a little bit of resolve

Before the soccer game on Saturday, Jess and I went down to Paul Brown Stadium for the Bengals' open mini-camp practice. We had a good time. It was fun to see the players out practicing and to get a look at new members of the team like Chatman and McNeal. Tab Perry looked impressive and I think he'll be making a much bigger impact out there this year. It was also nice to see Rudi looking good after his injuries last year. Chad had pulled his groin the day before, but he looked just fine. He made some very nice catches and naturally was standing out by wearing a pair of bright orange shorts in contrast to the black worn by literally everyone else. Kelly Washington did the squirrel after catching a pass in the endzone. Palmer was a no-show, but after the way he practiced during the week, I don't think anyone will complain about him taking a day to rest. We got to watch Anthony Wright, Doug Johnson, and Dave Ragone takes turns at quarterback, but there's no way to really determine how they'll measure up for a real game. Jess got some nice pictures, which I might post if she ever puts them online.


We found out that Chad Johnson has a book coming out: Chad: I Can't Be Stopped. It's written by Paul Daugherty of the Enquirer. I think it's hilarious. You can check out a sample chapter on the site.
