It seems like Chick Ludwig want out of Cincinnati. His writing leaves much to desire. Do you think he is doing this because he really does not care about the Bengals? No, I don't want a HOMER reporting for the Bengals, but come on!

Chick is a Dayton area self-proclaimed Stains fan. Mortal enemy of the Bengals, ...nuff said.

Never heard that. He strikes me as the biggest Bengals fan of any of the beat writers.

I think Chick and the rest of local media got their feelings hurt. They sat through the down years, but the coaches were home grown and comfortable so it made it difficult for them to really cut into them because they were friends or old relationships.

Coslet been with the Bengals since Paul, Lebeau been with the Bengals since 1980. Alot of the staff were former bengals or from the Paul Brown coaching tree.

So I imagine it was difficult covering shitty teams and trying not to hurt those old relationships.

New Blood with Marvin, came with an up tick in performance. Great? Nope, he's a dick to them. So now they got a better product to cover but have to deal with a guy that they simply do not like. It shows.

I think they do a poor job because of it.

It was a non Bengals article. Talking about growing up and listening and loving the Clowns. And how great their old stadium was, and their old announcers. :nasty:

even though Chick is from Cincinnati, he's never been much of a fan it seems. graduated high school in '72 when the Bengals were first getting started, and has never been back.


Chick is an attention whore and an embarassment to the journalism community.

A guy I used to work with was in his late 50's. He grew up rooting for the Browns even though he lived in Cincinnati because Cincinnati didn't have a team yet. Now he is one of the biggest Bengals fans I know, but he still has fond childhood memories of the Browns.

Calling Chick a Browns fan fits right in with the logic around here lately though... -_-

all well and good, but Chick hasn't lived in Cincinnati for 36 years from what I can tell and the team was only 4yrs old when he left.

I think you were busy attending to a feeling in your gut.

Chick is a HUGE Bengals fan. Hell, he even wrote a book about them.

doesn't mean much. Daugherty wrote a book about Chad, yet bashes him every week.

To be fair to Chick, he said he was a Browns fan from back in the 50' and 60's.
That was before there was a Bengals franchise. Alot of people were Browns fans then.
And converted to Bengals fans after. And he also said he is not a fan of this version of the Browns.

This one is a gift to the Chickster ...

[quote](Rotoworld) Free agent LB Edgerton Hartwell has agreed to a deal with the Raiders.

Impact: Hartwell was cut by the Bengals after training camp last season and failed to catch on anywhere else. Oakland is hoping Hartwell can give the team a veteran presence at middle linebacker.[/quote]

...chew on that for a while Chick, ...and enjoy!

I'd argue that they get what they have coming., and get the same amount of respect reciprocated that they give. There are quite a few of the locals Marvin's nice to, particularly the TV guys. For guys like Chick though, you ask a dumbass question, you get a dumbass response.

Ding ding ding.

Marvin gives Chick's 7th grade journalism all the respect in deserves.... none.

In the beginning, I think Chick asked the tough questions. I think he wanted to be Sam Donaldson to Ronald Reagan. I think Marvin wanted none of it, and brushed him off. I think both Marvin and Chick have devolved into something really childish when they are together... I also think Chick's "Chickster" stuff is just plain bad. I think he meant to create a different voice to use every once in awhile. The trouble is, no one makes the distinctions in voice. Chick's character creation has turned all of Chick into a joke. It was a lousy move on his part, and I don't see him trying to change that... There was a time when he was willing to ask a hard question, but still maintain credibility as a reporter. Now, he's just kind of a punchline.

i think thats pretty spot on...i would assume there is an actually successful, GOOD writer out there who has a side column or blog thats less professional, and chick thought he was on that level, and it crashed and burned.

tho i find humor in marvins toying with chick. as i think he is odd... and players seem to be either afraid of his presence or cant stop laughing at him during interviews...
