Bengals sign Antonio Bryant, killing the T.O. + Ochocinco dream
March 10th, 2010 No comments »
The
Cincinnati Bengals did indeed sign a free agent receiver, but it wasn’t the one
that Chad Ochocinco(notes) wanted. It’s Antonio
Bryant, who had a really good year once.
Chad wanted Terrell Owens(notes). He wanted him so badly that last
night on Twitter, he volunteered to let Owens be Batman while he’d take the
Robin role. He then he went on to cast the rest of "Batman" with
various other members of the Bengals organization. Carson Palmer(notes) got stuck being
Alfred, the poor guy.
Chad’s taking the
news well.
I admit, I’m disappointed that we won’t be seeing Owens and Ochocinco on the
same team. I try not to make it a habit of wishing for things that make Carson
Palmer bleed out of his eyeballs when he thinks about them, but I honestly think
this would’ve worked. Chad and Ocho could’ve helped each other.
I think they’d have been a calming influence on one another…
