Good job men, you fought hard today. What do you say we call it a tie and go for ice cream? Facing a fourth down at the Cleveland’s 41 with just over a minute remaining in overtime Bengals coach Marvin Lewis “was content to play for the tie.” Before he could punt, the Browns called a timeout giving Cincinnati’s players a chance to twist Marvin’s arm into allowing them to run another play, and eventually win the game. Lewis won’t lose his job for being a total pussy, but if he ever does there will always be a place for him on the sidelines for Portsmouth FC. [Courier Journal]

“Remember how much fun last year’s tie was? Do I have to show you the photo gallery again?”

ZOMG! Jokes about Pompey!

Lewis will be credited with motivating Palmer to show leadership through his own surrender

This is all well and good except for the fact that Shayne Graham missed that last kick. Oh, the Browns got jobbed? Nothing to see here.

No he didn’t.

That’s a solid Ravens fan impression.

Chad Ochocinco was so happy with the win he invited anybody who reads his Twitter to meet him for dinner last night. As much as I hate the Bengals, it’s getting harder and harder to dislike that guy.

How is that a solid Ravens fan impression? Roughing the quarterback is in the rulebook, and they got called for it. Last time I checked, it’s also in the rulebook that you need to actually make the field goal for the points to count.

Any sense in me pointing out that Porstmouth won at the weekend? No? All right then, I’ll see myself out…

If the FG didn’t go in, don’t you think we’d be reading about a bunch of whiny-ass Browns players and/or Tubby Mangina complaining that they got jobbed? Or were they all too busy punching 130-lb men? (Note: the answer is NOT that the Skidmarks are too classy to complain)

Fickle- No, since Pompey’s still at the bottom of the table…
Doc- Certainly a legitimate point, and after a few days it does seem to be limited to Browns or Bengals fans who saw it on TV. Your Braylon comment, however, is less useful. Sure he’s an idiot who should be suspended if that’s what happened, but I’m sure whatever team you follow has absolutely no moronic jocks on it.
