T-Rock's Take on the Giants

Then he said "You're gonna die!"

Well, that's what my digital recorder said when I transcribed it. Actually, while we were talking with Coughlin in the end zone of the stadium, someone had the idea to test the audio systems and cranked up the Guns n Roses classic "Welcome to the Jungle." So while we were trying to listen to Coughlin's words (and later when I listened to my recording), all I could hear was Axel's screeching and Slash's guitar. Then, just when things quieted down and Coughlin was starting to wrap up, out came the sweet, soothing strains of Metallica with the amps turned up to 11.

Not sure if Coughlin chose the soundtrack. Credit to him, though, he hardly flinched at the distration. I probably would have waited it out.

Interestingly enough, later in the day when Fooch and I went out on the field to file the video blog you can watch below, we were just about to get started when "Welcome to the Jungle" started playing again.

Maybe someone from Cincy can update us with a comment: Do they still use that "Welcome to the Jungle" song in heavy rotation at Bengals home games? I know it used to be a staple of the Tiger-striped motif at Riverfront.
