My man Dr. Z, not the Chrysler guy but Paul "Dr. Z" Zimmerman of Sports Illustrated and SI.com, places the Cincinnati Bengals at No. 1 in his power rankings this week. Read it here.
Meanwhile, Odell Thurman is gone for the season, thanks to the NFL. Will be interesting to see if the Bengals do anything to troubled wide out Chris Henry, who makes great plays on the field and dumb ones off. Henry and rookie wide out Reggie McNeal were riding with Thurman when the linebacker was pulled over and charged with DUI on Monday. According to the police report, Henry stuck his head out of the window and vomited on the side of the car. Nice.
If only the guys had driven Henry’s car, the one mounted with a Breathalyzer linked to the ignition.
