Overview

• Boomer Esiason read an email on WFAN offering Ring of Honor members two complimentary game tickets with the option to buy one more and a discounted Renaissance Hotel room, with travel likely on their own dime.
• Co-host Gregg Giannotti criticized the arrangement as embarrassing for an NFL franchise, a reaction echoed across multiple outlets.
• Outreach appeared uneven, as 2024 inductee Corey Dillon said he did not receive an invitation email at all.
• Chad Johnson said Ring of Honor alumni have sat in suites on past visits, while noting he did not handle travel or hotel payments himself.
• Coverage reviewed included no clear public response from the Bengals, as the Oct. 26 ceremony is set to honor Dave Lapham and Lemar Parrish during the Jets game.
