Default Divorce or Affair

As previously stated, I'm on my 20th year as a Bengals fan. I have remained true throughout all these years. Through the Super Bowl debacle, the dark years I will affectionately refer to as '90-'03. Then there was some hope as it seemed like my beloved was finally starting to improve herself. Now this year we are now 0-3.

As I live in ATL, I am emotionally tied to the Bengals. However, how long does one go on before its best to either seek the comfort of another or just have a fling. I am thinking of having a fling by going to a Falcons game and see if there is something there. If so, we'll see how I am treated over the course of this season. If I am treated well, do I just hide the fact that there is another, or do I remain true to the Bengals and just hope for next year?

I am so jaded right now I find it hard to remain a fan. After all, I believe we have won around 80 games in my 20 years as a fan. Anyone else been in my position?

What? You don't love the sideshow that is Ocho Cinco?

Could be worse. You could be a Rams fan. I'm just wondering when their season actually starts.

Up until last year, I was so fed up with the Cowboys that I became a hockey fan. Lots of NWA guys who played in high school or college have explained the finer points to this Arizona boy........Go Stars!

I never used to follow the Bengals that much, but ever since I moved to CVG I have been following them. I am no Bengals fan by all means, but don't they usually start out pretty weak at the beginning of the season? Either way, I love to watch them lose Don't even get me started on Ocho Cinco Just from watching the news lately, it seems all Ohio sports teams aren't doing too hot these days... Bengals, Reds, Ohio State...?

I'd say find a new team!

How do you think Lions' fans feel? I know many were cheering for the 49ers today. Now maybe there is hope Millen will get the door. It's just too bad WC Ford won't be going with him. At least Red Wings training camp opened in TVC this weekend!

You guys think you have it bad, why don’t you try living in Houston and being a Texans fan! Just don’t get me started…

However, my favorite sport would definitely have to be the UFC!!! Dana White for president!!

If you're gonna divorce your first team, why not trade up?

Falcons for the Bengals? Ick.

Here here. Thought I am a Columbus Blue Jackets fan, being in Dayton and all. Forget football, hockey is about to start! I dont have the attention span for football or baseball anymore.
