Our Idiot of the Week

According to James Walker of ESPN, Carson Palmer is claiming he will never play for the Bengals again.

Why does this make him an idiot? Two reasons (at least):

1- The organization has lavished him with nearly every one of the eighty million dollars he still has in the bank. [USC boosters supplied the rest. I'm kidding. I think.] Treat the organization with some class.

2- This destroys a lot of his trade value. Assuming the Bengals hold strong with their demand of receiving a fair haul, this makes it harder for the team to trade him.

Carson - I don't have a big problem with you asking for a trade, but keep your mouth shut if you want out that badly.
