They lost Rex Burkhead, who befriended a young cancer patient at Nebraska, and to this day is extremely active in a charity founded by the kids' parents and runs fundraisers in Nebraska and Texas to benefit it (full disclosure- Rex's parents and both sets of grandparents are from Winchester, and are first class people, so I acknowledge my bias here).
They replaced him with the aforementioned woman beater.
At that point, I washed my hands of them. They're a decrepit franchise, run by fools, who have no hope of any real success with the Brown family calling the shots. I wish they would have moved to LA instead of the Rams.
I never understood why Anth was a Reds fan, but hated the Bengals. Turns out he was right all along.
