Back in the day they were trying to come up with a name for the franchise. Person that was in charge of it was at his kitchen on day, trying to come up with the name. He looked over and saw an old Bengals branded stove and went with it. The rest is history.

The Cincinnati stoves.

I'm not so sure about this... I was always told that the team was named after a tiger that got loose in Pennsylvania and killed a steel worker along with his pet bird while the guy was taking a dump.   But that might not be correct....
