Odell Thurman In Trouble Again

You think you're safe to read things regarding the Cincinnati Bengals and then things like this happens:

"The Erie County Sheriff's office has issued a felonious assault warrant for former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman in connection with an incident that allegedly occurred May 27 at Kalahari Waterpark Resort, according to the Sandusky Register. The newspaper said Thurman was indicted by an Erie County Grand Jury, and authorities are looking for him." (Dayton Daily News)

Well then. The former Georgia Bulldog is being accused of punching a man in the face. That seems to be happening a lot lately. Thurman was reinstated to the NFL and back on the Bengals for a short time before getting cut by them back in May. And then in June he he had failed another drug test. It may be safe to say that his NFL playing time just might be over.

Odell Thurman Making A Comeback

The Dayton Daily News lets us know that Odell Thurman, the suspended Cincinnati Bengals linebacker, has been allowed to practice and train with the team. He has not been reinstated yet but is pursuing reinstatement. My favorite thing about this story is not that Chris Henry's partner in crime could make a comeback but the comments given by the readers of DDN when they were asked if he should be allowed to return.

hell yeah let him back -Nate

Are you kidding with this question. He should have been able to conme back last year. I personally think the COMMISH really had it in for us last year. Just wait until a really high profile player from a big market team gets into trouble. The punishments will be a lot smaller you’ll see. -Jerry

Well let’s see: Tank Johnson had enough guns to arm a small South American army and he was re-instated. Ricky’s been on the spliff train for years and he was allowed back in so yeah, Odell deserves the go ahead too. Let’s face it, our “D” really hasn’t been the same since the one year he played. I hope he goes from zero to hero again this year. We need him in case you naysayers haven’t noticed how lousy our defense has been lately. Especially, if Zimmer installs the 3-4. -ShockMonkey

Your hero’s aren’t statesmen, leaders, and people who find cures for cancer/various diseases, captains of industry, inventors, peacemakers (when they can), or theologians who preach finding peace with God…your hero’s are overpaid low intelligence trash that occasionally abuse any thing they can. You then let them off because somebody else did it and they got away with it? Ethics, values, integrity, truth, mean nothing to a person who catches a ball, it’s always someone else’s fault. Play ball! -Paul

Ricky Williams was able to come back, michael vick may come back and PATRIOTS CHEATED!!!! Thurman should be able to come back -Tiffany

You get the gist. Fans believe that since other players have done certain things they shouldn't and still got to play then why can't their guy get a second chance. Well, except for Paul. To read more comments click here. They're funny.
