Bengals Early Bird Special

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a relaxing weekend. There wasn't enough alcohol to help us fans make it through Bengals latest game.

One day fours football fans wanted to find out who was the most loyal to their team. A Chicago Bears fan, a Green Bay Packers fan, a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and a Cincinnati Bengals fan. They all decided to climb to the top of a high mountain.

The Bears fan wanted to prove that he is the most loyal fan. To prove his point he yelled at the top of his lungs, "This is for the Chicago Bears!", and jumps off the mountain top. The Packers fan, not wanting to be outdone by his rival also yells at the top of his lungs, "This is for the Green Bay Packers!", and jumps off the mountain top.

Now it was the Bengals fan's turn. And knowing that he is the most loyal fan in all of football, he yells at the top of his lungs, "This is for the Cincinnati Bengals!", and pushes the Steelers fan off the mountain.
