	On December 10, 1989, during a game versus the [[Seattle Seahawks]], Bengals fans began to throw snowballs onto the field in protest of what they believed to be a bad call by the officials. The Seahawks, who were at their own 4-yard line and an easy target from the bleachers, refused to continue until the snowball-throwing stopped, and play was halted by the officials. In order to stop the onslaught, Wyche was given a house microphone to try to calm the crowd.

	On December 10, 1989, during a game versus the [[Seattle Seahawks]], Bengals fans began to throw snowballs onto the field in protest of what they believed to be a bad call by the officials. The Seahawks, who were at their own 4-yard line and an easy target from the bleachers, refused to continue until the snowball-throwing stopped, and play was halted by the officials. In order to stop the onslaught, Wyche was given a house microphone to try to calm the crowd. Wyche chided the fans who were doing the throwing, and alluded to the reputation of their [[Bengals–Browns rivalry\|in-state rivals]], the [[Cleveland Browns]]:<ref name="you don't live in Cleveland">{{YouTube\|id=yJMa20xXykI\|title=Sam Wyche 'You don't live in Cleveland' speech}}</ref>		On December 10, 1989, during a game versus the [[Seattle Seahawks]], Bengals fans began to throw snowballs onto the field in protest of what they believed to be a bad call by the officials.
