45th on the Misery Index?!? Really?!?
#4
(09-28-2018, 11:59 AM)shanebo Wrote: ESPN just posted an article listing its "25 Most Miserable Fan Bases in Professional Sports."  I opened the article, expecting the Bengals to be top-5 or at least top-10, based on the usual reasons -- never won a super bowl, no playoff wins since '91, dominated by Steelers/Ravens, the 90's, Klingler/Smith/Warrick/Carter/Big Daddy, yadda yadda ... To my surprise, we were 45 on the list!  Behind the Browns, Bills, Reds (8), Bears, Jets, Lions, Bucs, Dolphins, 'Skins, Raiders, and Chargers.

Not sure whether to feel happy that other fans have it worse or slighted.

Here's the link to the article, if anyone wants to check it out:

As a Red's fan I  can concur with the rating!  The Bengals have been to playoffs 5 of the  last 7 years.  This helps to alleviate the pain.  There is still hope as a Bengal fan, not so much yet as a Red's fan.  Maybe in a couple years.  Maybe.
