Who would have ever thought that the piano man was also a philosopher?

Quote:“I'm not going to give you the standard answer on that,” Alexander said of Bodine’s contract year. “The standard answer is hey, these guys are pros. But the real answer, the contract's the prize. I mean it really is. You're trying to be the best, and what judges the best? A guy who makes money. So I think all the players rise in a contract year. There's nothing wrong with that. It's like a trophy. That's how I really look at it. I think that's good about the pros. A lot of times people complain 'Oh, they make all this money." So what? So does the best researcher at Procter and Gamble. Is he a lousy researcher because he makes the most money? No. He aspires to be great.”

So, it would appear as Alexander has full confidence in Bodine to play well this season, and earn another contract. So much for all of us who have been hoping for the Bengals to draft the top Center, in each year's draft..
