For a lot of us, this is the place to vent, celebrate, and cry in our beers in our sports life.  So, while it may seem over the top at times, bear in mind, this place is dedicated to a sports team, and sports world, and real world are two different things.  Like I said, I remember Super Bowl runs, making trades for complementary players, accountability, and then the abyss.  It's like building your own business, and then handing it over to a spoiled child and watching helplessly as they drive it into a hot pile of ashes.  No one likes that shit.

Agree,

I grew up in the 70's and 80's watching the Bengals and Buckeyes with my dad and they'll always be my teams. I was watching the game the Steeler DT tried to break Kenny Anderson neck with a face mask. I was watching the game Pete Johnson knocked Jack Lambert into to next week on MNF, early 80's. Watched him fail at the goal line in the SB. I was here and watched Tim Krumrie's foot go spinning around off Roger Craig's knee.

I'm not saying I'm special there's many right there with me. What I'm saying is I was a fan before Mikey took over and back then there was hope.

I'm sick to damn dog death of Mike's running this team into the ground ! He's going to have to prove to me he's really trying to win this time and not just save money or I'll be metal detecting on Sundays this fall.
