I became a Bengal fan in 1971 because of Johnny Bench and a NFL magazine that informed me that this football team existed. I was in northern CA and never met another Bengal fan until I was 26 in the second super bowl run. I was a senior in high school during the 1981 run and was surrounded by 49er fans who I’m sure were Raider fans until that year but came screaming out of the freaking woodworks somehow. I’ve been a lonely Bengal fan my whole life and welcome all fans, new or otherwise. Whodey!!
