I had a Bengals hoodie on and I encountered a set of parents wearing Tyler Eifert jerseys and after exchanging pleasantries while our children went to the door for candy, the man in the Eifert Jersey went off.
“I can’t stand that awful Dalton, “ he bellowed. “Thirty yard ‘Hail Mary’ passes, takes too many sacks, and he needs to be traded.”
As I tried to explain the offensive line’s ineptitude, the man wasn’t having any of it. He continued ranting, “That old excuse! The line is good but Dalton stinks. He hangs onto the ball too long.”
“What about the bad run game?” I asked. “The line isn’t opening holes.”
The man in the Eifert jersey said, “No! The line is opening holes but the backs are too lazy to look for them.”
Thankfully our children returned from getting candy at that moment. The poor guy was clueless.
If you repeat something enough you start actually believing it. No matter how stupid it is.
