What are we even doing?

[Genghis Khan]

Scapegoating McCarthy so he doesn't lose his fanbase.

And Dak.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I don't think I could ever do that. If it comes to that I will just stop watching.

I've already got a few bones to pick about the NFL. Just pushes me more towards college football.

I pay attention every year until the point in which it becomes obvious that we aren't going to have the right combination of incredible luck to make it further than we've made it in almost 30 years. This year that point was a lot earlier than the last few years. I was as negative as I ever have been after free agency and the comically late signings of Lamb and Dak.

I no longer waste my time staying up for late games. I'll just read about it in the morning. If we win, I'll watch the game, if not, I don't bother.

There's literally nothing that can fix what's broken, other than luck. Hiring the right coach, getting a favorable schedule, drafting exactly the right people to fill the holes every year, significant injuries kept to a minimum, and the thousand other variables that have to go right to get this team beyond one playoff win. The amount of luck needed to get to or win a Super Bowl isn't even worth considering.

The dysfunction is so endemic that it just doesn't matter.

Spot on. No way I was staying up to watch that Steelers game.

Was pleasantly surprised when I found out they won the next morning.

 

[ravidubey]

Last year I granted my kids permission to become Ravens fans

In fact anything not Eagles, 9ers, Packers, Steelers, Giants, or Washington

I stayed up and goddamn I would have lost my mind if Dowdle‘s fumble went the other way.

 

[boozeman]

I will tell you boys this.

I used to plan my life around what this dumbass organization did. Vacations on bye weekends when possible.

But not anymore. I could miss an entire game and not give a shit.

 

[UncleMilti]

I don't think I could ever do that. If it comes to that I will just stop watching.

Eh, it just doesn’t matter to me anymore.

 

[bbgun]

Thank God I can fall back on the Yankees, America's lovable underdogs.

 

[UncleMilti]

Yep, this time of year I’m waiting on UNC basketball, watching WVU football and Alabama football and waiting for the holidays to be with my family. The Cowboys are very very distant last. It used to not be that way, but it just is what it is now.

 

[Genghis Khan]

America's lovable underdogs.

Otherwise known as the Mets little brothers.

The Yankees have won more world series just since the Mets last won (almost 40 years ago by the way) than the Mets have ever won.

Jerry really did a number on you to miss what I was doing.

 

[Smitty]

Exactly.

To hell with cheering for another team.

I just stop caring about the sport or league.

it’s become an awful product anyway.

I don't know what you were doing but I hate the Mets pretty strongly.

Same. I’ll watch if I have nothing better to do.

Agreed.

Oh totally.

My Sundays were completely off limits for anything else.

It's funny when I look back at how much life revolved around them and how little it all matters now.

Basically taking a dig at the Yanks for bbgun amusement.
