I'll give Lapham the benefit of the doubt because he is a former player and likely didn't have the broadcast pedigree before he started. He is clearly a homer (like Joe Nuxhall) and that's fine. Not too many people listening to Bengals games who don't want the Bengals to win. But Johanssen and his ego are just painful to listen to. He doesn't know much about football but he thinks he is hall of fame material.
