I've been away from active posting for a while. Covid, other life events have impacted the amount of time available. And now that I have a chance to peek in, it looks like the number of active posts has really dwindled. I know it's not because there are no fans in the stands, but in a way, it's like as the number of people who can be at the stadium went down, so did the activity on this board.
Makes me wonder - have we finally hit bottom? The 0-16 season would have been it, but there were still a bunch of optimists (me included) that stalked and posted. It's a bit like being in AA - "Hi, my name is Jim, and I'm a Lion's fan." - is the franchise finally to that point? I hope so. I'm facing retirement soon, and I'd like it to be a time to enjoy giving my neighbors shit about their teams. I work in MN (Vikings are on the decline big time this year) and live in WI (those guys in Green Bay seem to be doing well) - and Chi fans are few and far between here. Annoying as hell, but avoidable.
It's really a quandry - do I cheer the victories or curse the mediocrity? What will it take to move on from being those lovable losers, the butt of most jokes. Even Cleveland is almost respectable. The mistake by the lake. A team from Ohio.
Sigh.....
Thanks for putting up with my drivel. I'll go away for a while and ponder if Broncosmitty is right and we just clear them all out.
