Formed in 1968 by Clevland legend Paul Brown, the Bengals have a history of losing that they are trying to turn around. After a few playoff berths in the 1970s, the team had some amazing runs in the 1980s. They made the Super Bowl in 1981 and in 1988. Both years they had league leading quarterbacks- Ken Anderson the first time around and later Boomer Esiason. Both years they faced San Francisco for the title. And both years they lost in heartbreaking fashion. In 1990, the Bengals made the playoffs, and several months later, Paul Brown died. His son, Mike, ruined the franchise for many years. During the 1990s, this hapless team was nicknamed the 'Bungles' for their poor play on the field. In recent years, Brown appears to have gotten sick of losing. In 2005, the Cincinnati Bengals finally broke their steak of 14 straight years of missing the playoffs. Led by a young core, included quarterback carson Palmer, they made the playoffs, but were bounced in the first round by the champion Steelers.
"And Joe Montana has done it again! For the second time in his career, he has organized a fourth quarter comeback to beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl."

Semi-pro Sports team in Cincinnati that holds onto its NFL franchise every year by the narrowest of margins. Riddled with misery, Bengal fans are to be considered the most dangerous in the world when operating machinery, walking, or even vegetating on a couch. Bengal fans are easy to spot, look for shoes on wrong feet, pants on head, or really anything so out of the ordinary that only a moron would make the mistake. If you spot a Bengal's fan, do not approach them, simply yell we-dey (you will probably be right) and run before they are able to engage you in conversation, thus robbing you of IQ points.
I went to the store but the entrance was blocked by a Cincinnati Bengals fan trying to push the revolving door clockwise while yelling, Who-dey.
