I'm not sure I would even call him a Grade A asshole. He played for the Bengals from 1992-1999 and their record was 40-88 during that time. The guy just got tired of being a perennial loser. I'd ***** too if I won 40 games in 8 years.

There was a book written some years ago on the Legends of the Bengals.  The writer put Pickens in the book and quoted Boomer saying that he wouldn't have put Pickens in the list because of his attitude.  There was a story of a FA dlineman (Buckner I think) that signed with the Bengals for 1 year (97 I think so this was after the 8-8 season where things looked promising).  Pickens told him that if he knew he was going to sign with the Bengals, he would have told him not to.  So yeah, he was a Grade A asshole.
