My friends and me started this league of table top football with fantasy characters and I needed a name for my team (I still have my self painted tin elves around here...). My home town had a lot of american influence as it was the main port in Germany for the troops so there where some people around wearing pilot-type sports jackets, mainly Raiders. One day I sat in a bus back from school and I saw a guy with this flashy orange-and-black coloured jacket and I knew I wanted these colours and the name for my team.
I followed the results of the Bengals ever since but didn't really get into it until the early 2000s when I started watching football regularly.
As for bad karma: I decided becoming a Bengals follower in 1991. The first game I ever was able to watch was the infamous WC-game in 2005. :snark:

Someone told me to follow my dreams - so I'm going back to bed
