Yeah, it was just a matter of time before Thurman did something wrong. His biggest knock out of Georgia was his attitude. - Chris Henry- Frostee Rucker- Odell Thurman- Chad Johnson- Ahmad BrooksA lot of talkers (Chad Johnson) and trouble makers on that team.
Weird I thought I replied to what venom said...I just said that makes sense as to why they went after Brooks but it doesnt make sense why they would want another trouble maker on the team. Why replace one with another one? It's a vicious cycle.

Why do you think that T.O. keeps getting work?
Yeah I know I know but Cincy has enough trouble trying to get their current players to buckle down, why on Earth they'd go out hunting for more is beyond me... especially since they are replacing a troubled player with another troubled player. You'd just think they'd be smart enough to avoid guys like this.
