Calling for rain Sunday

Well, you never know why people are being quiet.  For example, I have high blood pressure, but I still like seeing the games in person.  So when I'm at the game, I'm quiet and not screaming my throat bloody.  To other fans, perhaps it appears I'm not "pulling my weight," but the last thing I need to be doing is behaving in that fashion, for obvious reasons.  But, I have no problem with others making noise if they want to.  I mean, it is a football game after all, so I expect that, and enjoy it, too.  


My quiet demeanor hasn't led to many discussions with my seatmates, but there was a dufus in the row behind me at the Dallas game a few years back that tried to "motivate" me to be loud.  He kept saying 'Dude, get up!  Make some noise!' or some variation over and over again.  He just kept at it.  I finally texted the jerk line on his alcoholic ass after he grabbed and shook my shoulders.  The staff responded promptly to my text and asked him nicely to behave himself.  He refused and got into a shouting match with them, after which he was escorted out to everyone's delight.  

Now, I'm not suggesting that's how you have acted or how you plan to act at games, so, I'm not impugning your behavior.  Your post just touched a nerve, I guess, and brought that Dallas experience to mind.  Bottom line, people have every right to be quiet at the game if they choose to do so.  My .02.  

It would assuredly be less than four hours for the hometown folks.

I remember a prime time game against the Ravens (think it was a Thursday) where it rained, and rained, and rained.  

I think Jonathon Joseph knocked down something like 5 passes, but couldn't pick any off.  The Bengals won the game, so I didn't care at all about the soaked hour drive back to Centerville.  It was a pretty cold and miserable night, though.  But I was happy.
