Fireworks during the player intros - taken with my blackberry.
Back in the day, when I used to school my little brother in Super Tecmo football (playing with the Bengals of course), I used to annoy him greatly playing CCR's "Run through the Jungle" or singing the first line of GNR's "Welcome to the Jungle." So it brought a smile to my face when portions of both songs were played to pump up the crowd before kickoff at the Bengals vs Bears game at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati this last Sunday (Riverfront stadium was the original "Jungle" but the name has transferred over to the new stadium as well). What a great afternoon of football! The Bengals dominated and I had a blast... I also got to spend some quality time with an old college friend and his dad and once again saw their Bears fall to my Bengals. Poor guys... I'm glad they are good sports! Below are some photos of the game and stadium. Enjoy and click on a photo for a larger file to view.Bengal offense at midfield

Cedric Benson looks for the hole

And gets through for a 8 or 9 yard gain

Carson Palmer double pumps and sees Chad breaking free in the endzone.

Squeezes it and does the toe tap... Bengals up 14-0

This shot shows you our seats and the photos above were taken with my long lens from that seat.
