From The Vault: Do Cincinnati Bengals owe their name to a stove?
To hear Hal Pennington tell it, the Cincinnati Bengals, founded by football great Paul Brown some 50 years ago, owe their name to a stove in Pennington’s mother’s kitchen. The story goes back 80 years to when Pennington formed and coached the original Cincinnati Bengals in 1937 – when Brown was still coaching at Massillon Washington High School in northeast Ohio.
