NFL QB upsets Buckeyes fans
Posted: Wednesday July 23, 2008 06:32AM ET
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is trying to explain remarks that have gotten him in big trouble with Buckeyes fans. USC's 2002 Heisman Trophy winner told Los Angeles radio station KLAC last week that it drives him crazy to hear all the talk about Ohio State when he's in Cincinnati. He said he can't wait until Sept. 13 when Ohio State plays Southern Cal, and he hopes the Buckeyes "get an old fashioned Pac-10 butt-whipping." Palmer has issued a statement saying his comments were intended mainly for a California audience and that he "got a little fired up, as all good fans will do." He also said he respects the Buckeyes and knows their fans are passionate. He said he's just looking forward to a big game and his comments were all in the good fun of a college rivalry.

....and he'll get to see OSU return the favor the next year in Columbus. Might have been funny then but it was quite a stupid thing to say. The way the Bengals play, he needs all the fan support he can find.

Report Offensive CommentAbsolutely DEVO.....when I heard it, I laughed my a-s-s off. Who knows, maybe this is the beginning of his campaign to get out of Cincy. I can't wait to see that game either.....it will be fun to watch.

Report Offensive CommentThis goes to show just how STUPID sports fans are. Of course he's gonna root for his old college team. Anyone taking offense to that is a moron and needs to get a life.

Report Offensive CommentOh gee, what did people think, he was going to lavish praise on "thee bucknut university?". Some bucks fans are believing all the hype concerning their team this year. They are not a automatic pick for the Championship Game as some believe. September will tell the tale if the Bucks get an other shot or not. In the mean time, they Bucks best concentrate on winning the Big-Ten first, if not, it could be a long season for the Buck-nuts.

Report Offensive CommentI think the biggest problem is the blatent slap to the face for the bengals fans that also root for tOSU. Before he talks about anyone else being overrated, he might want to look at his own career. The success of a team always starts with the QB!!!

Report Offensive CommentBuckeye fans are the biggest CRYBABIES.....
The most overrated team in the history of college football
LSUDYNASTY | 07/23/08, 09:10 AM
Report Offensive CommentYeah i had no problem with it, if the tables were turned all Buckeye fans would want one of their former players to say the exact same thing.
And for the record there actually good OSU fans around as well, not just the bumbling idiots that unfortunately give the school a bad name on occassion....

Right can't hang with the SEC. So they beat Mich., and then Mich played in a bowl game and beat who? Florida?
