lmao, that's fucked up!

[Vinsane]

You have HBO confused with FOX... The show was called Prison Break.

Really? The Bengals? Nobody gives a shit about the Bengals.

I'll still watch, but they couldn't have picked a more irrelevant team, in my mind.

I actually saw some of this on NFL: Network last night. It actually doesn't look half bad and not to mention it will be cool seeing what Ocho Cinco is up to.

[Tailback U]

Ocho Cinco, Carson Palmer, Keith Rivers, and Rey Maualuga are the guys I'm looking forward to seeing.

I love this show, no matter what team. The first time they did it - it was the Cowboys, then one time the Chiefs...then Cowboys again.

Fucked up alphabetical order.

Love the show!

[Leftwich]

I'll watch. I wanna see how Carson Palmer is playing after the injury.

I didn't like the Cowboys last year but i did enjoy the Chiefs two years ago. But HBO has been doing this for a while. They did it with the Ravens the year after they won the superbowl and the Jaguars Jack Del Rio's first year as head coach. Love the show, i am looking forward to it.

Actually the first time they did it was in 2001 with the Ravens. Right after they won the superbowl. It stared Todd Heap and a few other rookies that no longer play for Baltimore.

I liked that season cause it showed you how a rebuilding team rebuilds.

i wanna see ocho talk shit about the team and the city, palmer i dont care about but I do wanna see rivers talking with his newly repaired jaw. I hope he is stupid enough to talk shit about hines. I got 10 bucks says they bring up carson's injury in the playoff game in 05-06.

The Bengals won't do that. The main reason Marvin Lewis wanted this is because he wants to show the world that his team isn't as bad as people think and they are working hard to clean up their act. Not only that, but guys will play harder and act a little more professional when they know cameras are all over them. Except for Ocho Cinco.

Dan Patrick said that Marvin Lewis has been asking to be on this for a couple years now and they almost did the Bengals then instead of the Chiefs, I believe.

Should be a good series the more I think about it, the Bengals had what most people considered one of the best overall drafts so it will be fun to get a first look at all those rookies competing.

[steeljake]

right, so what episode do you think will have 85 crying on the phone to his agent that TJ got out and he doesnt understand why he cant get out to?
