BTW, all the credit in the world to Whit. A total class act who deserves everything he gets.
I fully blame the Bengals for sticking with Og too long. I do not blame them for giving him a shot though, nor do I blame them for looking at a big 3 year deal for a 35 year old and thinking twice. Be honest. The Pats would've done the same thing in the same scenario. The difference is they probably would've done everything else better.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
