Cincinnati Bengals 13th in CBS Sports Pre-Season Power Rankings

After months of fighting the good fight, telling everyone I know that the Bengals are going to be a good team, FINALLY, someone in the national media is starting to take notice as well.

Pete Prisco at CBS Sports has the Bengals ranked 13th in his Pre-Season power rankings.

What do we get for being number 13 in his power rankings? Not a thing.

Winning earns respect and 21 years without winning a playoff game EARNS you a spot at the bottom. Although these polls mean absolutely NOTHING, it is good to know that someone has taken notice to the amazing offseason that this team has had.

I like flying under the radar to a certain degree, but I think most people just discount the Cincinnati Bengals because they think they're being funny.

You know what I'm talking about, how many times have you heard a joke about the Bengals and one of the players being arrested? I mean it was funny THREE YEARS AGO....but damn, move on!

I wish people would at least TRY to be objective...oh well, I'm not going to get started.

Regardless of what people say, have faith Bengal nation...I think we are in for a very good year.

(And for the record, the mere fact that No. 53 (you know who he is) isn't on the team should guarantee us at LEAST three more wins and a quarterback with his nose intact for the entire season.)
