After game thoughts

We got suckered into being Bengal fans before we knew anything about MB, and now even though I always root for other underdog teams (like the Barry Sanders Lions, the Bledsoe Patriots, etc.), I have unfortunately come to consider the Bengals as my primary team. I get to live vicariously through the Patriots seeing how that once downtrodden franchise has reached unbelievable heights after an ownership change. I know most on this board don't like the Pats, but honestly they have been providing a lot of joy over the years to me by providing the obstacle that the teams in our division we all don't like can never get past. 

In some ways, I am not even sure I want a least deserving guy like MB to win a super bowl managing things "his" way. Surely if he owned a different team I would have to root against that team solely for that reason, but, unfortunately he owns the team that I root for. End rant.

You poor, poor soul.  

No man, I get it.  I like a good underdog too.  I mean, I cheered for the Saints, the Bucs, and yes....the Patsies.  I remember when they sucked too.

Having said that, growing up in the late 70s and into the 80s....I just KNEW there was no way in hell the "aints" or the "Yuccaneers" would EVER win a Super Bowl before my Bengals.  Kinda missed that one!

.....but hey, you DID make it through the 90's :andy:
