We didn't live in Cincy but we were from there and my dad was a fan of anything Cincy.  When the Bengals were born, there was no way he wouldn't be a Bengals fan and there was no way I wouldn't be a fan of whatever he loved.  It was just inevitable, really.

I was a big Browns fan - Lou Groza, Jim Brown, et al. When Paul Brown established the Bengals, I switched and never looked back.
