Nightmare Clients of the Week

Nightmare Clients for the Week of January 21st-January 28th

1. Al Unser Jr., two-time Indy 500 winner, has been charged with DUI. This is probably the last thing that I would expect from a motor racing professional [Two-time Indy winner Unser Jr. charged with DUI].

2. Jonathan Joseph of the Cincinnati Bengals became the ninth Cinci player arrested in as many months after being charged with possession of marijuana. This should teach players to not stash their Mary Jane in Super Bowl backpacks when their team does not even make the playoffs [Bengals’ Joseph charged with marijuana possession].

3. Chris Henry of the Cincinnati Bengals will serve 2 days in jail for allowing minors to drink in his hotel room. After being arrested 3 times prior to this incident, this will be the first time that Henry actually serves any jail time [WR Henry jailed for two days].

The Bengals need to start listening to their leader, Carson Palmer. He is quoted as saying, “If it doesn’t stop, we’re not going to have any fans left, and I don’t blame them. It’s ridiculous.” I joke about it on this website, but it really is a sad fact that so many members of a single organization cannot keep their names out of the news for all the wrong reasons.
