Mom made him get up and fix it and quit watching the game. So fellas, watching the Bengals and getting upset is nothing new. Been punishing myself since the 70s. I've always wondered why I didn't just give up on them and follow another team but I just can't do it. A glutton for punishment I suppose.
That is pretty funny! I remember in my early 20’s getting super angry watching Bengals games, but now my young kids watch with me so I’ve learned to be even-keeled. Or, in the case of a big game (like Steelers MNF) I go watch it at a friends or something. Lol.
The good news is the Bengals aren’t special in this scenario. People go absolutely nuts at other teams too. And as far as being a glutton for punishment, we can all relate! We’ve got your back, brother. Don’t worry, whether it be with ZT or some other coach, Burrow is gonna hoist a Lombardi wearing a Bengals #9 jersey. WHO DEY!
