15. In '71 it was raucous fun for an hour or two and then it went bad...
cars overturned and set ablaze...store windows smashed...

I sensed something was not right and walked out just before the violence started...

16. Nice pathetic attempt to gripe about a team who continuously beats yours

I did hear very enthusiastic Steelers fans cheer their team to victory.
Funny... I didn't hear any Bengals fans there at all...

Still, I managed to have a great time and a kicking party here in Cleveland. Even asthmaticeog was cheering by evening's end. :)
