I was born and raised in Eastern Kentucky. First game I ever watched was Superbowl XVI in 1982. Needed to pick a team to root for when I had absolutely zero knowledge, and I picked the Bengals because I liked their jerseys better. I remember when I was in my early teens, late 70s/early 80s, all of my friends were starting to pick their favourite teams. Around that time, I came across a picture of me as a toddler decked out in Niners gear. My dad had a tendency to root for whomever was doing well at the time. When I found that picture, I decided I was a Bengals fan because I refused to root for the Niners after the SB loss.
Needless to say, the 1990s/2000s weren't the best times to be a Bengals fan, but it eventually paid off.
