- For the first time in over 30 years, the Cincinnati Bengals made it to the Super Bowl and Cincinnatians are going crazy over this! From people chugging cans of chili, to schools giving a day off and merch stands popping up all over the city, these past two weeks have been full of excitement and anticipation in the city. To let you guys in on what this feels like to people who have rooted for the Bengals their whole lives and have stuck around throughout years of struggle and defeat, I asked my boyfriend Ben to join me for this video and share his perspective on tomorrow's game and the emotional rollercoaster of being a Cincinnati sports fan.
Are you going to watch the Super Bowl tomorrow? Who are you rooting for? Let us know in the comments below!

ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 27, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

Are you going to watch the Super Bowl tomorrow? Who are you rooting for? Let us know in the comments below! 😊👇
**Remark from Ben: I didn't quite finish my thought around 10:01. I meant to say that other number one quarterbacks have led their team to the Super Bowl but not as early as Jow Burrow. Here is a great article on CBS Sports on that: bit.ly/3Bgcefh
Bayern Muenchen all the way!
I’m a diehard Browns fan, but I have to root for the Bengals tomorrow night. My mom, sister and brother in law are all Bengals fans. Ohio pride!💪🏻
absolutely! WHO-DEY! life-long Bengals fan!
Fun Fact: Originally, the Super Bowl was called the Superb Owl.
Rooting for the Bengals. Living in the Valley of the Sun
I would like a video showing Ben’s culture shock when he was in Germany.
We've all grown to love and appreciate Feli over the years, and Ben really is a great addition to this community. He just seems like a solid, good man whose heart is in the right place.
I'll also be rooting for the Bengals, but I have a sinking feeling the Rams will take this one.
Thats so sweet of you, Slutty McTits!
lo, nice name...
Gosh, you guys are so stinkin' cute!!! Adorable Feli!!! And the kitty...OMG!!! This is an awesome video. My nephew had Leukemia until it killed him at 11 years old in December 2007, his favorite team was the Bengals. He lived in Florence Kentucky. The team came to his house and watched TV with him, and hung out. They also allowed him to visit their locker room and watch the games at the stadium. Ever since then they've become my favorite football team. They treated him so well.
WHAT A HEART WARMING BUT SAD STORY.. BUT THE TEAM CAME THRU TO MAKE HIM HAPPY BEFORE HE PASSED AT SUCH A... VERY YOUNG AGE
MY NEPHEW ALSO DIED YOUNG SO I KNOW HOW SAD YOU MUST BE. THANK GOD THERE ARE. SOME GOOD PEOPLE LEFT IN THIS WORLD TO HELP US GET THROUGH THE DIFFICULT TIMES IN OUR LIVES. GOD BLESS YOU.
Felicia, You have experssions we haven't seen before when you look at Ben! All good and I think I speak for all when I say we all hope it goes well for the two of you!
You can really tell that they're really into each other by how easily they maintain eye contact. And the look on their faces when the hold that eye contact. You make a great couple!! Happy for you both. Love seeing Feli so happy!
Did you know that heart rates synchronise when people are in love? And that happens without touching each other.
I’m 67 and I waited most of my adult life for my Philadelphia Eagles to win the SB. Anything is possible as your Bengals have demonstrated. Good luck Cincy!
Yes, and they beat Tom Brady and Bill Belichick!
Hope there isn't a trucker blockade . They have us by the coyennes up here in Canada
God that was such an epic game too. And after an epic season. Not even an Eagles fan but it was awesome. And you beat Brady's Patriots too!
@@jrutt2675 We in New England are still trying to figure out how The Patriots blew that game….
This is a good sign for both of you. Maybe the Cinderella story will happen for the Bengals. Last famous player I knew for the Bengals was Boomer Esiason. My team is Tom Brady (Pat's, Bucs). After them I like Chiefs, then Bills, Vikings, and Eagles in that order. I'm rooting for the Bengals this Superbowl. Go Burrow and Chase! Ben is a real Kentuckian- he knows his sports :)) Feli, if your team wins, promise us you will cover the victory parade!! You are so good at covering positive events!
Post game: it was a close game. Either side had a chance to win. I think keeping Burrow in the pocket failed in the end as his protection collapsed play after play. Wished they had him roll out more. Losing is agonizing.
