The Draft is Over- What are the Results?
With the fantasy draft over, here are some new Big-Name Bengals:
Bengals first round pick: They were QB hunting, and it came down to Tom Brady, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers. Bengals chose Rodgers.
"He's got a bright future...Favre might retire on us." Why not Brady? The world may never know...
Bengals 2nd Round Pick: Having a ground threat to go along with a sky threat is a good combo. They took the speedy DeAngelo Williams.
"If he can get around or through a defense, he'll be off to the races."
Bengals 3rd Rounder: Bengals GM wanted someone to be able to catch the passes from Rodgers. Why not take Chad Ochocinco for another round of fun?
"He's fun to have around and is an excellent WR. No doubt choice."
Bengals 4th Rounder: Bengals GM CGL had experience with this guy before...he can kick it far.
"No doubt for me. Rob Bironas."
Bengals 5th Rounder: Now they needed someone to lead their defenses.
"I searched through all our choices, and I believe this guy is the one. Experience and ability. That's why we chose London Fletcher."
That wraps up our look into the top 5 picks by Cinci! Stay tuned for preseason matchups!

Bengals look to turnaround a dismal 3-13 '09
The Draft is coming. Bengals are looking to turnaround a very disappointing '09 season.
"Hey, lets move forward. If we keep are heads back in the past, they'll stay there." says QB Aaron Rodgers.
The Titans and Panthers faced off in the 2010 Super Bowl in Miami. Titans beat the Panthers 31-17. The Underdog Titans came and toppled over Philip Rivers and the Panthers. Titans QB Chad Pennington had a great game, with 107.8 Passer Rating.

Colts come to Cinci to face the Bengals
Cincinatti-
Fans are energized by last weeks performance against the Bucs. This week the Bengals will face the daunting challenge of the Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts are coming off a 39-31 win at home. Jason Campbell had a less-than-spectacular game with a passer rating just below 50. Bengals need to worry about the Colt's running offense.
Lendale White and Correll Buckhalter come off a game with a combined 24 ATT, 354 YDS and 3 TDS. This game will be a good one.

Defense comes out big for Bengals
In a game all about defense, the Bengals came out winners.
Jabari Greer had his best day ever (probably) with 2 INT from his own endzones back to the opponents. The only offense for the Bengals were field goals, with 3 (9 points). The Bengals defense was amazing, allowing only one field goal. The defense had 2 INT and 2 forced fumbles which were huge. The offense did'nt show up today.
Final: 22-3 Bengals

BLOCKBUSTER TRADE-MANNING TO CINCI
Tuesday, an off day for all NFL Games, involves a huge trade- Aaron Rodgers, DeAngelo Williams, and a 1st Round pick for Texans QB Peyton Manning and RB Rashard Mendenhall. Bengals GM CGL has this to say:
"I thought Aaron Rodgers would be good. But he and DeAngelo (Williams) haven't been living up to their Madden OVR Ratings, both at 94. Peyton Manning and (Rashard) Mendenhall have put up good numbers and I was interested."

TRADE:
Bengals Receive: Texans Receive:
QB Peyton Manning QB Aaron Rodgers
RB Rashard Mendenhall RB DeAngelo Williams
