I find it interesting that Marvin Lewis only has positive things to say about Carson Palmer, who has basically said he would rather Fade to Turkey than ever play for Lewis again, but he continually takes shots at Chad OchoCinco.
There isn’t any reason why he should be taking shots— Chad in general has said nothing bad about Lewis or the organization for months.
Ocho, while the lockout is going on, is doing what he can to keep himself in the spotlight including a soccer tryout for an MLS team in Kansas City. Check out what Lewis had to say about that:
Here’s Lewis on Ocho’s dalliance with Major League Soccer: “What has he ever done that he’s completed? What circle has he connected in any way?” Lewis asked.
Sort of like his quarterback not connecting the circle of fulfilling his contract?
If the Bengals and Lewis feel Ocho is this unreliable and a distraction then why is he still on the team? Why hasn’t he been traded or cut? Other players on the Bengals are seeing this and wondering when Lewis will turn on them while still kissing Palmer’s ass.
It is in bad taste and only a coach destined for failure would say these sort of things to the media. Lewis is just showing his true colors and he is as immature, if not more than Chad.
