Meet The Team
Alex Frank
I'm Alex Frank, a contributor to Stripe Hype. I've been covering the Bengals since 2017 and have been a fan since I was born in 1998. My family has had Season Tickets since 1968, and I've seen every game since Week 12 of 2004-- the 58-48 game against that team from Cleveland. In addition to Stripe Hype, I host the Bengals Squad Show on the Locked On Podcast Network and also cover the Kentucky Wildcats for FanSided. The columns I write comes from priding myself on being original and analytical, which comes from reading the works of great and prominent sports media personalities across Cincinnati and America. Outside of the Bengals and sports, I enjoy spending time with family and friend, running-- I've run six half marathons-- and watching reality television, especially Survivor and Big Brother.

About FanSided
The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage. From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
