I paid to see the last season of Burrow/Chase/Higgins.
I did not pay for shithead forfeit reality TV over millionaire anal inflammation.
Every game counts. Home field matters. I want an AFC title win in Cincinnati. It's all I want. That's it. I want to know what that feels like. I want to take my son to that game and have him remember it until his last day with me.
It might never happen. That's fine. So long as it goes down in good faith.
If this season gets torpedoed over goddamned money and butthurt "hold-ins", then I am done with NFL football.
It's a drain on my mental energy and a waste of my time and hard work. I've never been less enthusiastic about a season than I am this year and it's 100 percent because of this contract horseshit. I just don't have it in me anymore. I work my ass off to provide. I wanted to build memories with my son. Now I have to explain why his favorite player may or may not show up for work on one of the 17 days a year that it actually matters.
I've met Tee and Ja'marr. Both positive experiences after they had my hard-earned cash. Smiles and pictures. Now they shit on us and flush our season down the toilet.
Maybe these guys should try to remember who makes it possible for them to be millionaires.
I hope Iosivas, Irwin, Gesicki, Burton, and Charlie Jones look like the Patriots of the 2010s. I hope that the bottom drops out of the receiver market. I hope these assbags end up like running backs. I hope Joey B looks like the 55m qb that he is behind the best OL he's ever had.
In short, I want Tee and Ja'marr to see an offense succeed in their absence. Make them eat it.
I think Burrow can do well with our other cast, but it won't matter much unless the old Lou Anarumo and Defense shows up. Our defense doesn't belong in this division lately. The other defenses are superbowl caliber. If only we had the Browns or steelers D, where it doesn't matter what we do on offense and still make the playoffs. Maybe no Tee and no Chase is a glimpse for us into how good Burrow is and what the future might look like - lol.
Jealousy in young people is a real thing, even in old people. A 24 year old is not going to like someone else producing or making it seem like they're not as needed. This was MIxon's problem for a long time, whenever our 2nd RB came in and rip off a 10 yarder, he seemed to run harder the rest of the game lol.
