We didn't really have access to American football here until 1982 when a new t.v. channel called channel 4 showed a 2 hour highlights programme on a Saturday or morning. I immediately fell in love with the game. No particular team, just the game. Seeing John Riggins run over people , seeing Walter Peyton run and evade tackles, seeing Joe Montana throw so accurately it was all so new and exciting and overall FUN !!!! Then I locked onto Boomer and Ickey and the coolness of the Bengals helmets (as mentioned elsewhere) and I was a Bengal for life. To all of you true fans in America who've lived and breathed a mostly disappointing and frustrating time supporting them through the lean years, this time is for you. Never has there been a more exciting or optimistic time to be a Bengal fan. We could have another 15 years ( hopefully) of the most exciting quarterback certainly in our history, maybe the NFL's history. Every up and coming talent is dreaming of being drafted to us now . We are going to be Superbowl champions and this is just the beginning of great things.
