Pastor Stephen Grant was born and raised in the Cincinnati area. And yes, he is a Bengals fan, and excited about Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the Chiefs.
Here are a few Bengals moments from the Pastor Stephen Grant thrillers and mysteries…
A couple of hours later, Grant was sitting on the couch in the plane’s cabin next to Jessica West. On the other side of him, Chase Axelrod was in a separate seat. They were gathered in front of a large screen, with the Super Bowl kickoff just a few minutes away.
Axelrod asked, “Do you have a dog in this fight, Stephen?”
“No, unfortunately, I’m a Bengals fan.”
“Bengals?”
Grant nodded. “I grew up in the Cincinnati area. The Reds and Bengals are in my blood, you could say. What about you two?” He glanced at Axelrod and West.

After slipping on a pair of dark sweatpants, a t-shirt, a hoodie with a zip front, and a Cincinnati Bengals knit hat, with a rather wild pom-pom sitting atop, he stepped out the front door of St. Mark’s parsonage. Fortunately, the crisp air was unusually still for early February. Grant stretched, and in a few minutes, was at full stride.

The relative quiet of their discussion was broken by Stephen bolting upright on the couch, disturbing Jennifer’s head that had been resting on his shoulder. “Go, yes, go!”
Everyone in the room turned to look at the television screen that had captured Stephen’s attention. The Bengals kick returner found a hole, faked around two members of the Seahawks special teams, and now was sprinting by Seattle’s helpless kicker to return the second half kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown.

Glenn asked Jennifer, “Does he always sulk like this?”
“Actually, Glenn, the only time my take-the-hill husband sulks is when it comes to the Reds and Bengals.”
Stephen smiled, kissed Jennifer on the cheek, and said, “True enough.”
