I understood some anger when he left, because his last couple years were tumultuous...but it's been 6 years. Most fanbases do the classy thing and eventually forgive how it ended and remember their greats for what they accomplished. Heck, Favre pissed Packer fans off with his constant "will he or won't he" act, then he committed the cardinal sin of suiting up for the Vikes.
Packer fans burned his jersey and grew to loathe Favre...but eventually the fans did the classy thing and forgave Favre so they could recognize his accomplishments. Not Bengals fans though, right? I guess some of us will go to our graves hating a great football player because he danced and rode a bull. To each his own I guess.
And if you won't take my word for it, maybe you'll take AJ Green's? AJ has mass respect for Chad and said "Chad paved the way" for this current team.
Favre even took shots at the Packers and Rogers for a couple of years after he retired. Chad has always tried to endear himself to the Bengals franchise. It's obvious he still follows and actively roots for the Bengals. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but it's silly to hate on Chad. I miss rooting for that clown.
I also like how people hate Corey Dillon for tossing his jersey and pads into the crowd at the end of 2003. He knew he was done here, and yes he has a crusty personality, but they're called souvenirs people.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
