I will say the passion has dimmed a lot in recent years with the team having several losing seasons in a row.  One good season and it'll be back, but I know lots of people skipping the games on Sunday and just investing a lot less time and interest.

My favorite moments were the times I had to explain the concept of TV blackouts during the '90s as a Bengals fan. I'd joke that I probably saw Elway play more than Bengals QBs because the games weren't always on TV. Broncos fans didn't even know this was possible!

how good we are playing or how big the game is. I have had to endure countless Bronco/Raiders games where both teams
suck.

(01-27-2022, 03:04 PM)MileHighGrowler Wrote: That's funny.  I was thinking this past week with the nostalgia wave how many games in the 90s I had to listen to on the radio because they weren't on TV.  So odd in many ways to go from that decade to where we are now! 

One fan I can always find whenever I go out and a game is on is a Buckeye fan.  They're everywhere.  I tell them I'm from Ohio and can usually score a free drink off that

I've made this post before, but if the Colorado Rockies or Denver Nuggets won it all and the Broncos signed a third string QB the same day, everyone is talking about that third string QB. I had fun living out there when Manning won the Super Bowl along with that  Von Miller-lead, special defense. It was fun to watch Broncos fans enjoy the moment and I want to experience it as a Bengals fan.

Random & side note. Everyone seemed so nice when I'd go there.

I love my side of the state where the big mountains are. The rest of the state is pretty plain, namely the East.

Here in western Wyoming and going up North to Yellowstone is just beautiful.

Even in the winter when everyone gets cabin fever. Once spring comes around though everybody has a big smile on their face lol

Someone once told me that Western Wyoming has been trying to sell Eastern Wyoming to Nebraska for years, but they won't bite.

in Colorado to be one and even then I don't get it. I don't like their helmets or their uniforms and don't like Elway or Shannon
Sharpe or lots of their players. They are smug like the Chiefs fans were acting before we beat them the last time.
