Hard to choose from all of our hardships lol
It was gutting. So much momentum had been built up. It basically killed the once incredibly promising Palmer era of Bengals football. That team was explosive and had a shot that year. I remember exactly where I was and it was tough.
The 16 game was horrific. I was there in the rain. It was a hostile environment and I'll always think it was a mistake for the league to have that game scheduled late on a Saturday. Plenty of time for everyone to get good and drunk, and pissed.
Honestly, I'd like to forget the day ever happened. One of my buddies got thown out of that game. Another that I attended with died last year of a heroin overdose. If I could erase one day of my life, it would be the day my dad died, but that game would be second. Nothing good about it whatsoever. A black mark on existence itself. Everyone there knew that it was the end of the Lewis era, and that it would be a long time before the team was that good again.
