My definition of a 'homer' is a fan that realizes that he/she has no input to the team whatsoever, and does not spend time carrying on ranting and raving as if her/she were a coach and did have some say so in what happens, realizes they can only root for whatever hand the coaches deal him/her, hope for the best staying with a positive attitude, and hoping that things get better as the season(s) roll on, if the hate gets so heavy and he/she gets tired of hearing about, they refuse to debate it, stick with their team through thick and thin, go on with other much more important things in their lives and keep football and the Bengals in proper perspective.
I probably deserve a good stiff beating for thinking that this team was better than others thought. Heck, I even thought they should have kept Andy Dalton as our quarterback. See what I get for being such a subversive homer?
