My friend who plays for the Bengals is going to be in town this weekend. It didn't even cross my mind to ask him about Coach Coyle and what he thought of him or even his opinion of Reggie Nelson (if we are even looking at him anymore). He's played LB for the Bengals for the past 3 years, so I'm sure he has some sort of insight. Any questions you guys want me to ask him? I try not to bombard him with questions about football but it's hard not to sometimes. We had a convo last summer that consisted of T.O and Ochocinco were actually very good teammates and locker-room guys but the media stirs the pot. He said the guys who you think are jerks are usually well-liked in the locker-room and the one's that you'd never guess are the a-holes. He was also telling me that Carson retiring rather than playing was a bluff and that he really wouldn't play for the bengals, but he was pushing for a trade and never really intended on retiring. Nothing earth-shattering, but just cool to hear some of the locker-room chatter that takes place.
So again, any questions that you guys have I will try to "casually bring up" this weekend.
