Silver Article on Palmer

This was pretty much why I made the thread.

I'm of the opinion that both guys (Mike Brown and Palmer) were stubborn. Mike Brown isn't some strategical genius, and Palmer didn't stand up to a tyrant.
They were like two characters from a certain Dr. Seuss book.




I just thought the article made Cinci sound like the evil villain, which isn't the whole story. Silver did a bad job representing us in the story. He is a journalist though so I should expect this. The part about getting Gresham from (you guessed it) the Bengals got me pissed off. Makes it sound like we are some team that good players are dying to leave when it is quite the contrary.
