I'm having a hard time

So the Bengals are now at over 50.  I got to the point where I now realize that no matter how much my passion or hope I have for this team - I have zero control over the outcome.   And of course - the advent of fantasy football has actually made me able to enjoy the play of other players and able to take the sting out of zero Bengals championships.  So I highly recommend keeping a stash of coldies in the frig, maintain some nice stereo equipment and when your feeling a little down - pop one (or four as the case may be) and sit back and enjoy the Ozzy!  Enjoy the ride - not the perceived destination.

Just dug this quick tid bit up - pasting below. You shouldn't feel so bad now! 

There are 13 NFL franchises that have not won a Super Bowl. The Bengals, Bills, Browns, Cardinals, Chargers, Eagles, Falcons, Jaguars, Lions, Panthers, Texans, Titans and Vikings have not won a Super Bowl in their history. The Browns, Jaguars, Lions and Texans have never reached the Super Bowl.Jan 21, 2018

Nice. Change Ozzy to Limp Bizkuit and this was almost a paw punched thread from HD. I do it all for the nookie.

Just thought, this would be a great song to play at the stadium.
