"The Cincinnati Bengals long have been a haven for misfits, players of questionable character and those who run afoul of the law. So, perhaps it should come as no surprise that the Bengals have been linked to Raiders cast-off quarterback JaMarcus Russell.

We must caution you that the source of this information is, um, a tad shaky and questionable. The news comes from Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, the player who doesn't even realize that his changed last name means "eight five" and not eighty five, his jersey number.

"Jamarcus Russel, you on twitter, if not its cool ill see you in #minicamp , ooopsss, did I just leak that info #ocnn," Ochocinco tweeted, twittered or something along those social networking lines.

Translation: "JaMarcus Russell, you on Twitter? If not, it's cool. I'll see you in mini camp. Oops, did I just leak that info?""
