But Fulcher hurting Bo Jackson cemented my eternal love of everything Bengaldom ( I was 10). My older brother used to beat me up. And he had a Bo Jackson jersey he was so proud of and never wore... that and the helmets.
But I became a fan in 1991. So I missed every good year ('81, '88) and only have the bad 90s, 00s.... some good times in the 10s... Everyone asks me why Bengals? And it's because you like who you like.... and I'm too stubborn to change and be some poser on some bandwagon.
I have liked the Chiefs success though. I even told my mom about Andy Reid and his life. It's a pretty sad story about opioids and how they affected us all. I'm glad to see him get the success he deserved. The man has some demons about the sacrifice that got him there, grief is a hard thing to carry.
Wow. You started being a fan when the lowest moments of Bengaldom just began. Of course, you didn't know what was going to happen the following 12 years, but, I give you credit for still being a fan today.
Are you from Philly? What parts? My wife is from a suburb of Philly. She shares in my hatred of the Steelers.
