Bengals Mythical Ring of Honor Podcast Series: Chad Johnson with guest Mo Egger

Over these four weeks, the Enquirer will unveil each former player of what would be our mythical four-member Bengals Ring of Honor Class. The club doesn't currently have a Ring of Honor or Hall of Fame, but if they did decide to institute one, these would be our picks. With the selection, we sit down for a podcast conversation with each of the Bengals' legends about their careers, life after football, the state of the game and, of course, the current Bengals.
In this final conversation, rather than sit down with our inductee, as I did last year for our podcast series looking back at the 2005 season, I dove into the debate over a fourth selection that could have gone dozens of different directions.
For the discussion I brought in longtime Cincinnati sports talk show host at 700 WLW and ESPN1530 Mo Egger. We break down the four choices, the toughest decisions and his off-the-radar choice for who would be his fourth member of a potential four-person Ring of Honor class.
