re: I will be a man and admit I was wrong.

Predicting future performance is a difficult task for everyone. I hope I am in the middle somewhere....blind optimism and extreme negativity on things you have no control over seems to me like insanity.

If you are optimistic or negative on the things you can influence, then your mindset will have a powerful effect on outcomes because your positive or negative feelings will effect your actions.

Nobody here is making a tackle or throwing a pass. Everyone to some degree lives vicariously through their teams. Many do this to an unhealthy degree, others for entertainment, social,and business reasons.

I haven't had anything to drink today and it is becoming evident in this comment.

I did enjoy this win more than most. This football team has come a long way in a month.
