No matter how bad the Reds do, I have such good memories of the being a Reds fan because of the three seasons that I witnessed them end the year as the World Series Champion. Those memories overwhelm the lost years.
As far as Bengals fandom, there are moments of great joy, such as the wins over KC two years ago, but the fact that the Bengals didn't win at the end colors the memories. In fact, the three Super Bowl losses I witnessed are just painful memories. The Bengals need a couple of Super Bowl championships to overwhelm the tough years and tough losses.
Good post and writing. I too, remember those Reds teams of 75,76 and 90 and watching them dominate. Still warm feelings from those years of winning it all. Exactly, the three SB losses are painful memories when they were so close all 3 times. The Bengals need a SB win to sooth the tough feelings from the losses. That's why some of my posts and comments seem short and critical of the team when my inner self feels that 55 years is enough to have a SB win or two. But, life goes on as they say.
