    Re: Reds Fans but NOT Bengals Fans

    I was a big Cowboys fan for many years dating back to the first Super Bowl they won. But in the last 15 years or so I lost interest. I hate Jerry Jones. The typical meddling owner who I don't think will ever win another championship. Also I grew to dislike how the NFL is played now. Which is mainly a passing league. Also I don't like how they have approved of all the celebration dances. I still do watch some on Sundays. But don't make it a priority like I used to. When I do watch its from the Redszone channel which has no commercials. I think with all the commercials that are now inserted in a regular broadcast made the game incredibly boring to watch.
    Reds Fan Since 1971

    Re: Reds Fans but NOT Bengals Fans

    I grew up a Reds and Bengals fan.....but transitioned to a Bucs fan when I moved to Florida. The Bucs were still a losing team, but they were improving....Sam Wyche was the coach which made it an easy change. I could never change my teams again....too emotionally invested in the Reds, Bucs, and Lakers.

    I can count on one hand the number of live sporting events I watch each year. No commercials for me. That's why I have mlb.tv. I skip past the commercials and FF between pitches.

    Life long Brown's fan since 1965. Leroy Kelly number 44. Bengals didn't exist. But I've also followed the Bengals since they came into the NFL, and root for them.

    Re: Reds Fans but NOT Bengals Fans

    I too live in the Huntington, WV area. I've been a Reds fan since 1966, when I was not quite 11 years old. However, when I started following NFL football, there was not yet a NFL team in Cincinnati, and back then we could only get the local NBC affiliate, WSAZ-TV 3, which showed AFL games, which in effect meant I would root for an AFL team. While my dad rooted for the Kansas City Chiefs, who went to (and lost) Super Bowl I, I became a fan of the silver & black, the Oakland Raiders.
    I also rooted for the Bengals when they were created, and I was cheering hard for them in their two Super Bowls, but truth be told, when the Bengals played the Raiders, I rooted for the Raiders. Of course, having those two teams as my favorites, it was easy to find a NFL team to root against: the Steelers.

    Yep, same here concerning the TV as I became a Reds and Steelers fan in lower central Ohio. The 76ers were also on CBS a lot in those days (1970’s) in which I became a fan of the team and Dr. J.

    I have stuck will all the teams through thick and thin.
