Props to the old guys
#55
I'll be 52 next month, been a Bengal fan since '77. I was born into NW Ohio, all of the other kids were Browns or Steelers fans. They made fun of me for picking the loser team. When they went to Super Bowl XVI, I was 11 almost 12. The game fell on the weekend that I had to go to my Mom's house, and she hated football and everything else macho or violent.

So, I'm sitting there in the living room alone, watching the game with my tray table of snacks and such. Just having an uninterrupted good time while she and my sister watched a movie in another room. When the Bengals failed to score on 1st and goal from the 3, I burst from my seat, knocking over the tray table, and spewed a mouthful of explicitives that would have earned me a solid back hand from my father. Mom came storming into the room, exclaiming "You're as bad as your father, with that gawd dammed football!" She threatened to shut the TV off and send me to bed.

I watched the rest of the game in bitter silence.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
