Jesse and Corey Fischer, brothers from Warsaw, OH have been Bengals Season Ticket Holders since 2006. Going back to 1996, they routinely made the 3 hour trip from their home to attend Bengals games, racking up a total spent on the Bengals, including tickets, merchandise, parking, tailgating supplies of $17,357.98 over the 15 years they have spent supporting the team.
But not anymore.
As Jesse wrote to WDR, "My brother and I have made the not-so-difficult decision to not renew our season tickets. We received a past-due notice, with the now infamous "Marvin begs to not break-up" letter last week. We've decided it's high time the Bengals paid us back for their transgressions.
Best part? The line items for "paper bags for head" and "Pepto Bismol and Excedrin."
Until more fans step up, emulate the Fischer's and stop supporting this team, nothing will change. So save your money and stop supporting mediocrity.
You can see more about the Fischer's invoice in a story done last night by Fox 19.
They forgot to include the cost of the jerseys they were wearing as well as other merchandise they likely bought.

Jeff, that would be in the 'Merchandise' section. $3,500. That would cover quite a few jerseys.

what a douche, do you really believe they sent the letter expecting MIke and the gang to acquiesce? And making something plural doesn't require the use of an apostrophe. HAHAHAHAHA, sometimes it feels good to be petty! Anyway, I saw this on 19 and thought, "Love it, the Brown family collectively owes this city about 1000 times that much for the last 21 years."

Long time reader, first time poster.. I decided to part ways with my tickets this year as well... I went to nearly every game from 03-07 with my father in law and brothers in law, then bought tickets and seat license in 07 until this year. I sold every ticket but 2 games the last 2 years, but this offseason I decided I'd had enough. The only reason I kept them 2 years ago was because I didn't want to lose the seat license money. Then I received those awesome trading cards and a heartfelt letter from Marv telling me how "the Bengals are one of only 3 teams to win a divisional championship the last 10 years and NOT lose a road playoff game"... or something like that. I hope the stadium is empty and every game is blacked out, forcing me to listen to the upbeat, positive stylings of lap and brad for 1 more year... I'm rambling. Finally, Go Reds.

First time I tuned in for several days -- nothing has changed. Mike Brown continues with his Louis XIV imitation, and Cincinnati continues to fail in its search for a guillotine.
Maybe a future Project Mayhem action plan could be a take off on storming the Bastille. Fans with pitchforks and torches could approach PBS on game day, force security to unlock the gates and allow all fans to rush out before being forced to witness another loss.

Undoubtedly the cartoon conveys the meaning that life is like the process of running in which one should make constant efforts and never stop making progress.
