They use tractors to dress/cut the playing field, so this is KINDA related /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
If you want to see how loyal I am, look at my bio. I simply have NO idea how I might need to change that if the ...ready...???
Cincinnati Bengals (waaaaahoooooooooooo) win this coming Sunday.
Who on this planet thought they had a remote chance of being in the playoff hunt the 3rd week in december...the next to last game of the season... Though I've always rooted for them to win, it was about 4, maybe 5 years into their "lost decade" that I realized they've gone through various players, various coaches... and the only thing constant through that coma, was their owner, Mike Brown. It was then I realized HE was a factor of the problem as much as anything else might be, as he was the ONLY constant.
Kudos to him for finally hiring a new, but seemingly good coach in Marvin Lewis and then putting himself into hiding. Unlike years past, I've not even seen as much as a picture of him at any game. (seen them all with DTV). Usually, they've shown him in the past sitting essentially alone in his box, but this year, he hired Marvin Lewis and is letting Marvin be the voice and face of the team.
I think Mr. Brown has FINALLY figured out that he is not His Father.
I've told the wife, I do not know how to act when they win... I feel like a dog that might have been abused as a puppy and every time my NEW owner lovingly raises his hand to pet me, I fear it's going to hit me like the old owner. Ie... I fear they are still going to find SOME way to "bungle" it. So far, my fears have been unfounded.
Unfortunately, they lost a couple of VERY winable games. Had they won, this week at St. Lous would not be an issue.
Any other Bengal fans here? You can admit it now... you can come out of the closet, it's okayyyyyyyyyyyyyy....we've gained some respect. In fact, seems the Bengals are sort of the darling story this year, after all, NO ONE dislikes the Bengals, how could they? The Bengals have not been a viable threat to anyone for as long as most of the current players can remember.
whew... just had to vent before this sunday, when I suspect midnight will strike and their charriot ride will turn back into a pumpkin. Win or lose Sunday, it's been a great ride this year. Seems the tide is finally turning.
Fingers crossed!
