Because I live in Cincinnati...who else would I root for!!!!
I grew up a football fan...from the time I was 5 or 6, I got dragged to my brother's youth games. One of his teammates was the son of a Washington Redskin offensive lineman. These little kids practiced with "surplus" pro-level equipment and used the team's playbook. The rules around kids sports were a lot different back then. They went undefeated for 3 years. But the teammate's dad gave the entire team and families tickets to games when he could. We got to see the Tom Landry-coached Cowboys play the Vince Lombardi-coached Redskins play at old RFK Stadium. Everybody was rooting for the Redksins...but I liked the pretty blue uniforms of the Cowboys. They became my team. When we moved to Dallas a couple of years later, I was in 7th heaven. The Cowboys were on one TV channel and it seemed the Chiefs were always on the other so they became my 2nd favorite team (they still are...don't shoot me)
My Cowboy fandom was waning, when Icky Woods pulled me over to the Bengals. That Bengals team was having fun.

All hopes turn to next year
