I've thought of JB a few times lately. How cool would it be to see JB hoisting the Lombardi!

The Cincinnati Bengals really are the good guys no matter how you look at it.

He was probably a lot more personable as the owner as opposed to when he was coaching.

Definitely a fascinating story I never know about.
