I included that..because your fellow "Dawgs" felt insulted on the pure football forum when they were ranked #32 on a power ranking list 2 weeks ago.
If the Browns were ranked 15th or higher,there would be so much glee and optimism probally going on 5 pages by now of replies.
Keep on rehashing the Bengals and the prison jokes,its all you guys got as far as smack goes....
cause as far as on the field goes,it isn't happening...its your team thats getting smacked around,even by the team with the "inmates"....as you guys put it.
As far as unique goes,can't you think of something other than Bengals and prison jokes?

Well give the Bengals credit, they knew enough to put stripes on their uniforms, probably to aide in transition to the next level, prison league.

About as much mileage as you guys try to get out of Championships you got when the half of the NFL didn't exist......

Touche'

Great what else is new with the Bengals?!

Now the woman is retracting her story..

Woman now says she hit herself with cell phone

The woman who claimed Bengals linebacker A.J. Nicholson assaulted her told reporters at his arraignment Monday that Nicholson never hit her.

"I'm embarrassed to tell you that I was extremely emotional when I contacted police and that caused me to exaggerate what had taken place between A.J. and myself," Victoria Johnson said, according to WLWT-TV in Cincinnati.

Johnson said she was trying to grab a cell phone away from Nicholson and accidently struck herself below her eye.

Nicholson was arrested on a domestic violence charge Friday, the first arrest of a Cincinnati Bengals' player since commissioner Roger Goodell cracked down on misconduct last month.

He pleaded not guilty during a court appearance on Monday.

Nicholson already was one of nine Bengals players arrested during a nine-month span, turning the team into a prime example of player misconduct. The team had gone four months without having a player arrested.

Police in nearby Taylor Mill, Ky., arrested Nicholson after a Johnson called 911 on Friday afternoon to say she had been assaulted by the second-year player. He was charged with fourth-degree assault, a misdemeanor.

Goodell introduced a new conduct policy last month that stiffens penalties and holds franchises responsible when their players get into trouble.

Nicholson, a fifth-round draft pick from Florida State in 2006, appeared in only two games last season, when he had a hamstring injury.

Last March, Nicholson pleaded no contest to burglary and grand theft in Tallahassee, Fla., and was sentenced to two months in a work program. He had been charged with stealing electronic equipment and other items from the apartment of a former Florida State teammate.

Nicholson was also placed on two years' probation, which could be jeopardized by his latest arrest.

Taylor Mill police chief Steve Knauf said a woman called police to Nicholson's apartment at 3:10 p.m. on Friday, saying she had been hit in the face. The officer who responded saw that the woman had an injury by her eye.

Nicholson wasn't at the apartment, but later showed up at the police station and was arrested, Knauf said. He faces up to 12 months in jail and a $500 fine if convicted.

He was jailed in the Kenton County (Ky.) Detention Center following his arrest and released late Friday on $5,000 bond, jail personnel said.

Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the team had no immediate comment because it was still gathering information on the arrest.

Nicholson was suspended for Florida State's appearance in the 2006 Orange Bowl after he violated team policy by taking a woman to the team's hotel in Miami.

A month after the Bengals drafted him, he faced the criminal charges in Florida. He and another Florida State player, Fred Rouse, were accused of breaking into the apartment of former teammate Lorenzo Booker and stealing items.

It just doesn't seem as fun taking shots at the Bengals when they cut them from the team.

Nope I stayed on. It eases the hemmoroid flair ups

Nicholson got cut? No longer a Bengal?

Man, I hope he gets help and straightens out his life.

Hey maybe Nicholson will beat the rap and join up with another team...Funny how saying goodbye to a boat load of cash can make people change their stories.....

There may be a future for you AJ. Afterall, Jeremiah Pharms is in the Arena League now and look at what problems he had...

He now know's he did wrong, and wants to move on to bigger and better thing's in his life.....Like playing for the Browns!

"castoffs"

What other criminal castoff did we get?

You repeatedly miss the point too. You must live south of the river so I'll put things slowly for you.

We.......made........fun........of.......the.......fact........that........your........team.......had
.........nine.........arrests.......in........one..........offseason.

Way to go! Good one!

Dawglover05,I think you're gonna have to speak a little s...l...o...w...e...r to him.Just remember who you're dealing with.

I'll take 9 arrests anyday over a 12 loss season and a continual finish in the celler of the AFC North.
I can understand why you guys continue to poke the Bengals and their issues with the off the field stuff.
Cause when your team is as inept as the Browns,you find other teams faults to make yourself feel better,cause your beloved "Dawgs' aren't providing you happiness.
Since Browns have been back since 1999,what has there been worth cheering for?
Not alot.
Go ahead and take your punches at the Bengals and the off the field issues....to a point,its warranted.
Anything to make you forget whats happened since 1999.
Be my guest.

Well speaking from someone who has been a fan since the early 70's I think I can speak my mind! the Bungles have not done anything since they became a team ...And some of the Browns fans followed Coach Brown to Cinncinati....Yes you read me right ! Alll Bungle fans grew from the love of the Browns! It is fact ...sorry to bust your bubble.

Shotty,since the Bengals became a franchise in 1968,we've done more in that timespan than the Browns...

Please show me where they have done more...What the 2 super bowl's?....I rooted for them in both! but just because they have a good season once every 15 years does not make them better then the browns ! look at the record's!.............

Are you talking about head to head or overall win/loss %.

So, let me get this straight, you'd rather:

1. Have nine of your players get arrested and not make the playoffs over

2. Not making the playoffs

??????????????

Logic will only make his head explode ...

Here is a dose of reality for all you slow clownies. The Bengals have beaten the Browns FOUR consecutive times & have won 5 of the last 6 meetings. Also last season your were SWEPT by the ENTIRE division. Trust me you got a lot more to worry about than which Bengal player committed what misdemeanor (None did any prison time by the way). Your team ONLY dates back to the reorganization of the new Browns, any records before then traveled to Balltimore with that team when they fled in the middle of the night.
Take a look at your team since reorganization & trust me there is nothing to brag about. Be my guest & Yak about the silly "criminal" talk, it will net you ZERO wins & the Bengals will still show no mercy on you when we meet again in the fall, remember the beatings the Bengals layed on you last season?

Good Luck this season, you're gonna need it!
