AND YOU THOUGHT THE BENGALS DEFENSE WAS CRAP

by Davey, Blown Coverage

This story isn't exactly new as it's been on Deadspin and other places already, but it's just too good to pass up. I have the sense of humor of a 12-year old and seeing that "bird diarrhea" is one of my favorite things, this headline just made my weekend.

Yeah, it seems that birds are taking violent dumps on the fine folks that go to Bengals games and the result is a CNN SI article that has me giggling like a 5-year old that's playing hide-and-seek.

Paul Brown Stadium officials want permission to shoot down pigeons that are pooping on Bengals fans' heads -- and in their food and beer -- during games.

[..]

Bengals officials say fan noise used to drive pigeons away during games but apparently the birds have adapted. Pigeon poop is becoming a big problem throughout the NFL, but no one has come up with a foolproof solution yet.

So when you go to a Bengals game, it's not enough punishment that you have to watch their defense take a crap on the field, but you also have to deal with a bird taking a crap in your drink as well. Wonderful.

Officials have also made it clear that there will be no shooting on game days, which probably sucks big time if you are Chris Henry...
