Speaking of the Dolphins, am I out-of-line in thinking it is a great idea for the Bengals to pursue Randy McMichael?

dcs-

McMichael sounds like a great idea... if you want to add a guy that has twice faced domestic violence charges on a team looking to shape up it's character.

I say, not a chance they'll look at him

Thank God Porter didn't come here. That would be all the Bengals needed, a low character over the hill loudmouth taking up $5 million a year in cap space.
