What was that saying? We might all be Buckeyes, but when it comes to the NFL, we're all losers? The Bengals-Browns-Steelers smackfest trifecta literally makes me dumber every time I'm forced to experience it..

:2004: <- could equally describe that feeling, probably better than the 2004 season.

Unencumbered by the thought process when I wrote that they couldn't fill the place... yeah, the Bengals have been selling tickets, but I don't see bengal mania sweeping the town. I don't see sell out crowds. I do see a large number of Browns and Steelers fans at those games, which seemes to suggest that out of town fans like the friendly confines of PBS and the chance to see some hilarious football and a likely away game W. Let's be honest here, how many people do you see in the place after half time?

Quite a few, the fans fill the place and the fans get up and cheer for there team quite a bit. Do browns fans and steelers fans travel to see their team? they sure do, but that doesn't take away from the fact that bengals fans sell out that stadium week in and week out, as shown by the streak of sellouts...and not walk up sales, but season ticket sales.

I think the minority are the people that think it is "cool" to act like their team or city totaly sucks and to bad mouth them no matter what. Just like the social misfits in columbus who like to say they don't like the buckeyes because they get to much coverage. Go to a bengals game, you will see the seats filled and people that are there to cheer hard for their team. You will see parking lots filled with tailgates and busses painted in bengals motiffs. You will see people with their faces painted and dressed up. Do they get mad when the lose? yup. Do they complain about things? yup. But show me a sports fanchise where at least some of the fan base isn't upset with their team about something. The point is, people don't go to the games just to laugh at the team, or walk around town acting as if the team doesn't exist.
