The 2006 Christmas Eve game against the Broncos was one of the top-5 most frustrating games I watched. Back and forth game with the Bengals screwing up many chances to score. Palmer throws a TD pass to Chris Henry late in the game only for Graham to miss the PAT. We lose 24-23.
I was in New Jersey visiting family and at a country club that night having dinner. My wife, brother and I walked up to the bar to get drinks for our group but we stayed there to watch the game while waiting for our table. Based on my comments, the bartender and other patrons figured I was a Bengals fan. When Henry grabbed the TD pass, they other people looked over towards me and nodding their heads and sayings things like “there you go”. The miss the PAT and the whole place was quiet except for one guy laughing hysterically (me). My brother took the bottle of beer I was drinking away from me.
I got up and said something like “That right there is life as a Bengal fan” and went to the bathroom. I came back to the bar to settle up since our table had been ready for 15 minutes and noticed 6 upside down shot-glasses where I was sitting. Bartender told me everyone wanted to buy me a drink. Said “tough one today. Drinks are taken care of. Merry Christmas.”