Do you remember the Ickey shuffle?
Ickey Woods! Yeah I used to imitate the ickey shuffle hahah
@@letterbox203 That's funny as hell! Me too!😂
Chad OchoCinco Johnson
Prolific receiver!
From an absolute _diehard_ Steelers fan, I can only say congrats. And for Cinci fans that stayed true to their team for three decades of bungling--as weird as it feels for me to say--you deserve it. I'll root for the Bengals to represent the AFCN and reward the fans that didn't quit on them.
Probably there are tough years ahead for the steelers. The AFCN used to be Steelers or Ravens, with the Browns and the Bengals as canon fodder. Now that Big Ben is gone, and Burrows is really good, and even the Browns are kinda good, things can become the other way around.
That's right. If not your team, then root for the team from your division.
@@revkrull Na, I'm going with the Rams and Stafford. He played in Detroit for a long time, without complaining. He deserves it, at the end of his career. The Bengals will have some chances in the future.
Yeah, also a diehard Steeler fan, and I was rooting for the Bengals to win. After all, isn't this the year of the Tiger? It would have been nice to keep the Lombardi in the AFC North. But that was not to be. With the Steelers about to go into rebuilding phase, this is the Bengals' and Browns' chance. To date the only NFL division where every team has won the SB at least once is the NFCE. Who would have thought?
@@paulkenny5052 Haha, yup. I got a little too comfortable with being the Bengals being bottom-feeders. Never imagined I'd see them turnaround so dramatically. Plus, I don't hate any of their players anymore. Burfict and Pac Man aren't around anymore to foul up their playoff chances. So, I guess a successful rebuild was in the cards eventually.
Ben, I am your dad's age. I grew up in Dallas, and back then the Cowboys were like the Patriots. We just went to the playoffs every year like clockwork. Then, after a few down years the great Jimmy Johnson came along and rebuilt the team into a mini dynasty, and we won 3 super bowls in 4 years in the early 90s. Now, my Cowboys have taken the Bengals place as the most hapless, underachieving team of the last 25 years. This year was the same ole story. One and done in the playoffs. Count yourself lucky to be a Bengals fan. The arrow is pointing up BIG TIME for you guys. Joe Burrow is the second coming of Joe Montana. He's that great! I hope you guys win tomorrow. I am for the Bengals all the way.
I'm an American. In 2010, I remember, I was in Bamberg Germany, staying up all night in a Scottish bar, watching the American Super Bowl. Great memories. Go Bengals.
In Germany, at a Scottish bar, watching American football. You can't get more international than that!
@@antifactoid Most Germans don't give a shit about the Super bowl. So if you want to watch it, you either have to do it on your own, or find an american or other bar that will broadcast it.
For anyone who is more familiar with soccer than American football, this is essentially the equivalent to a team like Thailand (or another similarly poor team) not only making it to the World Cup group stage for the first time in 20 years, but beating multiple teams like Spain, France, and Germany en route to the World Cup final. Two years ago the Bengals were by far the worst team in the league with just a 0.125 winning percentage, and last year they won 4 of 16 games. It’s a huge deal.
I think the best comparison would be Greece winning the euros in 2004(?) or Leicester city winning the premier League a few years ago. Probably not as impressive since American sports don't have relegation so Cincinnati have played in the NFL every year
@@sie4431 you’re right, no relegation, which is why I’d used the World Cup scenario. I also considered champions league, but you can’t turn around from a 4-win year and win it the next as you wouldn’t qualify.
So, basically...
It would be as if the US won the World Cup?!?
@@williamherman9065 not even that. US failed to qualify last time, but they’ve previously qualified a number of times. It’d be like if they hadn’t qualified for the previous 5 runnings of the tournament.
Ben seems like a really nice guy and his mid-western roots show when he calls the Bengals the Bingles. Love to hear different accents!
I know how you feel - when my team -the Boston Red Sox - won the World Series for the first time since 1919, my world changed forever. I am all in for the Bengals. As another Boston team, the Celtics, fandom used to chant, "Beat LA"
I remember the heartbreak in 2003, and then the joy in 2004. I think you know what I'm talking about!
