The Bengals Super Bowl was last night. And they blew it..............Again.

I will be going with a buddy of mine.  There's been so much losing over the years, and so many times I went to PBS and even Riverfront when the game didn't mean a damn thing, and it was cold and crappy outside and there were only 40,000 in the place, that one more time won't faze me.  It's not for everyone, granted, and I can't blame any STH for throwing in the towel at this point and watching Redzone on a comfy couch. 

But, once we're realistically (if not mathematically) eliminated, it changes the focus of the game.  It becomes less "we've got to win today and then beat so-and-so and then hope that team X loses and blah blah blah" and instead becomes just about winning that day.  I remember 2002 when we were 1-14 at about Christmas time.  There was nothing to play for and the place was half empty.  Took a family member to the game and we had a good time just laughing about the season.  And, we got to see a win, too. 

So, I'll go and take a toy donation to give to the Marines, and just try to enjoy the day for what it is.
