Upgrade or downgrade?

[Mr. Scot]

No longer in a relationship with a Bucs fan. We mutually parted ways a while back (no, it wasn't over football).

Recently began a new relationship with a sweet lady who has a definite passion for watching football. But again, I'm going outside the fanbase.

This one's a Bengals fan. And honestly, she's not particularly high on the Panthers.

Aside from the other, more relevant factors, have I improved myself or not?

[MadHatter]

Definitely upgrade.

You can get the Brownie points with her by supporting the Bengals....at least it is in the AFC and not a division rival.

[Darth Biscuit]

Upgrade... Bengals are better than Bucs.

[Mr. Scot]

She grew up in Ohio, where the only pro choices were the Bengals and the Browns.

It's kind of a no-win situation :unsure:

[CarolinaNCSU]

Definite upgrade...unless she thinks Dalton is better than Cam.

[Wither]

Look on the bright side... both teams involve some type of cat. You must be meant for each other.

[charlotte49er]

Juat don't bring up the convicts on the Bengals team and you'll be OK.

Oh, and the 'Ben Gals" are hot,but you may want to avoid that subject as well. On a positive note, you can trash talk the other teams in their division without any problems.

You traded up.

[Mr. Scot]

Already brought up the "criminal players" thing.

She also already has plans for betting on the games, so if you see me with a ridiculous avatar/signature, you'll know why.

[FurdTurgason]

The Bengals were a pretty good franchise until Esiason left. They've been crap ever since Montana to Taylor.

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Absolute score.. Would be a dream second choice woman for me .. at least in terms of football tastes.

[Mr. Scot]

Sorry. This discussion is based solely on their football allegiances.

Made my own decisions on all the other factors.

[SmootsDaddy89]

grits has gotten desperate.

[Anybodyhome]

pussy is pussy, whether it be Panthers, Bengals....

She grew up in Ohio, where the only pro choices were the Bengals and the Browns.

It's kind of a no-win situation :unsure:

I take it she is from southern ohio?

Ohio is a dump, so at least you know she is smart enough to get the fug out of there. The smart ones from Ohio leave leave that place as soon as they can(see LeBron).

My SO is also from Ohio. Akron to be exact. I'm headed back up there at the end of the month.

First time I went up there like 3 years ago it was a culture shock. It's trashy. The cities are old and forgotten. Lot's of people with drinking problems and an undying love of tucking a t-shirt into jean shorts. Yuck.
