I wonder how ticket prices compare?

One of the reasons I relate so much with the Bengals is likely due to neither of us doing anything of note in the past 30 years.

Exactly, I first moved to Cincinnati that year and just told someone the other day while watching NFL network that the Billups dropped interception should have been included on the what if plays that could've altered the future. Even though he is dead I still feel angry about that but R.I.P and condolences to his family.

Kirkpatrick is the re-incarnation of Billups, he can't catch a ball if his life depended on it.

I can still see that play in my mind very vividly. Game over, World Champions, if he hangs on to the ^*#%ing ball!

I was 7. Barely understood football. Cried.

Just like Nately, not much has changed for me either.

Well, the average price for Bengals Super Bowl tickets have certainly plummeted since then.

Wasn't there a 3-D Pepsi commercial in that SB? I remember my Mom recording it for me on VCR and then mailing to me in Germany with a pair of glasses. At lease I think that was the one.

If memory serves, there was some cheesy 3-D musical thing at halftime. 

On a good note, Mike Martin (Bengals WR) won the talent contest at halftime.  Bad as all that was, it was still better than many halftime shows the last couple decades or so.

Then just imagine if you were a fan of Cleveland, Detroit, or Jacksonville who have never been to a Super Bowl.

HarleyDog was right about the commercial- though it was Diet Coke featuring a Pepsi vending machine.  Must say I didn't remember that at all.  Oh well, enjoy all!