"Beat LA" is such an overused and tired chant mainly used by Bostonians and fans in NoCal (San Francisco/Oakland) Why? because you're jealous! You can't be sunny Southern California so you have to hate on it. Pathetic.
@@sjdrifter72 Yikes. The delusional self-aggrandization with this one is strong.
Pretty sure both the Celtics and Lakers viewed each other (and each other's star-studded HoF rosters) as the biggest threat to fulfilling their juggernaut franchises' goal of winning championships...and that's what fueled the rivalry in BOTH directions.
Or that thing about SoCal jealousy. Pfff
We older New England fans get it Ben. But honestly the Browns are kind of a bigger joke than the Bengals.
@@sjdrifter72 Sorry - in the esteemed palaver of Harvard University - You don't know shit from Shinola. The "Beat LA chant came about when the Celtics were about to lose and Eastern Conference final to the Philadelphia 76's - who would face the Lakers in the Championship.. To have an opponent's crowd give such encouragement made - and this is a direct quote - Daryl Dawkins dick hard.
Even with all the weird things going on in the world over the past two years, seeing the Bengals play well is the most surprising in my opinion.
Same honestly
It’s amazing when your team wins the super bowl,there’s a huge victory parade and the whole city comes out. I hope you get to experience it!
So excited for the Bengals ! Bring home the trophy Cincy! Great video! Thanks for sharing us about Ben. Excited for you guys.
Have a great weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!
Ben, I understand exactly how you feel talking about the Bengals. I'm from Chicago and I pretty much felt the same way watching the Cubs in the 2016 World Series. I do hope the Super Bowl turns out for you like that did for me.
Being from NY, I didn’t really care who won the Super Bowl….
….but now 😊, I’m rooting for the Bengals to support you guys. You’re both great together. 👉👍👌
That is so cute. I lived in the Dayton/Cincinnati area for the first 30 years of my life. Saw the 81 and 88 Bengals go to the Super Bowl, the Big Red Machine (Pete to the Hall of Fame!!) and the underdog Reds beat the A's in 1990 - Cincinnati is one of the greatest towns when their winning because the parties are great win or lose. Ben - do yourself a favor and now that Feli had immersed herself in Cincinnati, take a few minutes and learn that the Bundesliga is almost the size of the NFL and that Bayern Munich is always the team to beat year after year. Go Bengals!
I can totally relate to Ben’s emotions and enjoyed the video, guys. I live on the Michigan and Wisconsin border. We have mostly Packers fans here like me, but there are a lot of Lions fans as well. This is an interesting matchup in that, while the Bengals are America’s team favorite, Matthew Stafford is America’s player favorite. As Ben would know, Stafford toiled on the lowly Detroit Lions for 12 years. He never complained or blamed the team’s lack of success on others, so he’s earned the respect of a lot of fans. He doesn’t have many chances remaining to win a championship, and many feel like Joe Burrow, JaMarr Chase, Tee Higgins and company will get other chances to win. (Get used to winning in Cincinnati, Ben!) And the other player is Aaron Donald, who has been a great defensive tackle in the league for years but doesn’t have a championship ring. I’m cheering for the Rams but will be very happy for the Bengals, the city of Cincinnati, and their fans if they win. Good luck, and most of all, ENJOY THE RIDE! (Don’t get hung up on winning or losing)
This may be kinda random, but more videos on the couch, please. Just feeling welcoming.
I was born in 89... im from Minnesota, but I loved the Bengals when I was younger... I used to love Carl Pickens!
As a Vikings fan who has never win the SB... I know your pain. Good luck!
Same here the four super bowl loses nearly killed me.
Holy shit...a Carl Pickens reference in Felicia's comments section.
Pickens and Darnay Scott with Jeff Blake tossing pinpoint sideline bombs to them...ahhh, memories.
I'm quite a bit older than you BTW and grew up just over the border in Western WI. I loved Wesley Walker and loved the Jets' helmets as a kid (early 80's era), and it stuck with me.....unfortunately.
