I remember hearing the story about how the early morning of Cincy's first playoff game in ages, Chad got to the stadium 3 hours before he had to, just so he could go out and meet the hardcore tailgaters, give them gifts and thank them for supporting the team through the bad times. Say what you will about his harmless antics, but the guy has always cared for his fans. He's had some downs (like wanting out of the deal he had) but he reiterated numerous times how it had nothing to do with the fans.
So, here's a guy that's entertaining, cares about the people that cheer him on and leaves it out on the field whenever he can. Yeah...who wants THAT in Buffalo....?
