Yeah... I googled him. He wasn't exactly hangin' with Freddie Solomon, and smoking in the weight room. I can't believe I have zero recollection of him.

Well... I may have a new all time favorite former Bengal. Who do I blame for his lack of success here? I'm sure someone was holding him back.

Also fairly certain he was puffing on Newports not Marlboros.

These questions are just going to be off of the top of my head just to keep it to where I think they're not impossible and to save me from a bunch of research.  I'm going to try to word some of them in a way that isn't easily googleable (not sure if this is a word).  Some of course you will be able to look up, or research but let's all try to abide by the honor system; no cheating.

Feel free to pose questions of your own.

Man where was the questions from when we was good. I guess maybe a few of those 90's questions was from our Super Bowl team, but the only person I know from that team is Boomer, Ickey and Anthony Munoz.

Am I the only idiot on here that didn't know that Mike Brown played QB at the college level?

No I had no clue. But as I miserably failed the quiz I'm not sure how much comfort that is to you.

I got 15 or so correct,  but I didn't know about Mike playing QB in college until I joined the boards. A lot of stuff gets discussed on here.
