Bengals fan keeping pledge to live on restaurant roof until team wins
Bengals fan Jeff Lanham has been living on the roof of his restaurant for over a month thanks to a bet he made after Cincinnati's Week 5 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Lanham, who owns the Hog Rock Cafe in Milan, Indiana, pledged to camp out on top of the restaurant until the Bengals win a game this season. The team is now 0-9.
"It's so boring, man," Lanham told Brad Underwood of WKRC. "You get bored to death during the day. You can't do anything. You can't go nowhere. You just sit here."

As bored as he is, Lanham plans to stick to his pledge.
"I hate not being around my family. That's probably the worst part, not being around the family," he said. "But I'm going to stick with my word and eventually they have to win."
Up next for the Bengals is a matchup against the Oakland Raiders, who are riding a two-game win streak.
