Cincinnati Bengals Owner and Mr. Magoo-like executive Mike Brown, who still purports to have the best interests of Bengals fans at heart, has turned into this.  That’s right, Mike Brown won’t let Carson Palmer break up with the Bengals, just like he won’t let the Bengals break up with his family, and hire some real football minds to run it.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen pulled his head out of Chris Berman’s rectum long enough yesterday to report that Carson Palmer has asked for a trade out of Cincinnati, the team that drafted him first overall in 2003, the same year that Marvin Lewis was brought over from the Baltimore Ravens to coach the team. 

Check-down, or throw this into triple coverage ESPN:

Palmer has become the object of fan frustration in the past two years and sources said he has grown frustrated with the team’s inconsistencies. The Bengals finished 4-12 in 2010.

Sources familiar with Palmer’s plan and mindset said he is financially secure for the rest of his life and willing to follow through and retire.

Somewhere, Jake Plummer is standing up and doing a church-fast clap.  Ever since having a good season in 2005, Palmer has done the best impression of Rex Grossman that the league has ever seen. 

Palmer had 26 TD this season, but he also threw 20 INTs.  With Chad Ochocinco doing everything he can to stir the pot in Cincinnati we can still be fairly certain that both players will be wearing the worst looking NFL jerseys in league history when football resumes in 2013.              

On a side note, the Bengals are what makes football both exhilarating and depressing. Unfortunately for Bengals fans, year in and year out it’s a lock that they are going to absorb more punishment then Marcellus Wallace (no video available, you’re welcome).
