Former Bengals tight end from Orlando cheers on old team at Super Bowl
Super Bowl Sunday has been a long time coming for Tony McGee."I was standing out on my balcony yelling, 'Who Dey, Who Dey,'" former Bengals tight end said.McGee watched the AFC Championship game from his home in Orlando as the Bengals beat the Chiefs in an overtime victory 27-24. Now, he is about to watch the Bengals return to the big game for the first time in 34 years. "You feel a joy inside, you feel happy for the organization, for the city of Cincinnati," McGee said. "And as you're sitting on the couch, you're always thinking, 'Man, I can get in for one play,' because that's the competitive spirit with all athletes and former athletes. You're always thinking, 'I can do it.’"McGee spent nine years with the Bengals in his 11-year journey in the NFL. He will be heading to LA to watch his former team play and is confident that Joe Burrow and the Bengals will be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy Sunday night. "I think in order to win a Super Bowl you have to have a big three and you got Mixon, you got Burrow, you got Ja'Marr Chase. I mean, these guys are ligament young guys. They got a good core nucleus," McGee said. Quarterback Joe Burrow won a national championship title while he was in college at LSU. Burrow is in his second season in the NFL and now has a shot at winning a Super Bowl title, too. The way McGee sees it, there is nothing holding him back from claiming another trophy."The ball will be in Joe Burrow's hands at the end of the game and this guy has won at every level," McGee said. "I feel like he can do it at this level too, so I'm taking Cincinnati by three. They've won every other game by three. Why should we change the formula now?"
