Are you happy being a Bengals fan?

[Nicomo Cosca]

No. I will root for the Bengals until the day I die, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with what the product this franchise gives us year in and year out. It's not easy being a Bengals fan. We're the butt of the joke more often than not, and get absolutely no attention nationally unless it's for being playoff chokers or criminals. I've watched hockey teams I root for win multiple championships, and I remember watching the Reds win it all when I was a kid. I want to know what that feels like for my football team. Hell, I want to actually go into a January football game with even a glimmer of hope that we will win.
