It never fails. After a game, lots of details come leakin’ out. The Cincinnati Bengals opener against Denver is no exception.

Here are some items revealed after the game:

1. The Bengals think T.J. Houshmandzadeh should be the Comeback Player of the Year. It’s not for the season he might have, they just want him to come back.

2. Denver had several decisions to make last week against the Bengals. Of all the decisions they made, deciding to play the Bengals was the easiest.

3. Coach Marvin Lewis was caught in an embarrassing photo by the local press. He wasn’t with another woman or drunk. He was still wearin’ his Bengals’ coaching shirt.

4. Mike Brown hired Monk because he needed a great detective to help his team find the end zone.

5. Six Bengals left the game together in a car. Lewis asked who was drivin’ and Carson Palmer said, “Who else? The police.”

Ennywho, last week I wuz 17-3 to make it 48-13 on thuh season (.787). On to week four.
