NFL Week 1

The Batman and Robin of NFL finally come together to play side by side. The Ocho Uno and Ocho Cinco have now been designed to play together and make the Cincinnati Bengals on top. The known to be dancer-and-dater in a reality show, Chad Johnson, now known as Chad Ochocinco (#85) made a contract with the Bengals and one day later, his very good friend, Terrell Owens (T.O.) also signed a $2million base salary contract with the same team plus $2million dollar as incentives.

Owen, in his Twitter account, said “Ocho Uno is coming to town!! Hey Robin, Batman will b there soon!” He considers himself the Batman, and Chad as Robin.

Cincinnati Bengals owner, Mike Brown, is confident enough to have the two best buds to play for this season. He expects that the two will do great things with Carson. Although rumours have gone out to the public of Owen’s will be a lot of baggage in transferring to the Bengals because of his history in undercutting his quarterbacks, although T.O. showed a good behaviour in last season on Buffalo. Brown really doesn’t mind at all. As an orphanage team he do has a history of providing chances for those players who have caused trouble and allowing them to continue with their career in the Bengals.

Now, on the new player listing of the Bengals, can they still be on the 26th rank on the NFL’s passing game? I bet not! With Batman and Robin on the list and more practice, they will likely to be on top of the list. Bettors will now trust them as they can now cover the spread and totals and will allow bettors to make them money by betting. Anybody wants to wager? On their game with the Patriots, can this tandem work as expected?

Traditionally, new football players are asked to do something to serve the team. Carrying the water, other players’ pads etc. Most of the time, this is followed by the rookies. However, Dallas Cowboys’ rookie Dez Bryant, a former Oklahoma State star, opts not to follow the tradition. In the Cowboys’ morning Sunday session, wideout Roy Williams handed his pads over to Bryant but the latter opt not to carry it. Veteran players traditionally hand their pads to a rookie after a practice.

The thing that happened in that morning session caught football followers attention on Bryant’s attitude. They asked the rookie on his stand about what happened and he diligently answered the queries. He said he’s in the training camp to catch passes and not to carry somebody else’s pads after practice. Moreover, he said that he feels like he was drafted to play football, not carry another player’s pads. He stated that if he was a free agent, it will still be the same thing.

Williams was also interviewed regarding what happened. He shared his rookie experience with the Detroit Lions and did carry the pads and paid for the meals. He also stressed that no matter if one is the No. 1 pick or the 7,000th pick, one should still have to do something when still a rookie. However, Williams was confident that he was not insulted at all; instead he stated that “Controversy is what everybody loves, try to pin him against me, me against him, and it’s not going to work.”

Can the rookie’s attitude affect their team play and personal relationship? Can it also be possible to affect the performance of the Dallas Cowboys on their game with the Cincinnati Bengals on the 8th of August and will not be enough to cover the spread and totals set by the sportsbook? Can the sports bettor still trust the wideout’s performance when the rookie is also inside the field? Let us all find out after the match.
