Sorry CDT, with the developing circumstances, I felt it was appropriate to re-title this thread. :chuckles:.. - PIP
THURMAN DONE WITH FOOTBALL? (AND MIGHT BE A CRACK ADDICT..)
As a torrent of rumor and innuendo continues to swirl around Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman, we're getting the distinct impression that the kid might never play football again.
At a bare minimum, he's not likely (in our opinion) to play this season.
Thurman already has been suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the substance abuse policy, and based on some of the things we've heard we think the penalty could have been more severe. Because the obligation to submit to testing continues, it still could be.
And as further evidence to support our belief that coach Marvin Lewis is reaching (or beyond) the breaking point regarding the actions -- and ensuing scrutiny of -- his in-house butthole patrol, Lewis offered a string of contradictory sound bites on Saturday when asked about the failure of Thurman to report for training camp.
"It's a non-factor. We expect him here. If you want to be in charge of him you're welcome,” Lewis said. “He's dealing with some things with his family and they'd asked if he was allowed to do this. There's no pressing need for him to be here."
Interesting...A Mac you were slamming Phil for passing on this guy and taking Pool. Apparently he knew something because our need for a LB far outweighed our need for a safety. D'Qwell > Thurman
Thoughts?

Even though you never want to see this happen to anyone.
