Time to disown Carson Palmer

Just the fact that we can classify and categorize how decades worth of disgruntled former players go about demanding trades and airing complaints about Mike Brown is telling in itself.  We are currently on good terms with Boomer because he demanded a trade in a more diplomatic manner than Carson.  Oy, the bar...is low.  We rank players by the manners by which they wanted out rather than the number of SBs won.  Life as a Bengals fan is an interesting one.

Sorry, Shake's right here.

The media is doing this because it gives them fuel to burn and stories to write.

Willie could come out and say something, WHITWORTH COULD ******* AIR OUT THE LAUNDRY THAT ONLY HIS WIFE HAS ALLUDED TO, Dillion could re-open old wounds, Pickens, Spikes, Shaun Rogers, Sapp, Jonathan joseph, the list goes on and on of people who have dealt with the organization, who could take the Carsone route and give the media even more fuel to throw on the organization...

But they're all staying tight-lipped, for one of three reasons:

1. They're over it
2. They're mature
3. They have more important things going on in their life, than to go to the media, AT THIS SPECIFIC TIME, for the sole purpose of dragging your former employer through the mud.

Or all three reasons, for that matter.

You, I and the entire (sane part of the) Bengals fanbase has 0 issues with what he is saying, but the timing of it and the fact that he's going out of his way to do it, is beyond petty and douchbaggish.

You can't defend or justify the motive either.
