GIFT OF GIVING: One of the reasons the offensive line loves quarterback Carson Palmer is that he has taken the lead of Jon Kitna and the advice of Boomer Esiason and taken good care of them. Palmer must have figured they got enough welts and nicks and bruises and strains to keep him out of the hot tub with a club-low 21 sacks (he only took 19 of them) as they finished second in the NFL in allowing sacks per pass behind the Colts.
Right guard Bobbie Williams didn’t want to divulge the gift, but he also couldn’t stop talking about it.
“Nice. Very nice,” Williams said. “Had to be (worth) five figures. No, it’s not a car, but that’s not a bad idea.”
Palmer got each of his linemen a hot tub, and if he does say so himself, “They’re great. What they do for sore muscles is tremendous.
”They’re the guys that don’t get the recognition. But it’s obvious they’re a big reason, if not the biggest reason, we win and have success as an offense.”
“Oh yes,” Williams said again. “Very nice.”
Class act that guy... Now when did I turn this blog into a football review spot?
