Remember all those reports about Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis leaving the franchise when the season was over? About that. He, ugh, is saying those reports are all hogwash.
From the desk of Jim Owczarski of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Marvin Lewis was asked after team team's loss to the Minnesota Vikings if the report was accurate.
“No,” he said. “It’s the same report you’ve been reporting on all season. There’s nothing changed since August. It’s just the speculation that people keep throwing out there.
When asked again about the reports, Lewis was less than thrilled about it.

“We’re wasting time,” Lewis said. “That’s all. And it affects people around you which is unfortunate. I understand that’s what drives media. But people just throw things out; they throw things out Monday night and everybody has to respond and everybody has to be first and they don’t care if they’re accurate necessarily. They want to be first.”
He's going the fake news bit, which might be accurate in his case, but time will obviously tell.
Oddly enough, Lewis told Ian Rapoport of NFL Media that becoming a general manager is “something I would listen to.” A weird thing to open up about if he has no plans on leaving the coaching fraternity.
