So who will you root for?

Simply because it's aimed at Bengals fans. Had a fellow Bengals friend tell me he will root for AFCN regardless of who is representing. Sorry, can't do that in playoffs ever. I mean I could root for the other Ohio team if they went in, but only because I'm a Buckeye by birth. Couldn't root for anyone else in the North. Although, I have to admit, I do watch other teams in the division, while rooting for the other team. My wife says I have a problem of letting stuff go. Well, if we ain't in it, and I refuse to root for Baltimore or Pittsburgh, than, well, maybe she's right?


No, she's not right. I hate both teams with a passion (hate Steelers far more than the Ravens). Browns I don't hate so much. Actually don't hate them at all, but I don't watch their games usually nor do I cheer for them. Good to see some success from them and if they win, hopefully sends a msg to the organization that Hue doesn't belong anywhere. Not even at Rumpke. 

I used to root for the Cowboys a bit, but I'm 51 and they were on every Sunday when I was a kid. I grew up with them. Hell, I even had a subscription to "Dallas Cowboys Weekly." My Dad, Brother and Sister was born in Chicago, so when they are in I root for them. My wife is an Indianapolis fan so if they are in I will root for them (trust me, it's a smart move). I can't stand the state of NY or Louisiana (Also hate Mississippi, but they don't have an NFL team). California teams are too political and it rains too much in Seattle (Love the 12th man there tho). 

I could go through every team, but I guess I wanted to ask what other Bengals fans do when we are out and have no chance? 

I basically root for whoever is playing the Steelers.
