Have you ever shown up after a win?

IF they ever WIN a SB, and I’m still alive, I’ll come in here, belly and bib up to the crow buffet and eat whatever you want to dish out.

The only GOOD thing about switching from Browns to Bengals at the age of 14, in 1968, when PB started the franchise, is it took me away from the Browns franchise even though the HAVE won 4 NFL championships.

Well Greg, as much as I get irritated by the Bengals and the stupid decisions they make which lead to what we saw Sunday I'm reminded of my love of Stoicism.

I don't control the Bengals decisions, I don't control the coaches play calling and I don't control the players executing the game plan.
I do love football and enjoy watching to no end.  I'd rather have it than not.  It's how you respond to what is.  That is all we control.

Take Sunday for example.  I could have thrown my remote at the TV, but instead I got up and cut circles into my yard when mowing.
My TV survived another Bengals game and now my neighbors all have commented about the grass and the design that really does look good.

Pretty much.

I was exposed to it first in the military and had I put it into practice then, it would have helped more.
Then it kept popping up here and there, before getting a heavy dose in my master's program that finally stuck.
It always fascinated me that thoughts from thousands of years ago could still be very much applicable today.
I wish it would have stuck when I was a younger man, but glad it finally did.

I will wear my "Nerd" badge with honor !!

Funny, but no chance Mike Brown is a stoic.

When thinking in that light, he refuses to see how he could turn obstacles into opportunities.
Going against the allowance of private equity demonstrates that perfectly.  That is an absolute opportunity that he simply views as an obstacle.

The obstacle is the way.

I understand your sentiments Army, but, for me it was time for a change.

It wasn't hard for me to join Junior, CJ, and Mixon.

I think Mixon is making the Bengals look foolish.

I don't watch ANY real the me games anymore just go to websites afterward.

Lets hope the Texans organization give Stroud the support he deserves as things unfold!

I was looking at Jungle Noise forum and decided to copy and paste;

 

“As the Chiefs, the Bills and the Ravens all make trades to make their already great teams even better what do we do as we are on the verge of a team collapse? Absolute nothing. This is what makes it hard to root for this team. They don’t even try. Their drafting has been awful so why act like these 2nd-7th round picks are gold? It’s pathetic. Mike Brown is a pathetic human being. I hope fans stop renewing season tickets. They don’t deserve us.”

Yep get all of that too and don’t disagree.

Thankfully because of my son I’m a huge Texans fan as well and happy to still root for Mixon. I think the change of scenery also plays a part in him doing well this year. Happy for him.

We seen the Texans 3 times this year. Once in Indy and been down to H-Town twice. Went to the Bengals Monday Night Game but that’s it and have no plans on going to any more this year. 

As always… there’s always next year.
Maybe lightning in a bottle works out.
