Obviously he's going through a lot of stuff, and I'm not at all upset by what he said. However, do you agree? I don't. Being a treadmill team is the worst place to be. I'm a season ticket holder in Toronto and flew across the pond to watch the Rams game, I'm not sure how I wouldn't qualify as a "real" fan.

I don't agree, but that is his opinion and he is entitled to it.  

That being said, I wonder if the best LT prospect in the history of the NFL was the consensus #1 overall pick and he wasn't being replaced if his opinion would be different.

The whole "real fan" debate is stupid.  I had a lot of friends that were season ticket holders (as was I for 20 years) that referred to themselves as the real fans because they are at the games.  I never thought one's fandom should be categorized by the money they spent.  And for a fan to root against his/her team this weekend was in the long-term benefit of the team.

I have to admit, though.  I was cussing up a storm when they scored 23 points in ONE QUARTER, when they had only scored 23 points in ONE GAME all season.  I was sure Bengal logic, luck, karma, whatever was going to screw them out of the first pick.
