Telling quote from Carson Palmer

(07-30-2015, 12:22 AM)WhoDeyWho Wrote: The Raiders didn't win a SB 15 years ago.  And in between those one n dones were 16 games seasons in which week in and week out the Bengals were playing in meaningful games, which made for some very fun weekends over the course of those seasons.  Surely there is something to be said for that.  It's sort of why I like going to the games.

Now on the other hand, my favorite baseball team was done playing meaningful games after the first month of the season.  So what they won a World Series trophy 25 years ago.  That really isn't doing much for me today.  

Like I said, to each his own.  4 straight 12th places does less for me than being 1st place in the world 15+ years ago...er, I think.  Like you said, we can say the Bengals have played meaningful football for 16 weeks for the past 4 years, but when it terminates in 4-straight embarrassing opening weekends it might lose some luster.

As exciting as playoff football can get I wasn't exactly sailing on cloud 9 happy for at least 2 of the 4 games, but I'm a downer.
