Ben Johnson is our new coach.

I certainly do. lol

I block the ones that constantly start all that shit up now. I think that I used to take my bull shit out on strangers in here, but I've reevaluated a lot of that. Particularly, over the past two years. I made some changes with my overall approach to things and I'm a lot more calm. Friends and family also notice. I don't let shit bother me that has nothing to do with me.

Some of it is quitting drinking, some of it is therapy, some of it is ending a toxic relationship I was in (coming on here straight from an argument with her wasn't good lol), and some of it? Is just getting older and (slightly) less stupid. Being angry and arguing is exhausting. Especially with freakin strangers on the internet. People can sit here and justify it by saying it's "entertaining to them" etc. That's bull shit, though (IMO). Every moment you waste on that takes a little something out of you. Even if you don't notice.

That doesn't mean I'm above rolling my eyes at a comment or making a smart ass response. That's as far as it usually goes, though. If you disagree with my opinion on a sports team? At the end of the day, it's really okay.

I used to lose my mind over this shit in Cutler days. Sheesh. Nagy/Mitch days were still bad, too.

Fucking hell man....it's a message board. Shut up.

If words on a screen from a person you never met and can't see have ever actually bothered you in real life....you're the problem.

Honestly, I had no idea the coaching staff is more than half the size of the players roster. Damn.

excuse me while I whip this out lol. Staff......

This is back to why I wrote we could have let anyone of these people stand on the sidelines with the red flag and let Brown stay upstairs and continue to improve with Caleb. No interim was going to make us not sign Johnson.
