CINCINNATI -- Ryan Finley and Andy Dalton stood 10 feet apart from each other in the middle of the Cincinnati Bengals' locker room, unwilling to concede defeat.
The two quarterbacks gripped their paddles, winged their arms and fired shots back and forth at the team's pingpong table, the rookie Finley taking on the veteran Dalton, who held a valid claim as the Bengals' best player.
On this day in August, Dalton's throne was in jeopardy. The ever-competitive Finley won game after game. At one point, Dalton smacked a ball in frustration in the direction of the showers.
