But I do have a question for you, NYC.

Why do you even bother?

I often don't.  Only when I have a little time on my hands do I engage that stuff. 

At this point it's about making sure I'm able to honestly say "I tried" before finally giving up. 

Didn't mean to answer for you, or misrepresent your intent btw, but I'm pretty sure you know that.

I know what you mean brother.  You've been doing a great job.

To get back on topic here, we all know what it's like to have struggled and sucked for so many seasons.  It's actually kind of an "honor" to have fans of opposing teams thinking and expressing the way that they do about our team.

Bullseye is right.  Are we really that good or do the Bengals really suck that bad?  I happen to think that it's a little of both and am looking at this game with some caution.
