Inspired by a previous post by bengalbear and this Web gallery on The Enquirer's Web site today:

Which shows all the bungles players' run-ins with the law since 2000, I decided to actually look up how many bungle draft picks have been, well, bungled by the brownHole in the sense that the player later turned out to commit a criminal offense and thus distracted or wasn't there for the team.

These are only players the Bungles have drafted (so this doesn't count Ced or Pac-Man, et al) who got in trouble while they were on the team (no Darnay Scott either, though I think he became a dead-beat dad if I remember correctly), and I have excluded those who later had their charges dropped (Levi Jones, Neil Rackers, Akili Smith and Steve Foley). I also only mention each player only once, even if they committed multiple offenses (Chris Henry, AJ Nicholson).

How many do you think there were?

15! Yep, in just 11 years of drafting, the brownHole has unearthed 15 gems. Not only is that more than one per year, assuming a 7 round draft each year, that 15 out of 77 picks represents 19.5% of all their picks!!! Almost 20% criminal! Of course there are supplemental picks, and we do tend to get a lot of them since we have a cheap owner, so the true percentage would be somewhat lower, but it would clearly be above 15%

I don't know what the league average is, but if anyone cares to find out I'll bet a bundle that we are above it.

I dont need no stinkin scouting department.I have the same info as everyone else..LMMFAO what a putz

Bengals in trouble with the law since 2000

Page 1 of 34  Bwahahahaha!  Now granted, some of the players are listed multiple times but still.

I'd like to see a comparison to other teams in the league. 

--------------------------------------------
"With a quarterback greener than a first year, a hovering ghost, and a magic wand of an offense handed down from the founding fathers of the franchise, Jay Gruden is a fiery, passionate underdog in the Harry Potter mold." Geoff Hobson July 15, 2011

Brown on being back to work: "We're like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."

I meant to post the names of the draft picks in trouble with the law since 2000 as well:

Maurice Purify
Rey Maualuaga
Leon Hall
Ahmad Brooks
Chris Henry
AJ Nicholson
Jo-Jo
Reggie McNeal
O'Dell Thurman
Matthias Askew
Tremain Mack
Corey Dillon
Eric Steinbach
Frostee Rucker
Justin Smith

Also, I couldn't find out who James Lynch was drafted by. There was a more famous Jim Lynch that played football, but if anyone remember James Lynch of the bungs being drafted by the bungs let me know, that would make 16. Also not mentioned, but likely to be added to the list, is Simpson and Collins. And this years rookie class has hardly had enough time to get their stupid on, but statistically speaking one of them will turn out to be a criminal also.

Anyway, if Lynch, Simpson and Caldwell get added to the list, we could easily have 18 draft picks arrested at some point during the last 11 seasons! This might be another record we can add to his laundry list of incompetent accomplishments.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

IF this team was like the 1990s version of the Dallas Cowboys--that is winning championships--snorting a Scarface-like mound of coke--then going out to the club and beating up a few hookers/punkazzes/fans that get in their faces to get a buyout.


But no. These guys are losers--and have no urge to win whatsoever. They're just nobody convicts. If they weren't being paid a bunch of money to handle the pigskin rock--then they would be knocking off convenient stores.

On second thought--they make tons of money and still knock off those said convenient stores or deal drugs like they were in the middle of South Central. Not Indian Hill. LMAO.
