For anyone that has actually followed this team throughout these years knows that isn't the case.  Mike Brown, our current owner, took over exactly 30 years ago.  This timefrime has a lot of meaning behind it.

You know what?  I'm getting real sick and tied of you calling legitimate fans of this team, many people who actually live here and financially support this franchise, things like babies, or squeelers, or drama queens, or whatever other insult you come up with.

These past two years have been absolute horrible.  The 30 years under Mike Brown, as a whole, have been absolutely horrible.  If people want to vent then let them.  The overwhelming majoirty of complaints (you call them squeeling) are completely justified.  It's absolute BS you mock people for voicing their frustations.

Who do you think you are?  For those reading this far, know that the guy I'm repsonding to, who has 30k+ posts, doesn't even watch most of these games.  He's admitted it.  He only actually watches the team when they're picked up in Tennessee (not often).  He claims to listen to Lapham and Hoard on ESPN Radio, but I'm not even sure that's possible either.

So know that.  Know that the guy who mocks others on how to be a fan doesn't even watch the team he's on here arguing about.  He looks at stats.  If you actually watch the games then you're way ahead of him in support.  He doesn't pay property taxes in Hamilton County, he doesn't pay sales tax in Hamilton County, he's never had season tickets.  None of that.  If you reference a specific play he can't have a debate because he didn't even see it.

He's a blowhard that gets on JN with info that anyone can gain from knowing how to use Google.  And because he likes to argue he uses anything he can find to do that.  This guy is a total fraud.

Correct! The 30 years coincides to the current ownership of the Bengals therefore is relevant. The same ownership that fans are expecting to fix the offensive and defensive lines this offseason, hire capable coaches, etc. The same ownership that refused to hire a GM. Refused to hire scouts up to league average. Refused to build a practice bubble.

Heck, by any stretch this franchise is a bottom tier franchise. In their entire franchise history they're won 5 playoff games total. 5!
