It works, clearly, as this board has done nothing but complain about this exact thing since I joined in '09.
All I need to say is that actions speak louder than words: a guy with 0 ties to this city until he was drafted, moves his entire family here and despite being a Florida guy and all that it entails, he has chosen to keep himself and his family in the city, has all of his businesses here, attends EVERY Bengal alumni event if it doesn't take place on a Sunday and absolutely gushes over the team in every interview he has about them.
Actions, not commentary.
The same can be said about Kirk Herbstreit. Ohio State fans kind of ran him out of Columbus for not being a Homer while doing Buckeye games, and he then moved to Tennessee.
