I grew up in south central Kentucky, and my grandmother was a huge Reds and Bengals fan.
During WW2, she went to Cincinnati to work in a factory that was producing for the war effort and became a Reds fan while she was up there. She was big sports fan in general. So when the Bengals came along, she adopted them too. If you went by their house in the summer, the Reds were on WLW in the carport. If you stopped by on fall Sundays, the Bengals were on TV. I became a fan by default.
I was twelve during the 88 season, and my first ever NFL game was the OT thriller against Washington that clinched home field advantage for the playoffs. If I wasn't a big enough fan already, that sealed the deal for me. Then came the 90s.....lol.
