Why do the Bengals have so many guys with the same name? Last year was all those guys named Tyler. The year before that was all those guys named AJ. This year there's going to be way too many guys named Jake.

Jeeez..and here I was thinking this thread was going to be about the Chinese calendar.. I'm so disappointed. 
Forget calendar..Zodiac is more accurate and it's the year of the rooster for those keeping score.. 
Yes, I know.. This is important stuff and nobody should ever have to go through life not knowing which 'year of' it is ..
Last year was the year of the monkey.. I think that was quite fitting.

Doug "The Red Rooster" Rader?

Grrr used to collect cards. I do remember another rooster, driven me nuts. Have to google that. You remember Oil Can Boyd, or Catfish Hunter. Those were my favorites.

I loved Brad "The Animal" Lesley. Anybody remember his Red's stint besides me? Four years younger than me, and sadly already gone.
