Bandwagon riding, life revolving around the teams success, only validation in their pathetic lives is the team having won Super Bowls, and to top it all off they have more homer-vision bs than any fan-base in any sport around the world. Any other group of fans at least has some rational members who can call out the teams bad players, but the ****-boy fan boys from pitt...nope...they do no wrong. Yet the national media just worships those self absorbed asshats.

It's a one-two punch.  We have no SB teams and only a single HOFer but Mike Brown does nothing to recognize or promote the Bengals teams of the past...rather, we have a large amount of former players who are outright hostile towards what the Bengals brand has become in the past 25+ years.  Mike Brown's methods not only hamper our current success, but they damage the perception of the Bengals since even the crappiest of professional teams (the Pittsburgh Pirates, for example) trot out the stars of yesteryear when their current product fails to impress.

So when you look at NFL teams as longstanding brands the Bengals seem a bit lacking compared to many.  We as current fans don't have many good things to say about most players who aren't currently on the roster, so we don't give much of a damn about the Bengals beyond the current regime and we actively dislike or merely tolerate a number of the most highly-tenured and important people in the franchise.

Ouch.
