Bengals football is about the only thing that brings me pain and misery.  I watched every game through the 90's, through the 2000's, the 2010's.  We get Burrow and Chase and finally it seems like the perpetual decade after decade of being a loser team with a loser FO with loser coaches and loser players was over.  It lasted 2 effing years.  2 EFFING YEARS.  And now it's back to the 90's, 2000's, 2010's AFTER 2 EFFING YEARS of fun.  I'm done.  I just cannot take this level of disappointment anymore.  

Yikes. Dude, if it hits you this hard, you should probably not watch games for awhile. This is not our year, but I get it. It used to be very painful for me to watch the Bengals lose year after year. Please trust me when I say I feel your pain. I find joy watching the games because I'm with my friends. We don't mourn losses anymore since it's common, and we have been seasoned since the 90's. 

It might help casually rooting for other teams. I've liked the Colts since John Kitna. Although those days are long passed. I also root for the underdogs a lot. I guess what I'm saying is, find joy in the sport you love to watch. I loved seeing the Browns beat the Ravens. I've been where you are currently. It sucks. Hope you find a way to enjoy again.