I randomly came across your video, but i also live in Cincinnati. I'm 41 so the last time the Bengals went to SuperBowl I was 8 years old. At that time, I thought that halftime show was the coolest thing ever. It was done in 3D and we had to wear those paper 3D glasses to watch it. I remember being so excited. Honestly as a female who isn't into football, I'm once again most excited for the halftime show. Everyone in it are all artists that I've grown up listening to and still listen too lol. I am very proud of our city and of the Bengals for coming this far, but the halftime show is what I'm looking forward too. 😬 Really cool to see someone from Cincinnati with a big channel. I'll have to browse your content and see what you have. In the meantime.... Who Dey! 🏈🐅
Cincinnati Bengals all the way! Two years ago, Joe Burrow led my beloved LSU Tigers to the national championship and the greatest season in college football history. I love the guy, and I greatly hope he gets a Super Bowl championship and brings that same joy that I felt two years ago to Cincinnati and all of its fans. Go Bengals!
I’m a Rams fan and I can say the Bengals played well. It was one of those games that it was a shame to see either team lose. I’m confident the Bengals will win the Super Bowl in the next few years.
And I remember the Big Red Machine. They were an awesome team. I’m a Cardinals fan and know when the Reds finally do win a World Series, you will have a memory that will be incredible.
Ben, as an Eagles fan who just saw his team's first super bowl win just a few years ago, know that I am fully pulling for the Bengals to pull this off.
Wonderful video! Love the addition of Ben, and love seeing you so happy!
You two are adorable! So happy for you guys. Nice vid.
I moved to Cincinnati from grad school in 1974. I was here to appreciate the '75 and '76 Reds. I watched the playoffs and Super Bowls in 1982 and 1989 ('88 season). As an "outsider," I have come to love this beautiful, complex, surprisingly cosmopolitan, and cultural city. Why is it cosmopolitan? Because of the huge multinational company, Procter & Gamble, where I was blessed to work for more than 36 years. Add GE jet engines and other companies to that experience, friends, and neighbors, and if you haven't looked in detail at this city, you have really missed the boat. This is the place of the 2020's.
I agree, I love living here! I always tell people that if they think uts a boring city (like Joe Burrow did recently, ironically), they just haven't explored it.
@@FelifromGermany It's just home.
1976 Reds and 2020 Dodgers are the two best baseball teams I've seen.
My condolences! I was definitely rooting for the Bengals! Such an awesome game, yet such a heart-break in the last minutes.
So wonderful of you to do this video today and share the Cincinnati excitement with us!!!
After that great game against the Chiefs, we were sold on rooting for the Bengals anyway, but your city's enthusiasm makes us want them to win even more!
Feli, you are a fun, and positive person here on youtube.. Thanks for what you have done in bridging german culture to the USA
The 1989 Superbowl was the first one that was broadcasted live in Germany. I rooted for the Bengals because a friend, who introduced me into football, spent a year in High School in Cincinnati. I'm a fan since then and I saw the Bengals playing twice in London. Most German football teams are bandwagon fans and support the Patriots, the Chiefs or the Bucs, and I was always kind of laughing stock with my passion for the Bengals. So I'm really, really happy now, and I do exactly think the same as Ben: If we don't win tonight, we will have some more chances in the next couple of years. WHO DEY!
Happy for both of you in your relationship ! Thank you for sharing your joy. Good luck in the Super Bowl !
Ben sounds like a cool, laid-back dude. He sounds like a good guy to be in a relationship with.
Even though I live in Cincinnati, Ben seems to remember more about the Bengals' prior Super Bowl appearances than I do, even though he probably wasn't born yet.
A couple Super Bowl phenomena probably worth more mention: Super Bowl party food, and the cery expensive commercials that are run during the game, although it seems to me the quality has declined since the costs and attention have increased and the top people in corporations have gotten more involved.
My first Superbowl happened to be SB XVI (Bengals - 49ers) while spending my student exchange year in the US. I've never missed one since, so this SB will be my 40th. BTW, I'll be watching from GER. WHO DEY
So glad you did this video Feli as this Super Bowl is massive for Cincinnati. I am British and have been a passionate Denver Broncos fan for over 30 years. But the rise of the Bengals over the last 2 years has been quite a story. Go Bengals!
This video was beyond relatable. Listening to Ben was like listening to my husband, who is also a lifelong fan.
Hallo Feli love your videos you’re facial expressions make my day,😂 Be careful they are very easy to read ,Ben is amazing addition love his earring 😂
I'm a Colts fan but I'm rooting for the Bengals. Go Bengals!!
