Frustratingly, at time infuriatingly bad. That alone can breed some serious anger amongst the fan base. But it's no excuse for all that crap he listed. Sometimes a spade is just a spade: We do have a pretty pathetic fanbase.
Bullshit.
Consumers express their distaste in a plethora of ways.
Some cuss out their cable company. Others decide to just switch to satellite. But if we're going to observe the shit behavior of a few fans and decide that we're suddenly assholes to our team, let's talk about what we endured collectively prior to these episodes. We dealt with narrowly missing the Super Bowl, the son of a legend being a complete ****, ranging from ***** over Hamlinton Country with a stadium deal and sticking taxpayers to paying for a losing organization throughout the 90s and a 2000s era that was slightly better. We sat and watched as Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson grew older and frailer, knowing full and well that the team had what it took but needed changes that the organization refused to make. We watched as they eventually took their ball and went home. We're now gradually watching the SAME THING happen with Andy Dalton, AJ Green, and other players who as a whole amount to THE MOST TALENT this organization has and probably ever will have at their disposal. And where has it gotten us, five straight one and dones and an unlikely playoff appearance this year? Yeah, I think we have every right to cuss out our cable company right now.
