David went into broadcasting once his broken neck proved to be career-ending.  Most recently he was one of the (better) hosts of ESPN's College Gameday

No thank you. That guy is a DB.

He'll land on his feet. Probably with his beloved SEC network. The NFL has had players receive injuries that left them paralyzed or dead, and they still handled the adversity better than DP.  AKA Ryan Shazier, Damar Hamlin, Chucky Mullins. Ts, I don't wish any ill will on him and hope he lands on his feet.

Didn't like the way Carson Palmer hated on us after we traded him but David Pollack got his neck broke and was playing when we had
arguably the worst owner in the NFL running things. I can understand a touch of hate towards that. Thank God we have different people
running our team towards the Lombardi now.

Good job getting rid of Keyshawn though....he was and is an idiot.

I don't really see the difference between the two.

Palmer's fight was with Mike Brown and, if I remember correctly, many people on those old boards (and current boards) had a fight to pick with Mike.

The difference would be one was the face of the Bengals, a Heisman Trophy winner that was selected #1 overall and was paid in excess of a hundred million dollars and always was paid fair market value or more. Bragged in his final presser that he had gotten every cent of that money as well. Thought that was odd per he was stating MB honored his part of the bargain while he was refusing to do so. Does not bother me but his hate for Ohio State doesn't help amongst this fanbase either. Carson also held the entire team hostage while demanding to be traded, leaving the Bengals hanging out to dry after his abysmal last season. Only to see Dalton lead them straight to the Playoffs his first year. Plus are we really comparing Carson's injuries to a broken neck that ended Pollack's career ? Just think the mindsets would be different with no comeback story on one side while the other kept on playing and making big money. Really not a fan of Pollack off the field either, but Carson I really despise lol.
