Thanks to the OP for dropping this thread; I've always enjoyed picturing the board community sending up Who Deys from all around the world. I don't post a lot, but I enjoy the banter and community here immensely, so thanks to you all too.
My Bengals flag has flown from many a map dot since I left home coinciding with the Marvin Lewis era. I grew up in Clay Co, WV with my mom, and my Dad's always lived in Price Hill on the West Side of Cincinnati (hence my branch of our football family tree.)
Glory and praise to the people who make all the tech magic happen, because as I've moved around the world, I've been able to hustle up a connection, download or satellite to watch ever single game since Carson took his first snap. (I wound up at work selling, or not selling as it were, Dodge Rams in '03 on the superb Sunday that Chaddy guaranteed a win over the Chiefs, and I vowed to figure out a way to never miss a game after.)
At any rate - I ended up in the Australian Outback in 2010, and on the day I met my future wife, I sat outside all night at an Alice Spring hostel with an oversized extension cord trying to pick up a stronger wifi signal while she slept in the bottom bunk of what was my top bed. That was the '49er debacle where Justin Smith got called for a personal foul that allowed them to come back in and win it at the end. I had to leave the stream at the 2:00 warning, and didn't get to pick it back up until 3 days later on my 30th birthday...what a typical SNAFU...but in the interim, we hit Uluru in swags together and the rest is our history.
12 years later we've moved and travelled a lot, but 48hrs a year (sometimes 51), I bribe my wife with buffalo sauce vegan treats and I set us down wherever we find ourselves with some device to watch the games.
-------------------------------------------------
The end of this surreal '21 season has seen us get to visit family and friends in the States since the whole pandemic started. It's been a whirlwind, but we've been watching from:
Mt Kisco, NY: vs Denver
Looneyville, WV: vs B'more
Cincinnati," OH: vs KC (watched at my Dad's house instead of at PBS unfortunately, but good in a nostalgic way all the same)
Montrose, CO: Cleveland
Mt Laguna, CA: Raiders (visiting a good buddy, whose wedding we missed last year, has a cabin in the Cleveland National Forest...first half was at the local cafe run by older French folks whom I convinced to support the team a l'Orange! - I had a fondue burger; second half we got the mobile hotspot working back in the cabin and we watched Joe Knows Football melt a few decades away just like that!)
---------------------------------------------------
Tonight, me and the wife are back at our new home; we're 10 days away from 10 years straight on the road spending every single day together, and this is the first house we've ever bought.
Watching from Scarborough Fair, North Yorkshire, UK.
Pass Tee, Chase, Uzomah and Ty'me
WHO the f' DEY!!!
