You already know the Ickey Shuffle, the Who Dey chant, and the helmet stripes. But do you know why a kitchen stove company from the 1930s gave the Bengals their name? Or that Paul Brown chose Cleveland's exact shade of orange just to spite Art Modell?
This book is for the fan who stayed loyal through a 31-year playoff win drought, who remembers the Freezer Bowl in detail, and who can explain why the no-huddle offense nearly got banned two hours before an AFC Championship Game. If you treat Bengals history with the kind of devotion that outsiders find baffling, these 200 facts were written for you.
200 deep-cut facts. 10 chapters. Every era from 1968 to the Burrow and Chase years.
From Paul Brown's calculated act of revenge against Art Modell to Evan McPherson telling his holder "Looks like we're going to the AFC Championship" before drilling the game-winner, this book covers the founding, the players, the coaches, the Super Bowl heartbreaks, the stadium deals, the rivalries, the ownership controversies, and the statistical oddities that define what it means to root for Cincinnati.
What makes this different from other Bengals trivia books:
Every fact is sourced and cited. A full bibliography is included at the back.
Whether you read straight through or flip to whatever chapter catches your eye, you will walk away with stories that surprise you and ammunition for your next tailgate argument.
