Real Classy. :slap:

Midway through the third quarter, Cincinnati tight end Jermaine Gresham caught a 1-yard touchdown pass that put the Bengals up 19-3 when he jogged over to the end zone wall. As he approached, two female Bengals fans -- one dressed in a black A.J. Green jersey and the other in an orange Bengals T-shirt -- had just jogged down the section's steps to the edge of wall. They were excitedly pleading for the ball when Gresham complied. But what none of them, not Gresham nor the women asking for the ball, had expected was the male Saints fan lurking nearby in the first row. As the ball left Gresham's hands, the Saints fan, identified by the Cincinnati Enquirer as a man named Tony Williams, leaped in front of the two women. As the one in the Green jersey -- identified by the Enquirer as Versailles, Kentucky, native Christa Barrett -- caught the flip, Williams snatched the ball from her. In the same motion, he sat back down, putting the ball underneath his right arm. It stayed there the rest of the game.

She did receive a game ball from the Saints organization, but I would love to see Tony Williams not get season tickets next year.
