Report: OL Steinbach latest Bengal to run into trouble

August 8, 2006

CINCINNATI (Ticker) - Judas Priest once made a song entitled "Breaking The Law." The Cincinnati Bengals have become quite familiar with that tune.

WCPO.com reported Monday that Bengals offensive lineman Eric Steinbach was arrested over the weekend.

According to the report, Steinbach was charged with operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol and that he ignored a "No Wake Zone" area.

The report also said Steinbach failed four out of five field sobriety tests. He will be arraigned Tuesday morning in Campbell County court.

A left guard, Steinbach started all 16 games last season and was a first alternate to the Pro Bowl.

Steinbach is the fifth Cincinnati player to be charged with breaking the law since the end of last season.

Wide receiver Chris Henry has been arrested four times since December. He is set to stand trial later this month on a gun charge in Orlando, Florida.

Draft picks Frostee Rucker and A.J. Nicholson had been arrested before signing - Rucker for spousal battery and Nicholson for burglary and grand theft.

Matthias Askew was charged with resisting arrest last month. Police had to use a stun gun to subdue the 6-5, 302-pound defensive tackle.

Middle linebacker Odell Thurman, a second-round pick last season, also is suspended for the first four regular-season games for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

Apparently the Bengals will have to forfeit their first game due players being inju...err inmates.

Some random poster "broke" the story on this Bengals board saying they knew about the arrest before it ever reached the media... and all the Bengals fans called that person a troll and made jokes, and ended up with egg all over their face. Pretty hilarious.

Oh, for God's sake.

This is going to progress until the United States is facing a literal bengal epidemic, with women, children and men of all kinds mauled to death.

ROFL

Marvin Lewis and his staff sure do ignore the type of character of the players they choose to have on their team. Either that, or his scouting department blows. I think they are all responsible for it, not just the players that are committing these stupid infractions. The coaches and staff need to evaluate better, IMO.

Steinbach went to Iowa......I'm sure a few people who post on this board will have some comments on the kind of guy he is.

whats with all the player arrests in Cinci? Are they trying to be like the raiders?

So he failed four out of five field sobriety tests, eh? I wonder which one he passed...

Cruising around on a lake drinking a beer? Oh the horror. I've never done that before. Jeeeeezus

Yep.

Sweet baby Jesus. These guys are making the 1998 Chiefs look like a bunch of Choir Boys.....

Sounds like he had more than one.

This Bengals situation is looking pretty comical. We're the luckiest team in the league to be playing them in week 1.

Least they already wear orange ROFL

Or the Chiefs in last years training camp.

Yep, me neither. What a shame.



However, ignoring a no wake zone should not be overlooked.
