Some guys are like 75+ years old that have been fans that I have talked to on the old board and this one and just want a SB before they die.
Many have died already, we need this. We should NEVER be content with being just good.
Count me as one of those old-timers. And my wife was one of those who didn't make it -- 44 years of marriage until she passed without warning this past February.
I'm a Reds fan as well (since 1964 for the Reds) and in the quiet hours of the night or day their 1975-76 and 1990 teams still bring a big smile to my face. Those championships always made being a Reds fan so enjoyable. I can look back with delight at the games the Bengals won to get to the Super Bowl, but then there was no closure -- just a memory of pain by the three close losses.
Just one Super Bowl win. That's all I ask. I'll be happy with that.
