In my original response to your assertion that nobody wants this team to lose; I didn't mention any names, nor have I at any point in this thread. I simply stated that there are those that do wish for this team to lose and provided examples of things said; not ANYONE who said them. Makes you wonder why some folks are kicking back so much. 

Methinks Thou doth protest too much

Call me egotistical, but I like to think my optimism in the GD thread has had a positive effect on Tony. IIRC, he used to be one of the "game over if the Bengals had a bad play in the 1st QTR kind of guys". We would certianly get into many ... discussions but now, I don't think he's said "game over" before the 4th QTR at all this season. He still complains about bad plays by the Bengals or bad calls by coaches, etc, but now it's more directed towards the players or coaches or even the team when necessary. But he doesn't say the 'game over' thing anymore AND I've even seen him post some positive stuff from time to time.

So, congrats, Tony! Hope you don't mind if I take credit for your turn around.
