Top 5 Player Jerseys from the Cincinnati Bengals

What Cincinnati Bengal jerseys should fans be wearing this season? If you live outside of greater Cincinnati, there aren't many common, household names on the Bengal roster this fall—but, for fans ready to sport Bengal gear, there are a few player names that should be gracing the backs of those fan jerseys.

These past Bengal draft picks all have the potential to bring the glory days back to Paul Brown Stadium:

Andy Dalton(notes), #14. Stepping in as Carson Palmer's(notes) replacement in 2011, rookie Andy Dalton has settled into the role of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback. The fiery redhead is leading the offensive youth movement for the Bengals. While Dalton's potential was doubted by critics early on, he managed to post some early wins and may be a second-round draft pick gem. Dalton is earning fan respect and reviving life in "The Jungle." Fans should have no difficulty finding an Andy Dalton #14 jersey or Dalton scrimmage T-shirt.

A.J. Green(notes), #18. Another rookie making a name for himself in Cincinnati is wide receiver A.J. Green. Size, speed and acrobatic catches make Green a fan favorite. Green gives fans a lot to be hopeful for—he leads rookies in touchdowns, receptions and receiving yards through the early 2011 season and is expected to be one of Dalton's primary competitors for Rookie of the Year honors. Both A.J. Green #18, jerseys and A.J. Green scrimmage T-shirts are available in sporting goods shops and online.

Leon Hall(notes), #29. Is Hall one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL? He led the Bengals in interceptions from 2007-2010. Bengal fans have come to expect Hall to make things happen for the defense-and since the durable Hall has played in every game through his first four seasons, fans are becoming familiar with Bengal jersey #29. A replica Leon Hall jersey is a bit harder to find than Dalton's or Green's—but, is available online.

Andrew Whitworth(notes), #77. Andrew Whitworth has not only served the Bengals at left tackle, but as team captain as well. Since Whitworth joined the Bengals in 2006, he has positioned himself as a team leader and asset to the Bengal offense. Having trouble tracking down a Whitworth jersey? Customize an Andrew Whitworth, #77, jersey online.

Jermaine Gresham(notes), #84. Cincinnati Bengal tight end Gresham offers young Andy Dalton a promising target on offense. The 6-foot-5-inch 260-pound Gresham has the potential to be the Bengal's best pass receiving tight end since Bob Trumpy. An authentic replica Jermaine Gresham jersey or scrimmage shirt are readily available online and in sports shops.

Big news:Houshmandzadeh joins Raiders now!

Nearly 10 months after his dropped pass ended Baltimore’s playoff chances, Houshmandzadeh is back in the NFL with Oakland, hoping a reunion with his old quarterback and his former position coach will help lead the Raiders to the playoffs.

“That was the biggest reason (for) me going to Baltimore last year and, again, when it mattered, I dropped the ball,” he said yesterday. “That’s something I really don’t do, so I’m eager to get that behind me also.”

Houshmandzadeh practiced for the first time with the wholesale jerseys Raiders a day after signing. But he needed no introductions to quarterback Carson Palmer, his teammate for six seasons in Cincinnati and longtime offseason workout partner, or coach Hue Jackson, his receivers coach for three years with the Bengals.

“(Familiarity) plays a part in it. That wasn’t a total part,” Jackson said. “I got a group of young guys who are very, very talented, and having somebody that you can really look to, that can show you a little bit of the rope of what it’s like of being a pro in this league, week in and week out, day in and day out, will make a difference with this football team.”

Houshmandzadeh averaged 89 catches over a five-year span in Cincinnati. His best season came in 2007, when he caught a career-high 112 passes for 1,143 yards and 12 touchdowns.

“He’s really another quarterback on the field,” Palmer said. “He knows more about offensive and defensive football than any non-quarterback I’ve ever been around. He understands concepts, he understands schemes, alignments, all the little things a lot of receivers overlook. He’s a student of the game and it’s going to be a really big help, especially for these young guys to have him around.”
Benson rejoins Bengals

Bengals running back Cedric Benson was activated to the 53-man roster after serving a one-game suspension for violating the league’s personal-conduct policy.

The suspension, which was reduced from its original three games, was a result of two assault charges Benson has faced the past two years that have since been settled.

The Bengals waived cornerback Morgan Trent to make room for Benson on the roster.

It Isn't Pretty For Vikings Fans

The folks from Bristol, Connecticut keep the arrow pointed downwards for the Vikings this week. After having them at number 28 going into Week 4, their Week 5 NFL Power Rankings have dropped the Vikings a couple of spots down to number 30.

Once again, ESPN provides some of the most inane commentary connected with these Power Rankings, with this week's drivel coming courtesy of John Clayton.

