February 13, 201016 yr The Bengals have to be the toughest team I've ever pulled for. What other teams have you pulled for that make it tough as heck? The Reds are tough but they aren't the Bengals! The Bengals are a poorly run franchise. They have been full of thugs sooo... let's go look at Matt Jones, PacMan Jones and Dontae Stallworth this off season after all the arrests they have already had? Try calling the Cowboys and see how that approach worked? The Bengals are pushing me closer to closer to saying the heck with you as bad as I want to love them. I still do but geesh they make it tough!
February 13, 201016 yr I'm not a big fan of this team, but the Baltimore Orioles have got to be a tough team to pull for. I mean really, did they even have a team anymore after Cal Ripken Jr. retired. They play in probably the toughest division in the MLB and the have to compete with major money owners in Boston and New York.

February 13, 201016 yr If it is that hard to pull for them when they are winning them how much satisfaction do you get out it any other season really? Might be time to move onto a new team.
February 13, 201016 yr I have cursed my father on many occasions for leading me to a life of frustration and let downs. Thats right I'm a life long Browns fan. Stinking Elway! Ernest freaking Byner! Art Modell! and the list goes on and on. I really dont know if we will ever make it to a Super Bowl.

Wasn't the season it's the recent rap sheet then looking at Pac/Matt/Dontae. Just really makes them look like they could absolutly care less about having any class.
February 13, 201016 yr Wasn't the season it's the recent rap sheet then looking at Pac/Matt/Dontae. Just really makes them look like they could absolutly care less about having any class. Then I guess you think they should not have signed Benson, Tank Johnson, or Chris Henry back like they did before? I mean it was because getting guys like this for why they even had a winning season this year. You sure didn't have a problem with them having a winning season this year did you? Or would you have rather them just won around 4 or 5 games, which probably would have happened without those guys. As I said before people might try to make a big deal out of it in the off season. However if it does end up helping the team and the team ends up winning, basically everyone ends up forgetting how upset they were about it, and don't care much anymore about the signings. I mean I really bet that most Bengal fans who are upset about it now, won't have any problems with it anymore if it helps them. We won't have anyone saying even though we are 13 and 3. I would have been 3 and 13 than having these guys on the team.

February 13, 201016 yr From 1976 through 1996, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had only 3 winning seasons (1979, 1981, and the strike shortened year of 1982 where they went 5-4), never won more than 6 games a season from 1983 though 1994 and Sam Wyche's last year, 1995, only won 7. That's 14 seasons of being labeled the worst sports franchise in the history of, not just football, but all professional sports. That was a team that was difficult to be a fan of.

I would have been 3 and 13 than having these guys on the team. Actually I didn't like getting all those thugs. I'd rather have guys that have a history of being classy and producing. Remind me again how many 1,000 yd seasons Chris Henry has had? How many 1,000 yd season has Benson had? Why has Tank Johnson been on so many different teams? How many Pro Bowls have those 3 guys been in? You might enjoy going after every criminal in the NFL even if they have been slightly above average. If that's the kind of guys you like to chear for then good for you. I know it might be hard for you to believe but there are actually WR's and RB's that aren't coke heads or jail birds. Amazingly enough those guys are out there and there's even guys out there that are classy that are actually stars. I understand trying to win. I understand taking a chance on a guy. Odell Thurman, Ced Benson, Tank Johnson, Chris Henry, PacMan Jones, Matt Jones, AJ Nicholson, Frostee Rucker, Eric Steinbach, Matt Askew, Reggie McNeil, Dealtha ONeil etc. Hey at least your boy Chris Henry only got arrested 4 times in 6 months! I hate he died and pulled for him to get his life right but that's who you want to hang your hat on? I've liked the Bengals since the early/mid 80's. I just wish they would 1-get a new owner 2- if they are going to chase medicore free agents chase clean guys. Out of the guys listed how many Pro Bowls do they have between them? You see where I'm coming from? They take flyers on thugs that aren't even superstars like a Brandon Marshall.

It's one thing to plug a questionable background player into a solid team, but you cannot have a locker room full of them. Oh, 13-3 will never happen, but I love the dedication to your team!!!!
