The thing with TKO was it just wasn't w/ the Bengals.

Same thing happened in BUF,PHI,SF,SD. They don't make the playoffs while he's on the team, but they do as soon as he leaves.

I think that's coincidental more so than Spikes prohibiting teams from making the playoffs.

There was a time when he was being compared to Ray Lewis.

Sure, Shannon Sharpe famously said "that's like comparing Titanic to Dude, Where's my Car?", but still, the comparison was there.

TKO was phenomenal.

I think it's a great poll actually

Spikes, consistent and on terrible teams, never got his fair deal, Marvin has lamented about how difference he would made the defense
