Props to the old guys
#4
I am 58. My dad came from the backwoods of Kentucky were they played basketball and baseball but not football. So I remember watching the Reds and college basketball when I was younger, but I didn't follow the Bengals until I was 11 in 1973. I still have a NFL paperback guidebook from the '73 season. It is really weird looking at the All-Pro teams where the Offensive tackles like Gene Upshaw (6'5", 255") are smaller than today's TEs and Mike Reid was one of the best DTs in the league at 245.

Bengals O-lineman Howard Fest spoke at our Pee-wee football banquet. He seemed like giant to a little kid like me.

Bill Bergey was my favorite Bengal because I played MLB, but he got traded after the '73 season.

The 2 Bengal Super Bowls bracket my college career. The '81 season was my freshman year and the '88 season was my last year of grad school.