Yay, European Colts fan here since 2005 and everyone laughed at me for choosing that team. The following year they all were pretty quiet :D
Very fun format and a nice addition to the regular videos. Good luck Bengals, my high school teammate played for the Bengals in ‘89!
I am cheering for the Bengals, so you guys can enjoy that winning feeling. I am from St. Louis originally and the Blues won the Stanley Cup in 2019 after 60+ years of losing. It was amazing feeling and I want type guys to feel that too.
I’m a lions fan. Matthew Stanford has been loyal to them for 12 years!!! Detroit loves #9!!!
I heard the somebody was selling "Detroit Rams" shirts! Like to see that the Motor City is still supporting Stafford!!! Good guy.
As a German I couldn't care less for Super Bowl. I recently learned that it is about Football and not about Bowling. 😂
@Paul Fellows I knew a Scouser (hope I got the spelling correct) and Go Reds!
@Paul Fellows Lets be honest, most people in Europe only know Super bowl due to the internet exposure and the show. Most don't give a damn about the game at all. I remember, they tried to do a small show during half time of the German cup like 3 - 4 years ago, and it did not fly well with the football fans at all.
Why? American football is exciting, you should open up your mind to it!
What a cool video! Was not expecting this but it makes sense. I’m not a Bengals fan myself but I’m happy for Bengals fans everywhere. I know a thing or two about a struggling team (as a Cowboys fan)
Your Bengals beat my Chiefs two weeks ago. Having the Chiefs in the Super Bowl the last two years has been really exciting. It is so much fun to be in a city that is playing. Enjoy it and good luck! Go Bengals!
I'm in Chicago & am rooting for the Bengals!! 🐯🏈
I've watched every Super Bowl since Super Bowl V. 👍
I am a Chicagoan and watched every Super Bowl, even rooted for the despised Green Bay Packers in 1 & 2 as they were the NFL and the Chiefs(1) and Raiders (2) were part of the upstart AFL.
@@ta11guy63 I wish the broadcasts of those first two SBs were available. I've watched the old broadcasts of SB III & IV.
I love when today's announcers make the occasional Hank Stram reference - "matriculating the ball down the field" ...
I’m a Browns fan and a Cleveland fan in general so before the Cavaliers won in 2016 I know how you felt, lol. I’m hoping the Bengals win because it’s Ohio vs. the World.
I beg to differ. It's the Rams vs the World. Nobody (especially the biased media) is rooting for the Rams to win despite them playing in their home stadium. And realistically, there are more Raiders fans in L.A. than there are Rams fans. So I hope my team silences the haters and wins the Super Bowl.
Best of luck! Ben makes a great addition to the channel. Can't wait to see the q & a video with you both
Good luck tomorrow! Lifelong Western Pa resident and Steeler fan. But I would love to see you guys win. If anybody deserves one, you guys do. Who dey!
As a Titans fan, I'm completely jealous. I had one experience in 2000 also against the Rams ( though then based in St Louis.) Cherish the moment. Go Bengals.
What are you guys eating for the game? Pizza and wings and maybe bratwurst?
@@mikep1341 your team should get one in the next 5 years. Munchak is not going anywhere. You have the new beast at running back!
Best episode. I'm a huge Niners fan. Disappointed we came up short this year. Do what we couldn't and crush the Rams! Go BENGALS!!!
I'm not an NFL fan, be I'm moderately amused that the Rams won a close from behind. There were a lot more San Francisco fans at the Rams play off game !
I am not surprised when Ben said the Rams had a small pep rally. The Rams returned after being gone to St Louis for so long, the Chargers are newish, and there are still a lot of LA Raider fans around. Ben is right that there are so many other things in LA that one or other team. There was more of a buzz when the Dodgers won the 2020 World Series after more than 30 years.
No way. Niners fans are just like Raiders fans, who act as if their team is all badass, but when was the last time the Niners WON a Super Bowl? and the Raiders? you guys haven't won anything in FOREVER. At least my Rams have done something those two teams haven't, won a Super Bowl in the 2000's.
