Tuck those tits in, sweetie!

I had a bad feeling about the Bengals' Andre Smith as soon as I saw him wobbling through the 40 at the combine. This screencap of it does his wavemotion no justice whatsoever. The only thing that would've improved it would be EU performing "Da Butt" alongside the cones. It's not like he wouldn't have given them time to do the whole thing AND an encore.

And so, within 48 hours of ending his monthlong holdout for more dough -- y'know, because he's so awesome -- he...
...injured himself today in, wait for it… a non-contact drill. A fractured foot is the diagnosis.

The Bengals have already attempted to put a positive spin on the news. He’ll be out “a few weeks” by Marvin Lewis’ press statement. It’s a mild injury they say and it doesn’t require surgery. He’ll get an opportunity to observe, catch up on the playbook, and watch tape. The team will be able to use the full two-week roster exemption afforded them to develop other players. Anthony Collins was already entrenched as the starter anyway.
That thud you just heard is probably Carson Palmer, practicing getting sacked some more.
