just read a hilarious article

Postby clarion contrarion » Thu Apr 19, 2018 1:29 pm

about the bengals in 1999 passing on a trade that included the saints entire draft 1st(1:12) , 3rd ,4th ,5th ,6th ,7th ,2000 1st ,2001 1st & 2002 2nd for the 3rd pick in the draft and then picked with the 3rd pick they kept AKILI SMITH !

That is astounding unparalleled incompetence !
shockingly the bengals have not won a playoff game since the early 90's

luckily even as a 7 year old I was wise enough to latch onto the steelers rather than the bengals or browns back when the Indianapolis TV stations aired the old AFC central games as the local games of choice.

Holy smokes, I have never heard that story. That is Herschel Walker-franchise altering there. Also, nice choice on choosing the Steel Curtain.

My GOD that is BRUTAL! Lol. Why is this not a thing? There should be a saying like "You '99 Bengaled it" when you REALLY mess up. That is the stuff of legend. Thanks for sharing CC.

And I thought what the Redskins gave up for RG3 was a lot. That is an insane amount of picks. I don't understand why they wouldn't do it for the sheer number of players they would acquire, giving them at least a better chance at landing players that are starter worthy. This is like something I'd expect the Browns to do.

I wonder if that's what's going to happen with the owners of the 1.01 passing up ridiculous overpays for the pick.

Ricky Williams.
So basically the Bengals helped save the Saints from being the laughingstock of all time - since the price they paid for 5th was a lot less than the price they offered for the 3rd.

The drafting of Akili Smith was the only thing that over-shadowed the incompetence of Cleveland selecting Tim Couch instead of Donovan McNabb.
