What this post-season has meant to me

[HarleyDog]

I was a Cowboys fan growing up because that's all I seen on tv and my best friend was a Cowboys fan. However, my step mom was a huge Bengals fan and I started watching with her sometimes when I was at my dad's for the weekend. In the Army, we had 1 channel and that was AFN (Armed Forces Network). We only got games they decided to show and it was tough following (they have to program to try and please everyone from everywhere). Had to read the stars and stripes newspaper to keep up. Although, when the playoffs started in 88. I was 100% rooting for Cincinnati. They represented my home state. I also rooted for the Browns too for the same reason but was still loyal to the Cowboys.

I got out and came back to Ohio and when John Kitna joined the Bengals, that was my transition. Something about that guy and his toughness got me started. Been a Bengals fan since, with Cowboys as my 2nd but really don't follow them closely or much at all.