@@sjdrifter72 😂🤣 y'all had to go silent count in your own stadium. Garbage fanbase
@@ZER0ZER0SE7EN Raiders don’t run LA, they haven’t even won a playoff game in 20 years, you think young angelenos are gonna support that trash? 😂
Congratulations to you both! And as a Steelers fan - Thumbs Up, Ben!
I am not a big sports fan either, but I can tell you that this kind of opportunities can be taken. I am from Brittany, near the city of Rennes and we had a point were, a few years ago, the soccer team of the Roazhon Park (which means Rennes Soccer Club in Breton) had to play against the parisian soccer team and they ended up winning. The atmosphere in the city was completely crazy, even for those who do not support soccer. And then they had to play against the soccer club of Arsenal in England, which is one of the best soccer teams ever, and the score ended up being something like 1 to 1 so it was a great year.
So not everything is lost, there is hope for your team !
I wouldn’t be sad to see the Bengals win the game. I’m a Philadelphia Eagles fan, but I’ll be rooting for the Bengals on Sunday.
Fun Joe Burrow fact: He won the national championship and heisman at LSU, also known as the Tigers or the Bayou Bengals. Before that, he played for Ohio State in Columbus.
We’re a long suffering Minnesota Vikings fan family. Today we’re definitely rooting for “The Bungles”. Feli, you’re a wonderful ambassador to the world. We love all your posts.
I'm an old dude so I remember when the Bengals were good back in the 1980s. I also went to high school with NFL Hall of Fame offensive lineman Anthony Munoz who anchored the Bengals offensive line BITD. So go Bengals!
I'll be watching--I like a lot of the Rams players though so I'm rooting for them. But I'll be ok if the Bengals win. I remember that Reds' World Series, lol. First World Series I ever watched. Good luck, Ben and Feli! May the best team win and it be a great game! P.S. I love when Ben is namedropping big football names from the past and Feli is just nodding all glazed over like, "Yes, yes, I know these names!" ;-)
I think most women have perfected that gaze. We're like "I have no idea who or what you're talking about, but it's adorable to see you so knowledgeable and passionate about something."
@@sluttymctits4496 You're probably right, lol.
I'm a Lions fan(don't laugh) and the minute Stafford leaves Detroit he ends up in the SuperBowl. lol. I don't have anything against the Bengals really, but I would like to see Matt Stafford get a ring for all his awesome playing over the years.
I would never laugh at anyone's NFL allegiances.
Sincerely, a Jets fan (who grew up in WI and now lives in MN)
I have friends, from SoCal, who are diehard Lions fans. We give them endless crap about it ... but I kinda like the Lions, too.
Congrats to the bengals. being a GB Packers fan my whole life and now part owner, the last two playoffs have been brutal. First the let's kick the field decision then our special teams collapsing this past year. Cherish this moment, because even with a good QB(and you guys have a damn good one), you guys might not get back to the super bowl for a while.
What makes him so sympathetic, that he is not a fan of a team, that always wins. To be such a fan is easy, but being a fan of a team, that has seen all the ups and downs in a league shows character. But it is also right from you that you involve him in your show.
As a 49ers Fan since I discovered American Football in the 80s (what’s kind of early for a German) I would have loved to see the 49ers beat the Bengals again in a SB. But since my team lost to the Rams I absolutely hope the Bengals will beat LA 😉
Who Dey 😄
I saw that game. It was really cold.
uhgg. I'm FROM San Fran and man despite being good for years and years we just have failure after failure. Stupid Harbough benching Alex Smith for Crapernick was an awful decision that I'm still mad at. Good to know Germans watch Football too.
Since you two are in Cincinnati, gotta ask - which park has the better rides, King's Island, Cedar Point, or Kentucky Kingdom? Or do you prefer Europa-Park in Germany?
I prefer the Autobahn.
As an LSU fan, I am pulling for Burrow,. Chase, Shelvin, and Moss (not active), so I have been cheering on the Bengals for the last two years! As a Saints fan, I feel you, Ben. We didn't make it to the Superbowl until I was older than you. It's a magic time. Enjoy the game!
cool episode, I know that energy and could feel it here. Nice boyfriend, great smile, good analysis. I also note Feli's Bengal colored flannel shirt, looking good. Go Bengals!! Go Cincinnati!! (and I'm busy making chili for the Superbowl)
I think Ben is going to have to switch allegiances from Real Madrid to Bayern Munich! Good luck Bengals!
