The WORST POSTGAME ALTERCATION in Cincinnati Bengals HISTORY | Bengals @ Patriots (2000)

After a loss in week 12 of the 2000 NFL season to the New England Patriots, players on the Cincinnati Bengals verbally fought a reporter in the locker room until he left. The reason why? It had to do with a news report done by that station that made a player on the Bengals, Tremain Mack, look horrible, even though it was entirely justified. This is the story behind the 2000 Cincinnati Bengals and the crazy postgame incident that took place

On point. The "circle the wagons" mentality shown there, in spite of what's right or wrong, is infuriating. If anyone deserved the ire of the players, it was Mack.

[@kyle1910]

The lack of appeal of this gsme showed since in Week 12 of 2000 the league assigned 7 games with the AFC team as the visitor to Sunday afternoon. Thus CBS had 7 games that day, meaning that the meh (or worse)ness of this game reflected in the broadcast booth. Craig Bolerjack and Charles Mann were assigned this game. Those two worked all of 3 games as a pair that season, getting one only if CBS had 7 or more games. Charles Mann worked 5 other games that season for CBS with Bill McAtee, which also only happened when CBS had 7 or more games on a particular Sunday. Bolerjack never cracked the top 6 in CBS's NFL top 6 pecking order. McAtee ended up as CBS's #6 play-by-play man in 2010, paired with Rich Gannon, then in 2011 paired with Steve Tasker,. which lasted through the 2013 season.

I believe this game was seen in only seven cities, maybe as many as nine cities. It was broadcast in Boston, Cincinnati, Dayton, Providence, Hartford, Portland and Bangor, Maine. It might also have been shown in Louisville, Kentucky and/or in Burlington, Vermont.

I was in the airport, young/ alot shorter than Broo and he was rushing and looking backward and plowed right into me and then acted nasty towards me... Vogel on the other hand does come across as you describe. And WLWT is a preferred local channel (also like WCPO). While no news outlet is perfect, currently WLWT feels more balanced (not sure about this story in particular) in overall local news reporting. I especially like Kevin and his team on the local weather.

[@Davehhhh]

Living near Cincinnati, made it hard to watch football in 90s and early 2000s. Half the time Bengals were blacked out, meaning usually no 1pm game on either station. Road games meant that was the only game on at 1pm sometimes. I could be wrong at the rules but I remember points where it felt like I wasn't watching any football. So you were hoping a good 4pm game and a good Sunday night game just to make it worthwhile.

[@hitking683]

Definitely remember the blackout era lol was most of my childhood. Grew up listening to Dave lap on the radio a lot! From what I remember we usually got a 1pm game but it was the browns and those games was just as horrible to watch. When the browns left the league we got infomercials and a garbage nfc match up on Fox. Very tough time to be a fan but those are the fans I respect the most. Also remember watching sports of all sorts to see highlights late night Sunday... SMH

Two points here: The media has quite enough access to the players to where they really don't need to be in the locker room. The locker room needs to be for team personnel exclusively. Next, the NFL needs to regain control over its business, and have strong and strict player conduct policies which are a deterrent to criminal behavior and is understood and predictable. DUI should be a season long suspension with no pay and no credit toward time served under contract. Hit them in the pocketbook. My interest in the NFL has been dampened by the numerous off season arrests for violent behavior. Why there is not a stringent personal conduct policy to hold the players accountable is ridiculous. This behavior will destroy the NFL,if the league doesn't put it to a stop.

Media acts like creepy people pinning players in the locker room w/no time limit - I've seen some where its like okay enough already... every channel has to ask the same or similar questions and that's "reporting"?

I'm not people driving drunk either but I'm sure the man wasn't drunk driving to and from practice and WLWT had a chance to profit off the situation and they did and if I was a player that felt like I'd been betrayed by somebody to get me to ask me questions and I had to be nice to I tell him to get the fuck out too

Why cover the 1st quarter, slurping on my team

[@redfuryin]

why are you so worked up about something to happened like 20+ years ago? weird.

[@justinmaybach6388]

That’s the point of the channel. There’s a lot of stuff that gets forgotten because social media didn’t exist and several people were likely worked up about this at that time but it was more than likely those who lived in Cincinnati and followed the Bengals or the reporters at that station. A majority of NFL fans probably wouldn’t have known about this happening.

[@redfuryin]

@@justinmaybach6388 again, its was over 20 plus years ago, and it isnt exactly big news then, or now. A guy had problems with drinking and driving and a news station turned him in and the team didnt welcome him in open arms after a loss. shocker.... not saying that drinking and driving isnt bad, but this isnt exactly something to be up in arms over 20 years later.

So no real footage of the actual content. Just this dude talking and watching lame highlights. Do yourself a favor and skip this dudes videos where all we hear is this dudes voice and no real content. Boring and annoying

Alcohol is an addiction... had he buried the story as they do for white players these players wouldn't have throw him out. Your entire tone is that of the times the difference between crack and heroine was skin color. To you it was news, to them you were taking food off the table. How the players felt is dismissed again if you are building relationships you listen. "They said come in and act like nothing happen." They are well within their rights to kick him out." It is not a public place, it is a private space and the people of that private space wanted him to leave. Black men get kicked out of private spaces all the time. If he was just doing his job then to build proper relationships find out what you company is doing before you go into private spaces. No accountability the man served 60 days in jail. He served his time. Things would be different now then before..Babe Ruth Paul Vernon Hornung John Riggins would have been suspended ....The 5 o'clock club was real you never seen it in a news story.

Thank you for this thoughtful perspective and providing some balance to this

[@inconnu4961]

I wish I could dislike this video 400 times! The hyper emotionalism just wasnt necessary here! its a 22 yr old story. Just tell us the story without the heated debate. I have enjoyed most of your other videos (binging some today) but the hyper emotionalism didnt come across well for me. Here is an angle maybe it hasnt been considered. When a team is struggling so much, maybe something like this becomes a rallying point: Us vs Them! Do wish they could have picked a more noble cause? hell ya! But sometimes you take what is available and this was available. You dont have to like it, but if we can be honest, your opinion (and mine) simply DONT matter! It was what it was, and now it is 22 yo old story. Relax! Have an adult beverage and enjoy the games that WILL matter!

Oh Boi what do you know? Another Bengals Hater trying to justify shii that happened over 2 decades ago.

[@justinmaybach6388]

I doubt that he’s specifically targeting the Bengals cause he makes videos about negative stuff that’s happened with all teams and since his favorite team is from the AFC South I can’t imagine he hates Cincinnati all that much.

[@TeddyBelcher4kultrawide]

You bum, cover your own team

[@justinmaybach6388]

He literally makes videos about all the teams including his own and this happened so long ago that I would think most Bengals fans wouldn’t care to remember it at all with where the team is currently trending.

[@bigdrew565]

Then there was Lisa Olson and the 1990 Patriots.....Enough said.

[@DolFan316]

If that happened today, the entire team would be cancelled. As in, their existence immediately ending. The rest of their opponents that season would be given a forfeit win, and the league would go with 31 teams until coming up with a new franchise, likely headed by a consortium of woke celebs. Every player on that team would be blackballed forever.

@@DolFan316I hear you. If anything, this forced the league to put something on paper. You think this was bad, though. I'm from New York. I met some of the original female firefighters who came on the FDNY in 1982. Some of them went through hell for their entire careers. Nobody in charge had a clue what to do for the longest time. Same with the NFL and female employees and sports reporters.
