Did you not know what you were getting yourself into when you became a fan of the "Bungles"? (01 right?) Were you young? Family pressure?
I ask because.. no way would i have chosen this team coming off the 90's. "Luckily" I got to witness some success by becoming a fan in 80 and then they just became my team. After 2 SB's within a decade i didn't see the 90's coming at all. I thought they would eventually get one.
This team seems to really pain you and that is justified to a degree. I mean you don't want it to damage your life or anything. If you feel it is getting to that point I say maybe it is time to find another team. You wouldn't be the first person to do it. Why do you think the Steelers have so many fans? Because they are easy to root for. Same goes for all the other darlings.
It's hard being a Bengals fan.
