"In Palmer's mind, however, his most formidable foe never recorded a sack or an interception against him, and in fact was not a team but a single man: Bengals owner Mike Brown, with whom Palmer engaged in a Take This Job And Shove It staredown that provoked the quarterback's premature retirement and, eventually, abrupt departure from Cincinnati four seasons ago. "

"Palmer goes on to say "I took an owner head-on, you know?" Palmer told me as the two of us stood at his University of Phoenix Stadium locker following the Cards' 47-7 thrashing of the Niners, which gave Arizona (3-0) a two-game lead in the NFC West three weeks into the season. "That's shunned in this league, and people don't like it -- and the NFL definitely doesn't like it. That's hurt me a lot, and I've been bounced around pretty good since it happened."

the quarterback was awash in his newfound "football heaven," a term employed by tight end Jermaine Gresham, recently acquired from (you guessed it) the Bengals.

"He's pretty [expletive] good," Gresham said of Palmer, with whom he was teammates in Cincinnati during the 2010 campaign. "I think he can be even better."






I'm glad Andy Dalton is my quarterback, and I'm glad Gresham is no longer a Bengal.

Palmer takes pride in 'taking on an owner head-on'? Pathetic.

Defend Palmer all you want but it's petty.

That was an incidental byproduct of Palmer's actions, though. Palmer didn't do what he did because he wanted the Bengals to become better with or without him. He did it because he's a selfish whiny noodle-arm crybaby, and the Bengals are going to kick his ass again in November. It's the easiest thing in the world to get inside that little fraidy cat head of his.

Palmer, in a sense, did that. And I don't mind it. Wasn't the most ideal, but it was necessary.

Palmer is playing lights out. Cool. So is Andy Dalton.

It happened years ago. We got Gio and Kirkpatrick for a player who didn't want to play here.

And I don't blame for Gresham signing somewhere else. He got more flake than he deserved. And he never said anything bad about the team or anything.

Also find it funny that he was questioned for not being tough enough. Meanwhile he played with a back injury he needed surgery for and drove teams away from signing him.

Palmer is a Cardinal. Not a Bengal. We'll see him in November.

It's better to look at the future of the team, not the past. What he did benefited the Bengals in the long haul.

It sounds like everything worked out the way it should have.
