Carson Palmer won't lapse into cliches and jock-talk in advance of Sunday night's clash with the Cincinnati organization that shipped him to the Oakland Raiders after a 2011 staredown with Bengals owner Mike Brown.
"It's not just another game," Palmer said Wednesday, via Paul Dehner of the Cincinnati Enquirer. "I'm not going to bore you with that. There is definitely a lot on this one for me in particular."
Palmer acknowledged to NFL Media columnist Michael Silver in September that he still holds ill feelings about the situation in which the disenfranchised quarterback walked away from football to force his way out of Cincinnati.
