Billboarding


Marvin Lewis and the Cincinnati Bungles brain trust, in their infinite wisdom, have brought back much-maligned wide receiver Chris Henry into the fold – doubtless to the joy of the Bengals beat writers, who are now guaranteed at least three juicy stories to cover this year. That joy is not shared by the fans of the orange and black, however. A fan in the Cincinnati area bought space on a billboard along I-75 outside of the city and posted what you see on the left. That got me to thinking, "What if every team had some rich sarcastic fan who wanted to put up billboards so that everybody could read what they have to say?" It'd be like the ultimate blog post, there's not much more of a captive audience than people on the highway. Here are some signs I'd like to see.
Baltimore Ravens: Our defense will kill you (or at least stand by and watch as you are killed)
Houston Texans: At least we didn't pick Reggie Bush.
Tennessee Titans: We're gonna try and have more TDs than INTs this year. Try.
Buffalo Bills: We used to lose Super Bowls.
Miami Dolphins: 2-14 this year? Dare we dream for 3-13?
New England Patriots: We hid the cameras better this time.
New York Jets: He's old, but he's good.
Oakland Raiders: Javon Walker. Good call, Great White Tracksuit.
San Diego Chargers: Built for the regular season.
Chicago Bears: Kyle Orton - Rex Grossman without the arm strength.
Detroit Lions: Hey God, I thought we were your team? Our QB said so...
Green Bay Packers: Teddy T, you won the pissing contest. Congratulations on a 4-12 season.
New Orleans Saints: Jeremy Shockey will behave here, because people change, right? Right?
Arizona Cardinals: Matt Leinart is only dating grad students now, he is maturing.
San Francicso 49ers: Home of #1 overall pick Alex Smith, clipboard jockey.
St. Louis Rams: Thanks for holding out, Steven. Your teammates appreciate you.
