Time for a True Confession!
I am a bad sports fan. It could be worse; I am not, for example, a Sports Bigamist. But when my team starts to fail (and, in the case of the Bengals, fail, and fail, and fail) I turn away pretty quickly.
It's just no fun watching your team gack away games they have no business losing (to return to the reason for the title of this post). It's no fun knowing that only one of 30-ish teams is going to win it all, only one of five teams is at all likely to win it all, and your team is not among the elect. It's even less fun having your sports heart ripped out and stamped on, knowing how hard it was to get that high and how unlikely it is for Your Team to get that chance to win it all again.
Of course, sometimes you do win it all. Or at least a sizable fraction of it all. And it feels pretty darn good.
But...losing by 17 at home to Houston? (We will not even get into Houston's injury situation.) Not-expected-to-make-the-playoffs Houston?
Someone get me a cold compress; this music is giving me a headache.
