EVERYONE here prefers Lombardi trophies to losing playoff games.  You think that makes you sound special, but it doesn't.  It just makes you sound like the type of person who has to put others down in order to build yourself up.

If you really do believe that everything less than #1 is "losing" then own it.  You have never been #1 at anything so therefore you are a loser.  Same applies to everyone here.  None of us have won national championships, or scored perfect on the ACT, or ran a business that was #1 in the world.  Your wife/girlfriend did not win Miss America.  Your kids did not graduate #1 from an Ivy League school.  That means you are 100% a loser.  


Bragging about having "higher standards" is a childish way to try and make yourself look better.  

EVERYONE here prefers Lombardi trophies to losing playoff games.  You think that makes you sound special, but it doesn't. ---I don't think it makes me sound special, that's your opinion.

It just makes you sound like the type of person who has to put others down in order to build yourself up.---Who am I putting down? Folks who accept mediocracy, those that just want to be competitive?

If you really do believe that everything less than #1 is "losing" then own it.--- It's all about ones mentality Mr. Toast, what's considered being successful to one person maybe considered failure to someone else. No team can be #1 every year, but not trying to be #1 every year is a loser's mentality. I stand by what I said, I OWN it.


You have never been #1 at anything so therefore you are a loser.  Same applies to everyone here.---Again you don't know me or anyone here; so unless you have some magical ability that gives you insight into the private lives of the posters here, I call bullshit.

The things you listed are but a few of the things that one can be #1 at, for example: One could win a local fishing tournament and be considered the #1 fisherman or woman in that area, doesn't mean they're the world's best fisherman . The Bills won the AFC many years in a row, yet some consider then failures for losing the Superbowl four years in a row.  Some folks see the glass half full yada, yada, yada.


Bragging about having "higher standards" is a childish way to try and make yourself look better.---How so? Should you not strive to be #1 every season, I don't believe that's bragging. If wanting the Bengals to finish #1 every year rather than settle for being mediocre at best or just being"competitive" then put me down as being a child, I'll own that too.
