In years past if the Bengals were playing I had to either:
A) be at the game (I'm a season ticket holder but I go to at least one road game per year as well)
B) be in front of a TV watching a game
I've not quite had that dynamic this season. While their on-field performance helped with my decision, I've kind of taken a step back from things as my obsession with this team was really digging into family time. This past Sunday my son had a basketball game at 2 and we took the family out for a late lunch/early dinner immediately afterward. I tracked the game on my phone all afternoon and caught it on the radio when we traveled. I recorded the game but didn't bother watching it when I got home. I even said to my wife that morning, "The Bengals play the Steelers today and I'm not even that excited".
At the end of the day, my wife and kids appreciate the time I spend with them. This team just brings me heartbreak and sends me invoices when it comes time to renew my tickets.
