Mike Brown Thought Process, Prison = Experience

Isn't it odd that the terror alert level jumps to orange whenever the Bengals travel.

I’m not one to cast aspersions down on athletes with criminal records. I am one to deride the Bengals for continuing to draft players that may end up suspended. If I didn’t know any better I would think Mike Brown likes these suspendable players because he doesn’t have to pay their salary when they are taking a forced break from football.

With that outlook, why not sign Maurice Purify. He’s big, he can catch, he knows how to gain respect in an all male testosterone crazed environment where you lift weights all day under supervision. (I’m not talking about a training facility) It could be good in the sense that if the revolution ever goes from the screen to the streets, who better to lead the charge than a person who has spent time in the Bastille and surely knows how to fashion a shank.

We all know Mike Brown doesn’t gamble on unrigged events. But if he did, wouldn’t these signings and draft picks point towards him orchestrating a guards versus inmates game at the Hamilton County Jail, or Butler County, or wherever Cincinnati’s never ending flow of inmates are being funneled to because of the overzealous drug laws in our city.

Purify, along with every other once captive Bengal, has been released back into the wild after a litany of law breaking offenses. I guess it’s hard for a Bengal to find a good drinking hole with the Red Cheetah closed down. Interestingly, the closing of the Cheetah in October of 2006 directly coincides with the Bengal’s historic wave of crime spanning the whole nation.

It’s just something to think about while you stay indoors due to Chris Henry’s possible stints off house arrest.
