Happy Chinese New Year. The Chinese Zodiac makes this year the year of the Tiger. However I choose to know it as the year of the Bengals. After all, among NFL teams, the closest to a Tiger is the Bengal and the Cincinnati Bengals have just qualified for the Super Bowl. Yep, I can turn any event into a celebration of my Bengals. IT IS OUR YEAR. Go Bengals!
