I consider the Bengals' turnaround from 4-11-1 in 2008 to second place in the AFC so far this season to be one of the biggest surprises of 2009.  Did this turnaround come out of left field for Bengals fans or were expectations for the team to be ...

The bad news is that Domata Peko picked them up on Friday. Peko's sprained medial collateral ligament forced him onto crutches Friday morning. He politely declined comment, fueling speculation, but he said it wasn't a season-ending problem and wants head coach Marvin Lewis to address it. That could mean some type of arthroscopic surgery, but Lewis won't be available until after Friday morning's prac...
