Used to do the icky shuffle when I was a kid. Loved this guy.

[TecmoBengals]

This is awesome. Who Dey! From the shuffle to the griddy.

Chase touchdown dance griddy into a shuffle and I’ll just go ahead and die happy.

Especially if we are up 42-14 over the Packers in the Super Bowl with under a minute to play.

No sarcasm or snark, I promise, but have you not watched a single game this year?

[Nicomo Cosca]

Orange socks and Ickey? The streak is falling Saturday, folks.

On tv but I haven’t been to any games this year. I usually turn in the tv at game time so maybe I miss something? I’ve heard it mentioned here but I don’t really know what all it entails.

The Ruler basically gets to carry a scepter, sit in the throne used for the uniform announcement, and lead the crowd in the Who Dey cheer.  It is just a bit of fun to add to the pre-game activities.  They've used it to honor ex-players, local Olympic medalists, Bengals Fan of the Year, and GMFB and fan of the team GMFB's Kay Adams

Good choice and Ickey knows something about winning in the early rounds of playoffs as well.

First of all, how did you scoop Pally?  

Second, this is a great choice.  My man has been selling supplemental health insurance in the area and is doing quite well.  I hope he brings memories and energy and has a great time.   He was really something in the short while he was playing before the injury.

Glad it's him and not some gimmicky celebrity. I'd like to see more players get a chance to do this and have their day in the sun.

Same and I'm getting ahead of ourselves, but if we play the Steelers it should be Housh with a terrible towel.

[masonbengals fan]

More than deserving. I love it. I remember those days.

Yeah me too. I hope he has a great time Saturday and as some mentioned, Chase mixes his dance into the shuffle. What a tribute that would be.

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

Just need Mixon to do the Shuffle when he scores. That'd be doing it right.
