Marvin Lewis Going Or Staying?

ArtrellHawkins — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 17:46:02 +0000

It appears that Marvin Lewis and the Cincinnati Bengals may be close to reaching an agreement. Sources close to the situation tell me that Marvin has been in and out of meetings with Mike Brown(owner) all morning long. That could only mean that negotiations are heating up. ESPN’s Adam Shefter reported this morning that a deal for the Coach to stay was likely, and that a decision will be made by Coach Lewis within the next 24 hours. Weather that is true or not is anyones guess. What I can tell you is that some headway has been made between the team and Coach, which I believe points towards Marvin staying put. I can also tell you that Marvin has not yet said anything, regarding his future, to anyone inside the building. What’s your opinion? Vote right here and right now!!

R.I.P Batman

ArtrellHawkins — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 00:19:07 +0000

Earlier today ESPN reported that T.O and the Bengals will officially part ways at seasons end. Not exactly shocking news considering the teams record(3-11) and the damaging remarks he made about the owners and coaches last weeek.

Will this guy ever learn? Based on his past transgressions, the answer to that question is a resounding, NO! You would think after receiving very little interest by teams at the start of the season due to his me-first reputation, he would just keep his mouth shut, right? Wrong! The guy just can’t help himself. He still views himself as a marque player that has license to do and say whatever he feels. Problem with that is teams don’t feel the same. For example, he was the Bengals second choice behind Antonio Bryant. So how marque is he really? Personally, I think we have seen the last of T.O aka “Batman”. If you’re an older player in the NFL your last stops are teams like the Bills, Bengals,Lions etc…because they are willing to try anything and will put up with talented character-questionable players to turn the corner. But when you screw it up with those teams nobody else will touch you.

Former Bengal, Artrell Hawkins, motivates students

ArtrellHawkins — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 04:23:54 +0000

Artrell Hawkins told students at Cheviot Elementary School he expects them to come up with some great ideas for giving back to their community.

The former University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Bengals defensive back, who now works in sports broadcasting, stopped by the school Monday, Sept. 27, to speak to a group of about 100 seventh- and eighth-graders about making good life decisions and following their passions.

Hawkins graduated from the UC and was selected by the Bengals in the second round of the 1998 NFL draft. He played six seasons with the Bengals, and then played for the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots before retiring with the New York Jets in 2008.

He shared his life story with the students, telling them a person’s choices, decisions and consequences define them.
