My Dad was born and raised in Cincinnati and I believe even went to UC. He's a Reds, Bengals and Bearcats fan and if Cincy had an NBA team and NHL team back when he was younger, he'd probably be fans of those teams, too. When I was born, we lived in Newport, KY. Due to my parents' job, we moved away when I was 1 and have moved around a lot. I started getting into sports a little bit when I was in High School and I lived in New York. Nearly became a Giants fan because of Jeff Hostetler, but because Dad was a Bengals fan, I was born in the Cincinnati area and the Bengals had the coolest helmets ever (still do), I decided to become a Bengals fan like my father before me. Now, if I had known that I was becoming a fan of a team that would not have a winning record for the next 12-15ish years, maybe things would've changed, but well, as Paul Harvey used to say, "now you know ... the rest ... of the story."
