The NFL is an entertainment enterprise. They don’t promise a clean, honest contest, just an exhibition of football for your entertainment. After 50 years of failure, I’m trying not to take it personally. I know many of you will most likely blast me for being Debbie Downer with this Ten Things, but I just needed to vent. Thanks for letting me rant. Just don’t expect the rest of this year to be anything magical. The magic is played out.

Great post today George - actually cathartic. I had a real similar moment this morning. I'm letting this get to me too much.
I think I've decided I'm going to go hiking where there's no cel coverage for our playoff game. It just causes me too much pain every year. I have increasing anxiety leading up to it and then am depressed for weeks after. If we win I'll be fully back on board for game #2. If I could help the team somehow by being there I'd do it. But since I can't I'm gonna try something different this year.
But then OTOH - the optimist in me hopes maybe this is the wakeup call that we need to gamble more on offense, and put Berry in there 100% of the time on defense, or try something. And we got it now instead in a one and done playoff game. Dammit I'm getting sucked back in.
