Bengals Introduce "Jerk" Hotline

It's going to be a lot tougher to be a football fan in Cincinnati this season.

Fans attending a Bengals game can call a "Jerk" hotline from their cell phone to report bad behaviour by other fans. They can call 513-381-JERK to report foul language, fights and drunkenness.

Are things that bad in Cincinnati? When you attend a sporting event, you expect some unruly behavior, especially when people are drinking. I admit I get a bit annoyed with other fans who can't handle their liquor and get abusive. But I don't think a hotline will solve the problem.

If that kind of behavior really bothers you, you're better off staying home.
