Alright, I'm sure that you think I'm about to break some unbelievable story on a trade of Chad Johnson, or some other blockbuster deal.  If you thought that, you haven't lived in Cincinnati and been a Bengals fan long enough.  Mike Brown and the Crew don't roll that way.

No.  While the rest of the Striped Nation are still talking about Chad's antics, or the upcoming April draft, or how to fix the defense, the organization goes and makes an under-the-radar move yesterday.  A move that didn't even need a press conference to announce.  They merely sent a press release from the PR department. 

They signed P Danny Baugher.  Thank God.  Our long, local nightmare is over.  I can rest easy now knowing that we have a punter to replace Kyle Larson in case he leaves via free agency (he's an unrestricted free agent).

It's just the type of move that a Bill Belicheck coached Patriots team would make.  Remember several seasons ago when they jettisoned periennial Super Bowl hero Adam Vinatieri because they knew they could go and get a guy like Stephen Gostowski from the lower end of the draft?  That's right.  You don't ever, under any circumstances, pay for kicking.  It's that type of shrewd thinking that is going to bring the Lombardi trophy to the Queen City soon.

Oh, by the way.  Did I mention that Baugher was cut from the Bengals three seasons ago, hooked on with the Pats scout team, got cut from that, and was completely out of football all of last season?  Oh well.  If you can't beat 'em, rip former players off their scout team, I suppose.

Wow. Way to make a splash Bengals.