At 0-4, the Vikings' brass must be pondering a quarterback change in the next few weeks.

Gee, you reckon?

But then, as we always say. . .and you can sing along with me, if you'd like. . .that's why they're the "worldwide leader."

Yes, the Vikings are probably going to consider a quarterback change. I'd be surprised if it happens before the bye week or anything like that, but at this rate, I suppose that anything is possible. But to say that Donovan McNabb isn't getting the job does is almost cliche at this point.

Do you Belive That Chicago Bears Jerseys is One of The Oldest Jerseys

Chicago Bears were founded in 1919 in Decatur, Illinois. In 1921 they moved to Chicago and become one of the founding members of NFL, one of two founding franchises still active, the second being Arizona Cardinals, originally also from Chicago. Chicago Bears are owners of many of NFL records, including most members enshrined it The Hall of Fame and most victories. The team has won eight NFL Championships and Super Bowl XX. Since 1971 they play on Soldier Field stadium. Their arch rivals are Green Bay Packers. Below, we are going to take a closer look at Chicago Bears Jerseys.
Chicago Bears' jersey came a long way from the ones originally used in 1920s. Those were made of wool, blue with tan stripes sewn into then, which were actually made of leather, to help player get a better grip on the ball. In 30s, they changed to all orange jersey and pants, and in 1936 they added orange stripes to the helmets and change jersey color to white. This was described by some fan as "an early version of psychedelia". The new designed was abandoned after just one season, after the fans showed how much they disliked it.
The familiar navy blue shirts with white, rounded numbers first appeared in 1949. In 1956 they added what was then called a TV numbers, player numbers on the jersey sleeves. In memory of George "Papa Bear" Halas, team added his initials GSH to the sleeves in 1984 season.
Today, they play in white or navy blue jersey with white or blue pants. Both versions of the pans have orange stripe outlined in blue or white along sides. In honor of NFL 75th anniversary, they introduced a third uniform in 1994 season, similar to their original from 1920, navy blue with orange stripes.
In 2002 Monday night football game against Green Bay Packers, Bears wore all blue uniform, combining their home navy blue jersey with blue pants for the first time. They lost the game and didn't use that combination until 2006 final game against Packers, which they also lost.
In 2005, they introduced orange jersey, which they use in one home game in season that is close to the Halloween. This jersey is regarded as one of the beast in the league, mainly because of its classic design.
Regardless of color, the most prominent feature of Chicago Bears jersey is the rounded numbers. They are the only team in the league that uses them, opposed to block numbers other teams use.
Bears wear navy blue helmets, with large letter C on the sides. The color of the letter changed during their history, sometimes being white, but in recent years orange C is mainly used.
Official mascot of the Chicago Bears is Staley Da Bear, named in honor of A. E. Staley, founder of the original Bears' franchise in 1919. He made his debut in 2003 season. Before him, Bears had Bearman, which was in fact a season ticket holder Don Wachter, who decided to help the team by cheerleading. He was allowed to run across the field with large Bear flag during the games.

2011 NFL Predictions: Brett Favre Out of Retirement


You know that Favre will be hitting the high school field staying limber. He’s going to be keeping himself in “game shape” and staying in communication with his friends in the NFL. Favre is going to be waiting on the opportunity to find a good excuse to come back to the NFL. Eventually, as much as this pains me to say it, some team is going to need him.

For instance, let’s look at the Washington Redskins.

Quarterback John Beck is banged up right now, and I’m not sure how many people are feeling good about Rex Grossman as a starter.

Let’s just pretend that Beck looked great during the first half of the year and had the Redskins within earshot of a potential Wild Card berth. Would Favre cheap jerseys be the guy to come in and take them the rest of the way?

I’m not sure if he’s the answer. Actually, I’m pretty certain that he won’t be the answer.

I also don’t think the Redskins have a shot of even sniffing the playoffs, but that’s a completely different article.

That being said, I guarantee you that Favre can and will get a desperate team to believe that he will be the solution. He can weasel and worm his way into getting some poor GM to buy into the fact that he’s the guy who can salvage their season.

It’s a scary thought.

Do you think I’m absolutely crazy? Do you think that there is no way this could ever be possible?

what a bad news:Jerry Smith dead at 80

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Jerry Smith, whose 26-year NFL coaching career included a stint as the Denver Broncos interim head coach in 1971, has died at age 80.

Smith had been in declining health since suffering a heart attack four years ago. He died Saturday, said his son, Jeffrey Smith, of Dallas.

Smith coached the offensive and defensive lines for 10 AFL/NFL teams from 1960-85 before serving six seasons as a scout for the Kansas City Chiefs.

He was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 1952 out of the University of Wisconsin and played three seasons for the Niners and one for the Green Bay Packers.

