Carson Palmer is training hard to return to the field in time for the Bengals' Sept. 10 opener against Kansas City. Palmer called his knee surgeon, Dr. Lonnie Paulos, "a doctor who likes to hear himself talk and see his name in the newspaper." He also has some strong feeings for one of the Bengals' rivals. "I hate (the Steelers)," Palmer told Sports Illustrated. "I keep thinking about how much, back in college, I hated UCLA. I hate the Steelers more than I hate UCLA. Yeah, it's because I'm jealous and I want what they have. I guess I'm just not that evolved."
