Bengals mired in mediocrity

The Cincinnati Bengals have spent nearly two decades mired in mediocrity - ESPN

GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- The revolution marches on in a lush-green field three miles from the Georgetown Scott County Airport. If the billboards and the urinal-cake campaign didn't do it, didn't stir the Cincinnati Bengals out of an 18-year slumber, surely Andrew Simon's banner will.


Simon was 8 years old the last time Cincinnati won a playoff game. Now he's a 27-year-old instigator, plunking down $1,000 for a guy named Bud to fly his single-engine prop plane over Bengals camp for an hour with a tersely worded message for team president Mike Brown. Simon's cell phone rings on an unseasonably cool Friday night during training camp. There is a problem: Bud is being denied access to the airport runway. But the fan uprising must carry on, so the plane lands near a church, and a banner that says "101-187-1 ... HIRE A GM!" is attached.

Wife's Uncle was a diehard Bengals fan for 30+ years.....until he decided to become a Steelers fan after SB XL...

It was hard as hell watch a Bengals Game with him around...

just read the article, they did a good job with the article........long suffering Bengals fan, but can't see myself rooting for another team, just loyal to a fault I guess.....

I'm like you Miller.

When you marry it's for better or worse.

You're married to the Bengals and I respect that...Of course, I grew up as a Cubs fan so I'm tuned into your loyalty.

Your day will come, my friend....

I just hope you're alive to see it.

As a Saints fan since their inception I can feel your pain. I did root for the Bengals back when Charlie Alexander toted the pigskin for 'em.

Wasn't my choice....The thanks goes to Uncle Sam for that move....

 

[cctekguy]

I've learned to be a homer through the years.

I've moved too much to be married so I just love the one I'm with, which is the Saints right now.

The only NFL team that has had my affection through it all is the Chiefs...Sucks to be me. aklandsucks:

Take away the Behring years and the Seahawks are a respectable franchise. .510 winning % by my calculations.

This would probably not be the best time to bring up Super Bowl XL.

I'll just put this here to save everyone the trouble of scrolling through smileys. LOL

There are at least 4 Seahawks fans here at SO.

:hmmm: Me thinks we been insulted :nod:

Or complimented. All four of us can completely fill a stadium, generate large ticket & concession revenues, and are the loudest fans in the NFL.
