Bengals coach winning over cynical community

The Philadelphia Inquirer, CNNSI.com, and FOXSports.com are reporting this story from the Associated Press:

Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis, at a lunch for American Red Cross volunteers on Thursday, emphatically told the crowd that he's serious about transforming "the NFL's worst team, which hasn't had a winning season since 1990."

It appears that local residents are picking up the message. I look forward to seeing how the team will perform this coming season. I'm not expecting miraculous things to happen, but almost anything could be better than what we've had over the past thirteen years.
