In the '90s I walked into Riverfront many a time when a meaningless game was to be played because I'd purchased tickets in the optimism of summer. I liked seeing my team play live, so l had to adopt a philosophy to cope: "I'm here today, so just win, dammit!" It served me well, especially during the many dead-cat-bounce years with late-season wins.
It sucks that there won't be a playoff run this year, but I'll enjoy what I can about the remaining games.
I went to 4 games during the "lost decade" before moving to Florida in 97. We won all those games. My last one was Bengals Bears & it was COLD as f!ck. Like minus 20 wind chill or some sh!t. Did'nt get feeling back in my fingers till we got close to Dayton. They were selling 20oz platic bottles of Coke that literally froze up after my 1st drink. There was also a Bears fan with no shirt on with a Bear head painted on his chest, I wonder if he survived? I've had Sunday Ticket ever since, but may be finally giving it up & sticking with game pass, they win I watch the game, if they lose oh well.
