Boldest Fans: The Great Readers Of Cincy Jungle

by Josh Kirkendall on Oct 1, 2011 12:04 PM EDT

Several weeks ago we requested nominations for the Boldest Fan on our great website, asking who stands out the most amongst yourselves? Would a commenter defend the actions of Mike Brown and his selections? What about someone that during consecutive weeks defends that not-so-easily to defend decisions of our fearless head coach Marvin Lewis? We received plenty good nominations.

In reality aren't we all bold? Readers and commenters sneaking away internet time at work, to read about our favorite sports team? ~~Hours~~ ~~Weeks~~ Months of discussion, debating, arguing the NFL draft and the embrace of that punishing feeling we feel as the opening hours of free agency fade away as the Bengals make no moves to satisfy our vicious hunger for the team to respond in free agency immediately.

Fighting off the ridiculous demands at work, or to take out the trash at home, our Boldest Fan award goes to all of you, the great readers and commenters of Cincy Jungle, not giving a care when the browser opens up and your favorite team is displayed with the Bengal tiger overlooking the river in the top left cover. We thank you for everything.

Been a fan since I can remember

but I just came across this website this year. I gotta say, it’s changed my experience as a Bengals fan ten fold. Don’t live in Ohio and it’s pretty hard finding fellow Bengals fans these days, so I’ve enjoyed the articles and open threads since finding this gem of a site. Thanks for all of your hard work. Who Dey!

well I did defend Bratkowski....

which to me is more bold than defending Marvin Lewis (who I have also defended). Mike Brown… not that bold!

Does that mean Mike Brown gets the Guinness-sponsored scoreboard?

Do I win a prize?

Maybe

Marvin Lewis will be Mikes right hand guy. Its like Abbott and Costello. You never know what is comming next. Yet the books will be in order. Both of these guys understand the money part of the game. And “Thats Important.”

I don't need a plaque

just a place to vent. I’ll flame any coach or owner or even a player, if I think they deserve it. Brown has done as good a job procuring talent this year as anyone could have. If however, he had hired a GM instead of paying himself to do it, we would probably still have J-Joe. just sayin.

huh?

he didn’t address the interior of the offensive line until round 3, where we got a guy who has already been benched. Letting JJo go wasn’t necessarily a bad move, but we replaced him with Clements, who sucks. Nelson looks like he might finally develop into a decent FS, though we didn’t address the other safety spot.

Maybe a decent offseason, but not “as good a job procuring talent this year as anyone could have”.
