Unless Lewis and Ocho drop some foot fetish videos soon, their marriage is headed for divorce.
I think everyone in Cincinnati needs a fresh start somewhere else. Marvin Lewis, Carson Palmer, Ocho and everyone else just seems like they are ready to move on.
The Bengals franchise as a whole is just a downer.
Lewis knowing he is not going to get a new contract held nothing back when talking about Ocho who is dealing with an injury.
Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis was asked about Ochocinco’s foot injury and he responded, “Well, he’s being his mopey self. Hopefully, he can pull himself out of it and move forward … When things don’t go Chad’s way, that’s kinda how it happens.”
Lewis didn’t stop there, when Lewis was asked about how he deals with Ochocinco in his current state, lew is responded, “I don’t deal with it. We just move on. We’ll put a new guy in there. If he’s not ready to go Sunday, we’ll have somebody in there ready to go and go from there.”
It is hypocritical for the Bengals to get on T.O. for telling the truth (even if it was ill timed) about the coaches only to have the head coach talk down about the players.
It doesn’t matter if it is true or not, but practice what you preach.
I will give him points for using the term “mopey”, I think that is part of the Eddie Haskell school of disses.
Ocho responded via Twitter.
“Since when the [expletive] am I ever mopey?” Ochocinco tweeted. “I’m injured for the 1st time in 9 years and it’s called being mopey, unless I’m dead then I get respect.”
I agree with Ocho— it was uncalled for and he along with Batman are being made scapegoats.
Lewis doesn’t care anymore and not many on the Bengals roster care anymore. They all need to clear out their offices and lockers.
