Do you remember the blackouts?... For a couple seasons they had trouble selling out, and the Browns would be on TV in the Cincy area to improve ticket sales... If the game sold out then the Bengals would be telivised.

A couple seasons is being nice.......I believe several is more appropriate here

No worries, BBG7. Our Steelers will burst the Bengals' bubble soon enough. We both know that. In the meantime, when those Bengals fans start to get to ya, just smile knowing they have no idea what's going to hit them...tehehe.

Classic loser mentality, permeating even into the announcers booth. Cincy has such a "second class citizen" inferiority complex that even the commentators at their football games try to wishfully will their past troubles away by boasting of things that just aren't true. You know a good way to sum all this up? The Bengals mark the Steelers games on their calendars, because for teams of their ilk, where playoff dreams are no more than visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads, the Steelers games are like their Super Bowl every year. The Steelers have bigger fish to fry.

P.S. (For Bunghole Brian) The above IS smack talk.
