2.  Also, waiting to celebrate until the game is over, as opposed to after Burficts pick basing it on seeing them shoot themself in the foot countless times is what?

1.  Pessimist.

2.  Pessimism.  Too bad you have never seen the Bengals win playoff games like I have in "reality".

No one is saying you are not allowed to be a pessimist.  All I am saying is that you can't call yourself a "realist" when you have no idea what is really going to happen.  I can list hundreds of examples of people who claimed to be "realist" having opinions that never occurred in the real world.

I lived in Colorado in the early '90's.  You would be amazed how many people claimed to be "realists" and said Elway would never win a Super Bowl.  

So I am not telling you that you have to be positive.  All I am saying is that you are not a "realist".  Instead you are a "pessimist".
