Who should get the honor of being the Ruler of the Jungle for the playoff game?
I went through a lot of people. I first thought maybe Mike Brown deserved it. He's old and should get to celebrate the success. Then I thought of Luke Fickell. It would be a great chance to celebrate UC's great season.
I also thought about ex players like Issac Curtis, Reggie Williams, Bob Trumpy, or David Fulcher.
Then, in almost an evil way thought, why not give it to Marvin Lewis but decided that would kind of be mean.
Boomer or Collinsworth would be great choices but they have to work that weekend.
Then I arrived at who I think is the perfect choice. The team is 4-0 when an OL was Ruler of the Jungle (5-0 when you add Bengal Jim and his RT high school experience). Who has been associated with the Bengals for over 40 years and has seen it all...the good, the bad, and the very ugly? Who else in this city bleeds as much orange as he does? Who else do we turn to when we need a dose of unabashed homerism?
The next Ruler of the Jungle should be none other than Dave Lapham
what do you think?
All hopes turn to next year

Is there a list of everyone that’s already done it? I was going to say it should be JB, but google tells me he already has.

Dave was my choice too! Great minds. Need him on radio though.
Boomer would be cool too, maybe they could find a way to make it work. CBS might like some insider footage like that if they were involved and then us watching at home could get to see some of it.
Or Chad. Don’t care if he already did it. You can’t have too much Chad!

I'm such a hater but I can't stand Lapham.
With that being said, I think it would be cool for him to do. He's earned it.
Munoz would also be a great choice.

I'd be good with Dave or Chad. Might lean a little more toward Chad.

Go with a great triumvirate of Chad, Kay, and Willie as the hopeful future HoF.

If we are going to go OL that we have not had already i think we should go with the last center who was a beast. None other than Richie Braham. Hard working lunch pail kind of guy.

Lap, Boomer and everyone else in the media have jobs that require them to be busy. I'd love to see Lap or Boomer though, and I guess they could have a guy fill in with Hoard for the radio broadcast. There's many they could get though... Krumrie, Breech, Montoya, Munoz, TJ, etc.

I'd say JB, Domata Peko, or Sam Wyche's family.

Please not Marvin because I have an image of Marvin getting up and saying about Zac, "He STOLE my job! And he won't win a playoff game either you gullible suckers! "
I know he would never do that, but it would be almost Bengalike in an oddly perverse kind of way..
