Now that I think about it, I think it was Trademark that would do that kinda crap.

No, I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. You're saying I called into a radio show and got kicked off their air? For ranting about the Bengals? Something else? And how do you know this exactly?
I have never called into a radio show in my entire life. I did call into Sports of All Sorts (Shout out Popo!) one time in college and the Xavier host made fun of my Bearcats. I have no idea where you've gotten the idea I'm a radio caller that got booted off the air. Either you have me completely confused with someone else or this is just getting a bit weird.

- This isn't "superfan" stuff. And I in no way, shape, or form am friends with anyone at PBS.
- I in no way, shape, or form represent the Bengals, nor have I ever claimed to.
- I told you I would buy you a Jackson jersey due to your incessant OFF TOPIC whining about wins and losses in threads unrelated to that and because the Ravens are winning (lately). I also offered to do so because YOU THREW A FIT AND PUBLICLY RENOUNCED BEING A BENGALS FAN YEARS AGO WHEN THEY DRAFTED JOE MIXON - WHO IS STILL ON THE TEAM AND WILL BE FOR YEARS. Yet, here you are.

- As I said at the top of this post... It is super rude to come into an unrelated thread and start going off topic over wins and losses. I didn't just pick that dude out of a hat and piss on him for no reason. Say cry baby stuff and get talked to like a cry baby. What world do you live in where that doesn't happen to you?

I think the point of his post is just win baby. Gimmick marketing and giving me a 5 dollar hat mean nothing to me. The reason I pay 2300 for my tickets is because I am a Bengals fan and I want them to win period. Win and you will have a packed house every week. How many people are going to spend that kind of money on club seats so they can watch film breakdown at the stadium? Anybody with the internet has access to umpteen you tube videos doing the same thing.
Was I happy when they drafted Chase over Sewell, hell no, 95% percent of pundits will tell you a potentially great tackle, trumps a potentially great wide receiver every time, no debate.
I could go either way there. I think I would prefer to just watch the game as it unfolds, keep it simple. But a little insite from a coaches perspective would be interested. It would be better than they old line " we've got to do better".

I know. He was the one guy that could bring together the negative nancies and the homers and we could hate him together.
It's always interesting when the marketing Department wants to pull back the curtain on a struggling brand. Hearing insight from this coaching staff should be as much fun as going over K-Marts financials.

For years Ashley Judd was considered the Wildcats' Superfan, because she was always at every game right there in the lower arena cheering them on. So she could afford to do that, big friggen deal, did it make her any more a fan than some guy in Eastern Kentucky who can't afford the gas to get to Lexington, let alone a lower arena ticket, but bleeds blue and who's whole life and being revolves around Kentucky basketball, because they are out there in masses. Sorry, off topic, but when I hear "Superfan" I just want to punch them. (and that's not aimed at anyone here, just the term)
Well, all i can say is i've personally received a game ball, autographed picture, tickets to a game and a ride in his Caddy, from Gary Burley back in the day. It's what made me a Bengals fan so until someone can top that, I'M the biggest superfan around.

Yes, if you don't want to add anything different, just don't post. But I will say it is entertaining and I need some popcorn...
