Remember those stories about Red Sox fans who saw their team win the World Series in 2004 and rejoiced because they could finally die saying they saw their team win a World Series? Well this is the opposite of those stories, and it centers on the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Upside Of Death? You Don’t Have To Watch The Bengals Lose Again
From Saul Shuller’s obituary in the Cinncinati Enquirer last week:
“He just made life joyous,” said his daughter, Barbara Hahn of Indian Hill. “He liked to tinker. He loved electronics. He was a comedian and a storyteller par excellence. You couldn’t ask him a question and get a one-word answer. He’d say, ‘Let me tell you a story about that.”
Mr. Shuller died Sunday.
Accepting that the end was near, the funny grandfather and great-grandfather said earlier in the day there was an upside to death: at least he wouldn’t have to watch another Bengals loss.
And that, my friends, is what it's like to be a Bengals fan in the Mike Brown era.
Really though: In the name of the late, 95 year-old Saul Schuller, here’s to hoping that maybe, one day, eventually, Saul’s Bengals can get it together and finally bring a Super Bowl to the Queen City. And whenever it happens, let’s hope Saul can watch somewhere.