He should go for 1860. That's a good local club. Bayern is like the Yankees.
Mich würden ja nur die Werbespots interessieren, aber leider werden die bei uns in Deutschland nicht mit übertragen!
You'll be able to see a compilation of Super Bowl commercials on You Tube a day later...
Rule of five is right. Do a TH-cam search in a few days.
Hol dir den Game Pass, dann haste auch die besseren Kommentatoren ;-)
Welcome to the loop, Ben! Feli & you make a great couple! I live in Montreal, but have been a Bengals fan since the days of Ken Anderson, suffering along with Cinci while the rest of the country called them the Bungles. I have my fingers crossed for Sunday, but that Rams pass rush has me worried for Joe Burrow.
You guys look good together!! I'm sure happy for the two of you. Wish your love lasts a lifetime 💕💕💕
WWWWHHHHHOOOOOOO DEEEEEEYYYYYYYY
y'all stole that from the saints?
Well I definitely know the struggle of having teams that traditionally suck lmao. The Minnesota Vikings haven't been in a Super Bowl since 1977 and have never won and the Minnesota Twins haven't been in/won a World Series since 1991. Way both before my time. We've also never won a Stanley Cup for hockey or NBA Finals for Basketball.
Hey I watch Vikings a lot. Some of the great players go through there like Stefan Diggs. They got another great Justin Jefferson. They got what it takes to win but need more discipline to prevent the penalties they incur.
@@letterbox203 yeah I'm hopeful that they'll improve eventually, since I agree they do have the potential, but I'm kinda used to mediocrity at this point.
@@ElizabethNicoleSchwartz that is their problem. If they got coaches from winning organizations they'd be deep in the post- season instantly, maybe even the superbowl
There were a bunch of years that LA did not even have an NFL team. Now there's two. There was a big gap between Dodger World Series wins, 1988 to 2020, and the Angels in 2002.
My favorite was the Kings Stanley Cup wins in 2012 & 2014.
@@ZER0ZER0SE7EN I'm glad they've experienced recent success. That's cool.
Happy for the Bengals fans. Enjoy the moment.
thats just enjoyable you guys keep doin this..
It is the year of the TIGER! GO BENGALS. JOE BURROW IS THE FUTURE OF FOOTBALL.
If it's the year of the Tiger, I hope the Detroit Tigers win the World Series this year. :). And hope the Lions do something phenomenal as well.
You can't expect the population in germany to love america football or american sports. As such as we do in america.
Some do, most don't. The sad thing is that most people in Germany know the super bowl for its show instead of its game.
I remember they tried to do a small show during the half time in the DFB Pokal Finale (soccer). The singer was basically booed off. Germans were like "what is this? I paid for soccer, not for a concert". Music shows and sports don't mix well in Germany/Europe at all, unlike in America.
Good to see you enjoying the experience of your team in the Super Bowl! We Jets fans are envious!
Life long Cubs fan here so I know how you feel about your team. Watched the World Series win and just sobbed when they won. I will be cheering the Bengals on. Cincinnati is one of my favorite cities.
Joe the Tiger King!
Bayern Muenchen all the way!
So I’m from Baton Rouge, LA home of the LSU Tigers. Joe Burrow, who is from SE Ohio, played there his last two years and led the team to the NCAA Championship, winning the Heisman Trophy along the way. He was picked #1 2 years ago. One of his receivers was Jamar Chase (Rookie of the Year) who was picked #1 last year. So in Louisiana, we have kinda adopted the Bengals (Bengals/Tigers 😂) as our favorite team after the Saints. Now Joe helped talk another LSU player to come to the Bengals as a free agent, La’el Collins, to shore up their somewhat undermanned offensive line. We cheered hard for Joe & Jamar and the rest of the team as the year went on and we’re disappointed that the didn’t win the Super Bowl, but hopefully one year soon.
Thank you SE Ohio for lending Joe to us for two years. He’s a freaking legend in Louisiana and we love him like one of our own!
Thank you for celebrating Cinci on your channel!!
