I don't know, I often see you accuse people of "squealing", "crying", "whining", etc. when it seems like simple joking or it's just a different view than your own. And it seems desperate to me. I mean, when in doubt, paint people as extremes, right? When you can't counter an argument or someone's take is different than your own, make them seem unreasonable.
-Want a free agent? You want Albert Haynesworth.
-Want to be more active in Free Agency? You want to be the Bucaneers or Redskins.
-Want some postseason success? You wouldn't be happy unless we win a Superbowl.
-Poke fun at the team for resigning Brandon Tate for the 8th time? You're squealing and crying.
The only one I see whining in this thread is you. Resorting to calling people a bunch of crybabies because they're joking around about signing TJ Johnson.
I think the issue is that it is always the same folk "poking fun".
But as you say:
Happy with the team? You settle for medicrity
Content with the FAs we sign? Don't want the team to improve
Proud of the Bengals regualr season performances? Don't care about post-season success
I'm sure the Boy that cried Wolf thought he was just being "light hearted" but after a while the town's folks grew tired of hearing him none the less.
