Oh well, Anthony Collins has been playing well in his place. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

Yeah, it does suck. I liked Smith's game in college, but didnt know he was allergic to training and this just seems like really bad luck.

As for Collins, I really like his ability as well. I think the Bungles have some decent talent on the O line, its just that Andre Smith might have the lazy attitude.

Wait wait wait...this wasn't a "hold out", Smith just wanted more money than the Bengals were going to give him so he refused to participate in camp until they caved to his wishes...

Now I'd hardly call that a hold out...c'mon guys, Marv even said it wasn't, and the Bengals fans agreed with him...Geesh!

In all honesty, I really don't see what difference this will make...even with an easy schedule the Bengals were destined for mediocrity this year...

Well he will be well worth of that 6th overall pick. I smell Ki Jana Carter all over again.

The Cincinnati Bengals sure know how to pick them, don't they.

I mean really...Smith is hurt? No kidding, the guy was so out of shape he'd break his foot putting on his shoes.

Just wow. I may need to revamp my prediction that the Bengals finish 2nd in the AFC North...well maybe not since they can go .500 and still have a better season than the fckwads from Baltimore...
