SAN DIEGO — Pressed for proof of his Bengals-loving credentials, Petty Officer 1st Class Bryan McDaniels broke out the Ickey Shuffle next to a topside missile bay on the USS Cincinnati moored at Naval Base San Diego.
The comical dance steps created by running back Ickey Woods celebrated his touchdowns in 1988, the most recent season the team reached the Super Bowl.
McDaniels, a Columbus, Ohio, native, stopped just short of the punctuating spike Thursday to avoid the football bobbing in San Diego Bay. There was no such caution when the ball ricocheted through the living room as a kid.
