Where-Da-Party-At Now?

In a move that probably won't shock any Bengals fans, Local 12 reports that Shayne "Where-da-party-at?" Graham will not be resigned for the 2010 football season.  I'm pretty sure Cincinnati would have revolted if he had been resigned.

Graham notoriously missed two easy field goals in their playoff loss to the Jets.  Had either of these kicks gone through the uprights the Bengals could certainly have secured a tie and forced overtime in the game.

Despite being the most accurate overall kicker in Bengals history, Graham had developed a reputation for missing clutch kicks.   One easy miss at the end of a game in week 17 of the 2006 season memorably kept them out of the playoffs that year.

The problem really is that Shayne was being paid a lot.  Almost $2.5 million last year actually.  So even if Cincinnati's next kicker is statistically worse, here's hoping he can make them when they really count.  And that the money Mike Brown saves can be spent on a quality skill position player.

So the next time Dank Game asks "Where-da-party-at?" let's hope is answer is Buffalo, Oakland or some other NFL hellhole.
