The Cincinnati Bengals, in a move thatβs been described as both overdue and exciting, are finally adding two legends to their much-acclaimed Ring of Honor in 2023: QB Boomer Esiason and wide receiver Chad Johnson. Talk about a throwback, right? π°οΈ
Boomer Esiasonβs stellar run between 1984-92 and his iconic return in β97 set stadiums alight. Meanwhile, who can forget Chad Johnson? If you were anywhere near a TV between 2001-10, the nameβs synonymous with highlight-reel grabs andβ¦well, those celebrations! π
But hereβs the tea β: theyβre not the first. Boomer and Chad will be joining an already star-studded lineup of Bengals legends like Ken Anderson, Willie Anderson, Paul Brown, Isaac Curtis, Anthony MuΓ±oz, and Ken Riley. The Ring of Honor seems to be filling up fast, but the big question is, whoβs going to be joining next? π€©
Letβs throw it back a bit, shall we? π
Boomer Esiason, with his unique style, not only grabbed eyeballs but also changed the way the game was perceived. A friend of mine from Cincinnati always narrates this anecdote: during one intense game, Esiason did a no-look pass that had everyone, including the opposition, looking dumbfounded. Stuff of legends, eh?
On the other hand, Chad βOchocincoβ Johnson? The man was a walking, talking highlight reel. A co-worker once shared how Chadβs touchdown dance became the inspiration for his wedding dance moves! Relatable, huh? π
Itβs hard not to appreciate what these players brought to the Bengals and the NFL as a whole. Their performances were not just about scores and stats; they were about moments β moments that fans cherish and remember.
But hereβs where I poke your brain a little π§ : With so many incredible players and moments in the Bengalβs history, what does it truly take to get into the Ring of Honor? And why now? Are they just following the trends or setting a standard?
So, as we toast π₯ to Boomer and Chad for their well-deserved recognition, we canβt help but wonder: Who do you think will join the Bengals Ring of Honor next? And what do these honors mean for the legacy of the sport?
