Cornerback Johnathan Joseph left the Cincinnati Bengals last season after five seasons with the team and signed a five-year, $48.75 million contract that included $23.5 million in guaranteed money with the Houston Texans. In his first season in Houston, Joseph had four interceptions, earned Pro Bowl honors for the first time, and made note of several differences between the two organizations.

"The first thing about Houston is it's an organization run from a different perspective," Joseph told Barry Byers of The Herald in a Sunday Q&A. "In Cincy, the team lives off money it earns from football. Houston's owner has other business interests and he controls the money."

nothing against the texans, but it's not like Joseph is setting the bar very high comparing them to the bungles

Carson Palmer knew that the Bungholes were trash and he would rather sit out that drive himself crazy playing for a low rent organization.

My thing is this. He makes comments about getting deodorant and having to have roommates on away games.

If he is making X million dollars, why the hell would he need for the team to buy him deodorant? Also, can he not afford to pay a few hundred dollars for his OWN hotel room?

I understand what he's saying in regards to the Bengals being cheap but if I were stuck in bengal land and making multi-million dollars per year, I'd pay for my own hotel rooms among other things.