Who Dey Ben! Great potcast Feli . Gooooo BENGALS. saludos from the only bengals fan in El Paso Tx
Congrats to your Bengals Ben even though they didn't quite finish it off. LSU graduate and Joe Burrow fan. Am watching a lot of Bengal games these days.
49ers Fan Here, but congratz to the Bengals Cuz I'll be rooting for yall!!
HI Feli (and Ben now, too)!! Your talk about chili, Cincinnati sports, and the Bengals being in tomorrow's Super Bowl has brought back many memories. I remain a big Reds fan, have been so since 1973, have even been to a few games in Cincinnati at both the old Riverfront Stadium and Great American Ball Park. Ben, this was long ago, before you were even a glint in your mother's eye, but I remember the summer of 1975 with the Big Red Machine. You hardly ever had to worry about if they got behind in a game, you always knew they were going to pull it out in the end. My best friend Rick and I would sit in his old Cutlass Ciera in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and listen to WLW (the signal is much better reception in the late evening and night) and the Reds games. It was a wonderful year. If only the Reds could be that good again, sigh. . .
I've had fresh Cincinnati chili over at the Blue Ash Grill in Blue Ash, the four-way (that had beans as the fourth ingredient) and it was pretty good. Here in Texas, I have seen that some of the grocery stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area offer Skyline Chili as a frozen dish. Uh, give me the fresh stuff instead. Skyline Chili is an acquired taste anyway. The native Texans especially would probably laugh at that chili, it wouldn't even make the cut at the many Texas chili cook-offs. But with the right spices, it can be interesting - the Blue Ash chili used cinnamon as an ingredient. Don't know if they are still open, I recommend trying it out if they still are.
I'm a Packers fan, so my role will be a disinterested observer. I am happy the Packers handed the Bengals a loss in their building this past season, it's the only thing I have to hang onto since the miserable performance of the Packers special teams in the San Francisco game. But good luck to you Bengals fans, hope things turn out well for you. Enjoy the game, and each other's company tomorrow. Many best wishes for your future together, too.
Excellent post - and this guy is a keeper.
Sorry guys, us up here in Detroit are looking for a Rams victory!!! Matthew Stafford was our boy on the Lions for 12 long years with nothing but crap supporting him. Now he finally is where he should be. We couldn't be more proud of him & way to go LA for helping him get there!!!
Okay, I can not wait to the end of this video to comment. 1st, as someone from New England I can relate to the euphoria Cincinnati is experiencing - for years our Red Sox motto was: "Wait till next year." And if you look into the past performances of the Patriots - prior to the "Brady" years of course - they were in a protracted funk as well. Congrats to the Bengals - as a NH resident I don't have a dog in this hunt, but I am rooting for the Bengals - for sure. If I may paraphrase our Pats call to glory - "GO CATS"
Cincinnatian here! Who DEY! Cried after the Tennessee game and KC game. I woke up the next day not believing it. 🧡🖤🧡
Congratulations.
I hope they win Ben.
Enjoy the Game.
I am watching because of you and I'm rooting for the Bengals!
You guys are awesome !!!!
I will watch the Super Bowl just like every year. But as a german, i never had a favourite team. I just enjoyed the game. That all changed this year. This time, becaue of you, Josh and especially the live long fan Ben, i will be certainly be rooting for the Bengals. Best of luck and enjoy the game guys.
Steelers fan. After 50 years of beating up on the Bengals, it's your turn to beat up on us. We will be bad for some years and you can watch Joe Burrow pick us apart for 15 years. Ben, that Munich game sounds like a great trip!
Go Bengals!! My boyfriend and I, who is a huge Bengals fan (he lived in Chillicothe Ohio for 25 years and has season tickets to Bengals games)… are in Vegas right now and will be watching tomorrow from one of the big casino/resorts!
He moved out to Oregon last July to be with me. We first met in the 8th grade. We both love football and all sports. Life is good.
Thanks for sharing your perspectives on this topic. 🏈🤩
Ben's enthusiasm for the Bengals was like mine for the Cubs in 2016. Love to see it.
I don’t know anything else about him, but I love this dude. I feel like we could sit and at least talk sports (even being a lifelong Steelers, Pirates, and Pens fan). If for no other reason than sports, Ben was a good pick, Feli.
