Miami DolphinsThe New Bengals? Not Yet

With the arrest of Miami wide receiver Chris Chambers this past weekend, some might start to wonder if the Dolphins have evolved into Bengals over the off season. Chambers, a 2005 pro bowler and star of, ahem, my fantasy team, was picked up in North Carolina for driving while impaired, reckless driving, and speeding on July 14th. With the arrest, Chambers is now the third Dolphin to be taken into custody this year. If eight more Dolphins find themselves behind bars, they will pass the Cincinnati Bengals and lead the league in most (jail) yards gained.

Besides Chambers, Fred Evans, a defensive tackle with Miami, was arrested on June 23 for trespassing, resisting arrest with violence, disorderly conduct, and battery on a police officer. Joey Porter, the Steeler turned Dolphin, was arrested for a March conflict where he was accused of punching Levi Jones, an offensive lineman for the - go figure - Cincinnati Bengal. Porter was eventually charged with a misdemeanor.

So, there you have itare the Dolphins taking a page from the Bengals and - in lieu of evading sacks and tackles - focusing their time on evading the law? Well, not exactly.

To being with, this is a first offense for Chambers: before Saturday, his professional record was completely clean. He also - according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel - passed a breathalyzer test while at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police station. While he certainly shouldn't have been doing any kind of drinking and driving, he can chalk his arrest up to a mistakeand NEVER do it again.

Fred Evans offense, a violent crime, wasn't as benign, and this wasn't overlooked by the Dolphin's coaching staff. In the aftermath of his arrest, Evans found himself unemployed: Miami let him go. Cam Cameron, the head coach, released a statement saying, "We will not condone this type of behavior. I assure everyone it will be dealt with seriously." And seriously dealt with it was. Good for Cam for standing by his word, and his morals.

Joey Porter's arrest for hitting Levi Jones makes me think that neither party was innocent. When you have football players, packed with testosterone, and add the element of alcohol, these things will happen. Still, Porter is a bit of wild card and someone Cameron should keep an eye on. Porter has not only spat out accusations of cheating, (jokingly?) said he was going to give George Bush a piece of his mind, uttered homosexual slurs, and been voted one of the NFL's dirtiest players, but he also owned two dogs who killed his neighbors miniature horse. How, exactly, does that kind of thing happen?

Nonetheless, for now you can chalk Porter up to a talented player with a lot of passion (if not too much) who likes to run his mouth, and sometimes puts his foot in it. He's hardly the first NFL player to get in a fist fight and he won't be the last. Porter and Chamber don't quite deserve to be labeled Bengals just yet. As for Evans, well maybe Cincinnati has an opening.

Having a Threesome Can Be Benefitial To Your Relationship

You might wonder... Are there any benefits of enjoying threesome once in a while?

Oh YES there are!

Lets take a look at the three major benefits of experiencing a more open sex life:

1. You cant cheat and the need to cheat diminishes
2. Your chances of remaining in a quality relationship drastically improve
3. You make more effort to stay physically in shape

1. You cant cheat and the need to cheat diminishes

Most monogamous couples choose to be 'monogamist' not because they want to, but because they dont know any better. Many of them get married with the best of their intentions to remain faithful, however, after a few years of being together the opportunity arises and suddenly they cheat on their wife or husband. Why do you think people cheat? Because theyre looking for something that they cant find anymore in their steady partners: VARIETY.

The thought to have sex with only one person for the rest of our lives scares the hell out of most of people; especially guys! Whether we like to admit it or not; the truth is that traditional couples 'cheat' all the time. If were good enough at hiding our 'affairs', the secret goes with us to the grave. Some cheaters however are caught in the act. Unfortunately cheating on your partner; caught or not, destroys that precious bond that you have together.

The moment you cheat, you have subconsciously damaged the relationship. Interesting enough amongst sexually liberated couples 'cheating' is nearly non-existing. Why? Because they play together so they can have the best of both worlds: familiarity and variety. Playing brings them together, not apart as in 'cheating.'

2. Your chances of remaining in a quality relationship drastically improve

Because you both get to play with other people your relationship gives you the best of both worlds: variety and familiarity. This gives you a huge advantage to keeping a long-lasting quality relationship over most monogamous couples.

3. You make more effort to stay physically in shape

Because youre hunting for threesome candidate (s) you remain in the Dating Scene. Most traditional couples end the honey moon phase in their relationship pretty early and reality settles in. Theyre living together, working hard, start a family, trying to keep up with their social and family life. This seriously affects their sex life; familiarity sinks in and before they know it they put on weight and stop taking care of their physical appearance having a sexually open, responsible non-monogamist relationship with your partner keeps you young.

Flirting raises your self-esteem and gives you an incentive to remain fit and attractive. Playing Couples , as they are known in the swinging scene, have a tendency to take care of their physical appearance. They want to be attractive not only for themselves but also for others.
