Hell, we drafted the most exciting, dynamic young quarterback  in the history of the team.  He played great games with a team that wasn't ready to win.  He was worth the price of a ticket just on his own.  Fans didn't finally start to show up until the team had pretty much sealed the division last year.  I swear if they had lost that playoff game in a fluke the stadium would still be half empty.

So nobody in Cincinnati should be telling Chris Collinsworth that he's not enough of a fan.  Go complain to the guy at work who just bought his first t-shirt.

I've given him a lot of shit but the truth of the matter is, he's in the booth calling a game between two teams. Maybe he goes overboard on being objective and it comes across as negative towards the Bengals, but he's not in the same boat as Boomer, who can root openly for the team during pregame shows.
