Most of the returns we've seen

had him showcase his straight line speed. He had a lot of jukes and restarts in this one. He showed great moves. Very proud of him.

Stumpy: It's called the '80s. Ford was president, Nixon was in the White House, and FDR was running this country into the ground. I was bummin' in a hole-in-the-wall town in what is now called "Utah".

Right on brother...

I will find myself rooting for Cincy and Cleveland this year.

It's pretty much the old AFC Central, minus Baltimore

Tennessee, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh have had plenty of Longhorns on their rosters recently. It pisses me off that almost none end up going to Baltimore, although now Sergio’s brought his act to town. Here’s hoping he gets healthy and stops getting into mysterious accidents.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

True.

He made some slick moves. I hope to see more.

thanks for posting

When I heard about the return I looked at NFL.com only to find Cincy’s actual touchdown and no return in the full game highlights

Dang, I was under the impression it was just 63 yards...

didn’t realize that in context, it was 63 yards almost to a touchdown. Glad to see him make some moves! (But slightly sad that he may, as someone else mentioned, bump Cosby off the team…)

More like Owens might, I guess

Cosby might have had better odds had it not been for the Owens signing, don’t you think?

Not really.

Owens is a wide-out, not a slot player like Cosby and Shipley are. In addition, Cosby saw most of his action last season as a punt returner (returned every punt all season, was #5 in the league for return yards), which we all know Shipley is just as qualified to do.

But maybe the Bengals HC decides (unlike Mack) that he’d rather not risk injury to Ship, and keeps Cosby back on returns.
