Now, I truly don't want to root for the Bengals anymore. But, I've never switched team loyalties before and I don't know if I can do it.
Thus, I leave it to you, my fellow (as of now) Bengals fans, someone convince me to stay a fan. I want to be like Mike: too lazy to make the effort to change.
Thanks in advance.

Well only one that can convience you is you...
There are plenty of teams to root for...
Or College football is a good place to go.
They say Philhos, that it's easier to beat an addiction if you do it with a friend. I'm here to help you for a little while. I have found myself caring to much about this team lately, more than I have in the last 20 years. I will go with you till the end of the combine without seeing or reading anything Bengals related.
Well after much thought and to the surprise of probably no one, I'm not going anywhere. I realized this morning that I've been a Bengal fan for over 25 years. As much as I want to switch teams, I just can't. Merv being back sucks, for sure, but I managed to survive the 90s, I can survive this. It may take until Mike Brown shuffles off this mortal soil (God rest his soul), but by God we're going to win a Super Bowl SOME day and I will be PROUD to have been a fan through the worst this team can throw at its fans.
WAS IT OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR? CAN YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH? CAN YOU SHOW ME THE MONEY? CAN I GET A WITNESS? HALLELUJAH! HOLY SHIT! WHERE'S THE TYLENOL?

Because you're a Bengals fan...no other reason

Your next chance before the Parole Board is only 2 years away.

Good man. This world needs more people like you.

Personally once I've chosen a team that's it...I may lose interest or not as follow as much but your team is your team no matter what.
If needs be, take a break from it and come back once we have 'won the draft' by drafting a tall CB from the SEC in Rd 1, a soccer kicker in Rd 2, and an injured Olympic level discus thrower in rd 3....that should re-charge your weary batteries!!
Man.....if we haven't built enough character in 27 ***** years of this nimrod, we'll never have an ounce of character, period!
