Now that cornerback Johnathan Joseph has been nabbed for marijuana possession, a lot of Cincinatti Bengals players have been publicly expressing their outrage over the continued tendency of their teammates to get arrested. The gist of their comments is "Come ONNNNNNN, you guys. UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH, QUIT IT, SERIOUSLY!" but I'll reprint some anyway:

"Defensive tackle John Thornton and other Bengals told the Cincinnati Enquirer that the arrests are dragging the team down. Everyone in the locker room is affected, he said.

"Willie [Anderson], Carson [Palmer], John Thornton, the guys who do things right, have been forced to answer for the guys who decided not to do the right thing," linebacker Brian Simmons told the newspaper. "The perception of the team across the country is bad. It's as if it's going around like the plague."

"If it doesn't stop, we're not going to have any fans left, and I don't blame them. It's ridiculous," Palmer said in comments posted on the team web site."

OMGSports correspondants just didn't have the heart to inform Palmer in person of the reports that Bengals receiver Chad Johnson was recently arrested for killing and eating several orphan babies. It didn't seem like the right time, you know?
