NFL Mascot of the Week

It's none other than Cincinnati Bengals mascot "WHO DEY," shown here giving a hug to wide receiver Chad Ochocinco.

Who Dey is the mascot, yes, but it's also the name of a chant of support by Bengals fans.  The entire chant goes like this:  "Who dey!  Who dey!  Who dey think 'gon beat dem Bengals?"  To which, the entire stadium enthusiastically replies, "NOBODY!"  Really gets the crowd going.  Sometimes, the entire chant is shortened to simply, "WHO DEY," but I prefer the extended club mix.

(BTW:  Who has their name legally changed to 'Ochocinco? ' Johnson must've been too boring for him.  Maybe he thought 'Chad Johnson' sounded too much like the captain of a sailing team or something - which, you have to admit, it does.)

Drama!  Some give the "Who Dey" chant a little bit of the side-eye because it's remarkably similar to the New Orleans chant "Who Dat."  I'm not judging ... I'm just sayin' ...

Listen, Bengals fans, who dey think they are trying to give YOU the side-eye?!!  Grab your Skyline Chili and maybe some beer from Oldenberg Brewery, get your tailgatin' on, and cheer your Bengals to success!
