I love this team and love that you qualified your love by saying you love most people here. I concur!

Dude, how you gonna cry, while you're peeing?  I'm 57, and lived through all this too.  But, I couldn't cry in front of my wife with Mr. Johnson out, in my hand, peeing.  Now I feel guilty for not just leaving the room and peeing in the toilet.  But then, I would have missed the INT.

And to top it off, now it's a gameday thingy.

And at 5-0 against the field, we might be the superior team in this half of the tournament, but there are no style points that come with the Ws.  As long as we score 1 more point than the opponent does for the entire game is all that matters.

I figured you were used to crying when holding your thingy. Cool Well, that's just based on stuff your wife has said.




I've probably said too much, forget I mentioned it. Tongue

Army buddy and I were there tonight with some of our adult kids. Last Bengals playoff win we listened to in a foxhole on my shortwave via Armed forces radio in Desert Storm. We've been to every home playoff game since and we all know how they turned out. Needless to say tonight was very emotional for us tonight. Love this team. Love ending the curse. Have a great night.

Thanks mate, my other sporting love in life is my Rugby League team in the NRL here in Australia and we haven't made the playoff in over 10 years so that adds to the emotion of the win today.

I am guessing Cincinnatti will be buzzing this week and it must be a great time to be there.

I'm a West Ham supporter in Alaska that really has no plans to ever visit England. When they won promotion years ago, I had tears during the replays of the matches later in the week. It really surprised the shit out of me because I had no idea how much they meant to me during that time of my life.

Ah, man. I'm sorry. But it's good that you can just come out and admit that. It's been said that the only benefit of playing for a Cleveland sports franchise is that there are no road trips to Cleveland so I'm glad that you haven't appeared to have shown any side effects from your stay.

Same here. There's no logical reason to care so much about a team on the far side of the globe, but I can't help it - the Bengals are in my blood now.

Where are you from mate? I have supporter the Bengals for over 30 years. Being able to watch every game for the last 15 years or so has just made the attachment deeper.

Currently Ballarat, but before that Adelaide and then Hobart. Bengals fan since the 81 Superbowl which was the first game I ever watched (had no idea what was going on, but the stripey helmets were cool, and for some reason I had a Reds jumper as a kid so I opted for Cincinnati).

Mate, that is awesome, not many of us in Australia. I have only ever seen 2 people wearing Bengals gear, though one guy on the Housos TV show wore one lol.

It really good to see another Aussie on here, I think there are a couple of others floating around as well.

Well, I just happened across this little gem.  Okay, yes I cry when I'm holding my thingy.  It's really heavy man.

My ex-roommate in Az from the 80's who coincidently was also from Dayton married an Aussie and moved there years back. 

So somewhere down there you may run into another Bengals fan.

Great place to live mate, I really wish the NFL would send a game down here one year. Imagine a Bengals game in Sydney, you can all stay at my place lol
