What do you get when you mix a Charger, a Bengal, and a
whole lot of beer? An abundance of bad choices, that’s what. And if the Bengal fan
in question is former boybander Nick Lachey? You get an abundance of bad
choices, set to 98 Degrees tunes.
The event in question took place last weekend when the
Cincinnati Bengals, and Nick Lachey, traveled to San Diego to take on the
Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium. It was there that Pretty Boy Lachey, a devoted Bengals fan, got into an
altercation with a Chargers fan.
Having been to several professional football games myself (including at the aforementioned Qualcomm), I feel qualified to say that classless, drunken behavior is pretty much always on the agenda—not for me, of course; I’m much too refined and princess-like for such behavior. (Waity, on the other hand...) But it’s rare, in my experience at least, for things to escalate into ejection. Not so for old Nicky boy, though.

The altercation started with a good-faith exchange of homemade banana bread and hugs between
the two. Oh, wait, no that’s wrong. The altercation
started with, what else, trash talking.
The Charger fan was wearing the jersey of Igor Olshansky, a former Defensive End for the Chargers who currently finds himself without a football home. Lachey apparently took issue with the jersey and, although his exact words are unknown, said some things that weren’t very nice (shocking, I know). The fan’s quick-thinking wife then mentioned to Lachey that at least Olshansky’s Chargers career lasted longer than Lachey’s singing career.

Ha! Major points for her.
It seems that the Nickster didn’t take too kindly to her editorializing,
though. He allegedly referred to her as a “b*tch,” and then grabbed her husband
by the throat and threw him to the ground. Lachey and his “people” of course
deny these allegations, but, according to TMZ, the fan is planning to press
charges. Get it? The Charger (fan) is pressing charges. This hilarity practically
writes itself.

| If this is him being cool, calm and collected, I'd hate to see him when he's mad. |
And although it’s disputed whether or not Lachey really got
physical, what’s undeniable is that he was ejected from the game. And the
Charger fan wasn’t. What does that tell you? I’ll tell you what it tells you: If
actions really do speak louder than words, then Lachey has been a very bad boy—and
not in a good way.
He probably shouldn’t be expecting a visit from Santa anytime
soon.
