Running back Giovani Bernard’s endless dance card of moves has provided the Bengals offense with plenty of electricity since he arrived five years ago. But there’s one place he’s electrified where they really have no idea who he is.
Bernard figures the good people in the ancestral corner of his Haitian hometown of Tabarre know him only as “The Electricity Guy,” because two years ago he brought the generators and solar panels that lit up his late mom’s school.
One time he brought some footballs and all the kids did was kick them. They shrugged when he handed out some football cards.
