Cincinnaticusses are less fat than I would have thought, judging by that pic.

Ah, well then check out a Reds game sometime if you want to see how fat the yokels can be.

It's a pretty interesting study in demographics, actually.  Bengals ticket prices keep the more obesity-prone lower classes out.  Don't see many fans under 25 or over 50.  Cute girls in their late 20s definitely seem to be over-reprisented.

Reds ticket prices go as low as $7, so you get all types.  Lots of fat people, lots of old folks & lots of kids.

Spice, I will argue with you about some things, but you have a cute kid.  Get him together with Malthus's son and together they can rule the world.

Great pictures. :)

Except for the hideous Bengals colours. The only teams with worse colors are the Buccaneers and Browns.

Since ditching the orange colour the Bucs have quite attractive colours and unis.   :huh:

Kid almost looks white.

It's the little bit of Irish in him that keeps him from being 100% :(

Black and gold and white. Timeless classic. In all sports.

I can do that.

Earlier in the season, we had breakfast Sunday morning at First Watch.  A family at the table next to us had a kid his age or slightly younger, and the kid was wearing a Steelers jersey.  With *zero* prompting from me, he looks over at the kid & yells "Hey, BABY.  Hey, BABY.  GO BENGALTH!!!" :)

What was likely going on in his mind was that he just saw a football jersey & that triggered something about the Bengals in his mind, and he sounded aggressive even though that's just his style sometimes.

But on the surface, it looked like he was trash-talking a hated division rival, and I'll take it :)

I like football very much, but Baseball remains my favorite. I blame watching the Bad News Bears tv show a lot as a kid. That, and the fact the 3 of the 7 or so American kids we hung out with were Ricans who preferred Soccer and Baseball over Football when we played.
