How the beyond ignorant narrative that the bengals are the dirtiest team became so popular and believable I'll never understand. Bunch of gullible, moronic sports fans out there 

You'll get no argument from me on that....but....

.....this is true, and I'd add in Pacman Jones as well.

Yet of course, players like Joey Porter, James Harrison, Hines Ward, Mike Mitchell, all were/are lauded as "tough, hard-nosed football players" when in reality they made dirty hits as often as they could. 

The bias and ignorance makes me sick. I'd blame the media, but it's the people that are eating this shit up. Like I said, a bunch of brain dead morons out there. Sadly, they seem to be the non-silent majority 

You're exactly right on all accounts.  Somehow, I think some of it still goes back to the days of Thurman and Henry too.....sad as that is.
