2005 Bengals Podcast Series: Chad Johnson/Hue Jackson

This week, I chat with Johnson/Ochocinco, who took on the Bengals national spotlight in 2005 when his outgoing personality rose to new levels. From The List, to end zone celebrations, franchise records and even a cheerleader proposal, nothing could stop Chad during the Bengals' rise. He became a motor for the entire team the city exploded into a blanket of No. 85 jerseys.

In the second half of the podcast I chat with 2005 Bengals WR coach and current offensive coordinator Hue Jackson about coaching Chad, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Chris Henry and Kelly Washington as well as his relationship with Chad, his version of misreporting in the halftime incident and how that team can correlate to this year's group finally managing that playoff victory.

2005 Bengals podcast series: Willie Anderson

This week, I chat with Willie Anderson, who spent the majority of his career as a lone star on some of the worst Bengals teams in history. He experienced his first taste of true success in the NFL and talks about ugliness of the early years, why the team was able to reinvent itself, what made Chad Johnson tick, frustrations with his own exit from Cincinnati and the one off-field issue that could topple the expectations of the 2015 Bengals quicker than any other.
