How did you become a Bengals fan?

• My dad was in the air force and I lived in Arkansas in the early-mid 80s
• I was annoyed by Cowboy fans.  My dad was watching football one day and said "Bob Griese is a great qb".  So I became a Dolphin fan
• I loved David Woodley and was pissed when they drafted Marino (talk about crow eating, but I was only 11 or 12)
• Moved to Ohio in 1986.  When Marino retired I was tired of Dolphins, and they were not local
• Despite the losing ways, I thought it was time to root for the local team.  Who Dey!
  

So in the darkest hours of Bengals history, I became a fan.

I guess I'm lucky that I was not born/not old enough to remember any of the 90s. I don't think I seriously started watching football until I was 10.
