Anyways, good luck to y'all this year. I'm liking how the Bengals look. Shipley and Gresham are looking nice, and Palmer is seeming to get better. We'll have to see Sept. 12 against the Patriots.

Well, as you can see, those Pats and Steeler fans are the FRAKs I was telling you about. You see a team that has won a couple of titles and the frontrunners come out of the woodwork. Notice that they weren't Lions or Bills fans.....but they would be if the Lions and Bills had won a couple of SBs each. (though there may be a few legitimate transplants from West. Pa. That area has lost more population than just about anywhere in the country).

Though I usually don't see eye to eye with people that don't root for their "home team", in this case I cannot call him, or you a FRAK (frontrunnerasskisser) because FRAKs are usually people who glom on to a winning team. (We get several NEOhio Steeler FRAKs who really are not Steeler fans, but are just anti-Browns fans and they only become Steeler parasites because the Steelers are the Browns rivals)

By rooting for the Bengals you certainly haven't chosen to attach yourself to a team because of their long history of success. So, good for you. Most people from OK are probably Cowboy fans. That would be natural....but at least you didn't declare yourself to be a Redskin fan. You are welcome back.

People down here, are MOSTLY Cowboys fans. I'll run into the occasional Patriots fan, and there's quite a few Steeler fans down here. I started liking the Bengals when I was real young, because I liked their stripes on their helmet. Didn't know they weren't very good, but I didn't care, I stuck with 'em.

I really was hoping to land Shipley too. I like his style.

Although the one I get most pissed we missed out on is Julian Edelman. I mean, how can we not get another great KSU QB! We should've spent a 6th or 7th rounder to nab him.

Welcome to the site . While I don't really hate cincy as much as I did in their year they were born , I still feel the same way about them as I do all divisional rivals . The only mitigating factor is they are an OHIO team . But that won't get you much on game day in BROWNS TOWN

I usually don't like Cincy fans, but your kind of cute.

Welcome aboard. I hope to hell we can have some good Browns/Bengals discussion this year. Most Bengals fans we come across are dumb as hell and play sissy patty-face games on the internet.

I love Ocho & Owens, they are a hoot, colorful, and good for the league.

hope the home town team can bring some hell marine murderous rampage come next month....

I know another guy that comes from Providence RI who is a big Bengal fan even though, apparently, he has never been to Cincinnati. He hates the Patriots even though Providence is actually closer to Foxboro than Boston is.
