Unfortunately, Lane Kiffindecided not to make hump day a little more hump-erific, but there's always Chad Javon Ocho Cinco. During his Wednesday conference call with the Dallas-area media, Mr. Ocho Cinco decided to throw down the gauntlet.
Specifically, he's very unhappy about the Bengals' 0-4 start and is apparently willing to do anything to turn things around against the Cowboys this Sunday. Including a pregame, take-the-edge-off beer bong.
Chad Javon Ocho Cinco: I'm not holdin' nothin' back. Man, we 0-4, we pissed off, I'm pissed off, the players over here pissed off, somebody got to pay. I want you to tell (Cowboys defensive coordinator) Brian Stewart, I love him to death, but somebody got to get it.
Q: Are you saying that after an 0-4 start you guys are anxious to do anything and everything to get a win?
CJOC: Man, we are gonna throw everything at (inaudible), the kitchen sink out there in Dallas. I'm bringin' everything, I'm bringin' the cold tub, the hot tub, I'm bringin' the training room. Man, I mean, what else can we do? What else can we do?
Q: You're 0-4, what gives you reason to believe that what you guys wanna do is going to be effective in winning your first game?
CJOC: We don't have a choice. We don't have a choice. We don't have a choice. We got to do everything possible to get out of this slump. T.J., am I right? Housh just said I'm write (media members chortle, guffaw). He said I'm right, he's standing right here with me. Yeah, our trainer just said we need a slump-buster. I think we need to open up, that's what I think. I think we've been very vanilla ... at this point, you've got to go all out ... why not? When you're playing against a team like Dallas, there's no time to half-step at all. ...
What we've been doing has been good -- we have a good plan week in and week out, but we're not winning, we're not putting up -- can I curse? (media members heartily support CJOC's need to curse). We're 0-4 and I'm pissed off, I need to express myself here: we're 0 and f**king 4 and we need to come and just let it rip.
And then there's this, Part B of Ocho Cinco's "Solution to Helping the Bengals Turn Things Around and Save Marvin Lewis' Job in the Process." It all sounds very much like Tony Robbins on lithium, which is to say: the Bengals will probably win four games this season before hiring Scott Linehan in February to right the ship. That should make Chadwick very happy.
