We've had some pretty nasty haters through the years...but who is the most filthiest, foulest, nastiest hater out there? You can use any criteria you want. Longevity. Quality of hate. Platform. Etc.
So who wins the player hater's ball?
Candidates:
Dan Fouts
This man has been hating us since 1982. Still resents losing the Freezer Bowl, and has dedicated his life to taking shots as an announcer. A true OG.
Rodney Harrison
He has no ties to the Bengals or reasons to hate, but that's never stopped him. Always picks against us and takes shots at the organization, while making sure everyone knows he once played for the Patriots.
Mike Florio
Born and raised in Steelers country, practiced law in Pittsburgh, and also had a years-long beef with Marvin Lewis after Marvin questioned Florio's alma-mater after they produced Chris Henry and Pacman. Recent love affair with Joe Burrow aside, this man has spent plenty of time bashing the Bengals and gushing over the Steelers.
Bart Scott
Our most recent addition to the ball, Bart made up for lost time with his "red dot" tirade. Truly a legendary hater moment.
Gregg Rosenthal
A Florio disciple, Gregg popularized "The Dalton Line", which could've easily been used on Jay Cutler, Alex Smith, Teddy Bridgewater, Derek Carr or any other solid-not-great QB. He also ranked Burrow 26th to start this season, behind a host of bad QB's, and in general rarely has anything nice to say when he has a choice.

You can also vote "other" and add your favorite hater to the list.