Smith took over the Broncos after Lou Saban resigned in 1971 and went 2-3 before being replaced the following season by John Ralston.

"I think he really wanted the opportunity to take over the team the following year," his son said. "He went 2-3 and was pulling guys off the street and really did a great job.

"But what was always important to him was coaching and teaching. He affected so many people. So, he was fulfilled. He valued assistant coaching as much as he did head coaching."

Smith coached with the Boston Patriots, Buffalo Bills, New Orleans Saints, Houston Oilers, Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Colts, San Diego Chargers and St. Louis Cardinals in addition to his one year in Denver during his 26-year pro coaching career.

He was best known for coaching the "Sack Pack" in Baltimore in the mid-1970s and the Chargers' dominating defensive line for several seasons after that.

Smith is survived by his wife, Shirley, two sons and three daughters. Services are next Monday in his hometown of San Diego.

NBA Playoffs: Heat’s Lose and Dallas Mavericks Win Finally


The Miami Heat were the most talented team in the NBA this past season. They were two fourth-quarter collapses away from sweeping the NBA Finals. None of that matters after they lost Game 6 by a final score of 105-95, and the series by a final score of 4-2.

Miami’s losses in Game 2 and Game 4 can be directly traced back to atrocious late-game execution on both ends of the floor and inexcusable performances from LeBron James. Miami had chances to win Game 5, but that game was ultimately decided by a red-hot Dallas shooting performance that the Heat had little hope of matching.

So what happened in Game 6? The Heat, a team capable of doing anything, failed to do the most basic of basketball tasks throughout the night, and their lack of fundamental execution ultimately ended their season.

Miami looked nervous all game long, and while their offense didn’t go stagnant because of too much one-on-one play, it did often evolve into a game of “hot potato,” with the Heat forcing passes left and right and committing a series of turnovers that ultimately destroyed them. Miami gave the ball up 17 times on Sunday, and those turnovers led to an incredible 27 points for the Mavericks. Miami was supposed to be the best fast-break team in the league, but Dallas punished the Heat in transition all series long thanks to their superior discipline.

Miami’s lack of discipline didn’t only show up when they tossed the ball away. With the pressure on them, the Heat failed to do one of the most fundamental and simple tasks in basketball: make free throws. Miami had Dallas in foul trouble for nearly the duration of the game, but missed a stunning 13 free throws, which turned a 15-free throw disparity into only eight extra points for the Heat.

On both offense and defense, the Heat repeatedly simply gave up possessions that they should have treated like the most important things on the planet. Wade, who had carried the Heat through the first five games of the series, was on tilt in Game six, forcing up inexcusable deep jumpers and trying to attack the basket wildly when the lanes weren’t there for him. LeBron James tried, but he had some inexcusable turnovers of his own, most of which were the result of over-passing or trying to force a drive instead of taking an open jumper.

The Heat also let their tempers flare up when they should have been focused on the task at hand. Directly after an impressive 14-0 run that dug Miami out of a 12-point deficit in the first half, Udonis Haslem allowed DeShawn Stevenson to engage him in an altercation, and Mario Chalmers and Joel Anthony both made things work by coming into the conflict. Dallas had already called a time-out, but the extra delay and Dallas technical free throw that resulted from the fracas sapped all the momentum that the Heat had going for them. A Wade technical on a charging call that didn’t go his way later in the game made things even clearer: Miami was clearly rattled after losing three of its past four games and having fourth-quarter leads in all of them.

The Heat also failed to box out at key times, and while the Mavericks only ended up with one more offensive board than the Heat did, several of those offensive boards came in the fourth quarter, when the Heat desperately needed to get the ball and try and get their offense going.

In the end, what did the Heat in wasn’t a poorly-constructed roster or proper offensive and defensive strategy. It was their mentality. With the Heat’s talent, they should have coldly and methodically carved through the NBA all season long and put Dallas away when they had the chance to win an NBA championship. Instead, they allowed themselves to have a roller coaster of a regular season marked by poor late-game execution and losses to elite teams, gritted through the first three rounds of the playoffs thanks to stifling defense and heroic late-game play, and blew the NBA Finals.

The Heat have the right roster pieces to win the championship next season, assuming it occurs. Spolestra is more than capable as a coach. Their stars have shown that they are capable of playing together on both ends of the floor. But if they want to reach their ultimate goal, they are going to have to tighten things up next season. They can’t forget to play defense on the nights their offense is rolling. They can’t let teams back into games by committing silly fouls. They can’t try to get caught up in macho posturing in an NBA Finals elimination game. They can’t throw the ball away when it matters most. They can’t miss free throws.

In 2011, the Heat showed that they have enough talent to win a champions. In 2012, the Heat will have to show that they have the maturity and discipline to be champions.
