Mimo 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Andy Furman of 700 WLW “The Big One” guaranteed that Odell Thurman will not play this year on Sports of All Sorts with John Popovich last night. He said he had information from someone close to Thurman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pimptastic69 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Profootballtalk.com is of the same opinion. THURMAN DONE WITH FOOTBALL? As a torrent of rumor and innuendo continues to swirl around Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman, we're getting the distinct impression that the kid might never play football again. At a bare minimum, he's not likely (in our opinion) to play this season. Thurman already has been suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the substance abuse policy, and based on some of the things we've heard we think the penalty could have been more severe. Because the obligation to submit to testing continues, it still could be. And as further evidence to support our belief that coach Marvin Lewis is reaching (or beyond) the breaking point regarding the actions -- and ensuing scrutiny of -- his in-house ###### patrol, Lewis offered a string of contradictory sound bites on Saturday when asked about the failure of Thurman to report for training camp. "It's a non-factor. We expect him here. If you want to be in charge of him you're welcome,” Lewis said. “He's dealing with some things with his family and they'd asked if he was allowed to do this. There's no pressing need for him to be here." http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm At first I thought is was drug rehab, but now I think his mama says he can't play foosball no more.

shovelheadt 72 Posted July 31, 2006 He's done. IMO, he's addicted to some big time sh*t like crack or meth. There's also rumors floating around that his weight is down to 180. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man, Odell finally made the Bengals defense fun to watch last year. Where have you heard these rumors? I hope they aren't true. Ever since I moved down to Louisville, Bengals coverage has gone down to ZERO.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q.Lazzarus 0 Posted July 31, 2006 I've heard the same thing. He's whacked out on Meth. Heard he has failed repeated tests, and is facing a lifetime ban. What a focking waste of talent. This kid had it all laid out for him. Now he's a focking junkie. It makes me sick to my stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
