Anyone that is sad

So many times my Wife or Mom would introduce me to someone that was "a Bengals fan", and after 20 seconds I'd realize the conversation would be similar to talking quantum physics with a 2 year old. I'm not trying to sound like a dick, it's just that it's hard to take a conversation seriously when they can't even name our starting skill position players and think guys like Benson, Simpson, etc are still on the team.

I know.  That's amazing when someone calls themselves a "fan" and don't even know who the starters are. 

Hell my wife knows at least the majority of starters on her favorite team. 

She doesn't even read info about them other than watching the games.

Look, if someone knows the starting offensive linemen, then at least you know they probably can hold a decent conversation.

It's when you can talk about things deeper in the depth chart...  then you know you are really on to something.

Chances are, people who are that knowledgeable, know more about history and also what the issues are with the team.

It's just damn comical when you have a casual conversation about the team to a "fan" and they give you the deer in the headlights look and say "uh... yeah".
