Shouldn't people be rooting for the little guy, the small market teams?
Why would people root so hard for cities like Cleveland and Buffalo but not like Cincinnati?

I was trying to wrap my head around that, too.  I guess it comes down to hating the team that always beats your team.  I think if the Bengals win 3 of the next 5 SBs they'll become a lot more popular, really.

Honestly, I finally get on board with the notion that we've changed from the nationally loathed me-first diva, trade-demanding, and Burfict-style players of the Marvin era to being this unselfish team of humble and quietly confident former team captains led by a hometown hero and now we're apparently going to become loudmouthed arrogant jerks that everyone jealously hates? 

Fair enough, if it means we win 3+ SBs.
