It is TMZ so I don't know how accurate they are with Breaking News when it deals with sports?

Oh I hope so, that program is the worse...It would be fitting to see him as a Bungle.

They actually do break a lot of sports news but its normally not stuff like who's signing where. TMZ was the first to report the Tiger situation and I know they have also been the first to report some other scandals. I didn't think he would go to the Bengals tho. If he does I will certainly pick up Palmer in the later rounds and try to get Ocho early(I already think he will have a lot better year than last year) in FF this year.

Chad a #2 and TO a #3, I'll take it. This team has quite a bit of young WR talent though, I don't see why they would do it.

Yeah TMZ is usually spot on about most things. As a Bengals fan I'm not much of a fan of this move.

Bengals have Bryant, Ocho, Caldwell, Shipley, Matt Jones, Simpson already. They have some other WR/special teams guys too like Cosby. I think I'd rather give Jones or Simpson a chance rather than sign TO now that I think about it.

exactly, I love T.O. and wanted him to the Bengals before acquiring Bryant, but now there just isnt room for him..

Simpson has been a bust, sad but true.

Coke Zero has lost a step since being suspended last season.

I have no issues with the Bengals signing T.O., however, if you are wanting to hang onto a wide receiver to develop, I would hang onto Briscoe.

Apparently Matt Jones is still fighting for a roster spot and Antonio Byrant's knee has still been a slight problem this off-season ..... I actually wouldn't mind the addition of T.O.....

If you got a lineup of Chad, T.O., Caldwell, Gresham & Benson out there as weapons there would be a lot of one on one coverage

Yeah Simpson will probably be given his walking papers before the regular season kicks off. Dude has done nothing.

The Bengals passing game was not very good last year. To me Antonio Bryant was a horrible signing. Too much money for him. If the Bengals sign Owens and it works out it could really boost the offense. However, between he and Ocho and I believe they both now have television shows it could be more destracting than it is worth.

Adding TO would make this offense powerful. 3 Good WR's spread out across the field with Benson in the backfield. As long as Carson Palmer can get them the ball that offense should put up huge numbers and they would have a d with a great secondary and good linebackers and a so so dline.

I would love to be a fly on the wall in that locker room. T.O, Ochocinco, Pacman, I mean there are some awful big personalities in there.

If this happens, about every defense in the AFC north will shit their pants. It would be one hell of an offense when you have Antonio Bryant as your 3rd option. Jermaine Gresham will have a great rookie season, and with a revived cedric benson in the backfield. I like everything the bengals are doing.
