It kills me how much hate there is for Chad. He was easily the best player on our 2005 and 2009 playoff teams. He was a primary reason for our return to relevance and he helped lift a few blackouts. He's shown nothing but love towards Bengals fans. I wonder if fans of other NFL teams hate on their former greats as much as our fans do? The funny thing is, Chad reminds me a lot of Brandon Phillips and while the national media is critical of him, Reds fans love that dude.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
