This is what you get with the combination of a runaway ego as a celebrity and no repercussions for failure. This is the old starlet that keeps showing up and getting applause in the form of financial support.
In his egocentric mind, he's built an empire complete with the most watched sports franchise in the world and if we think he didn't puff out his chest when the ratings revealed the most watched regular season game in 13 years, we've not been watching close enough. He holds himself solely responsible for that....along with that team that keeps winning rings.
This isn't just a football team, it's much more than that, it's his own personal relevancy arena and the opportunity to show off his toys. Are you aware of what any other owner has? Do they feel the need to make sure the media gets the details on his possessions?
But, I do not blame Booger. I blame myself because I continue to follow this team, although not with the gusto and passion I once had. Even though I've never given him one cent of revenue since he bought the team, I still allow him space in my mind and my time and that is currency.
So, this is what we're resigned to, Groundhog Day with Booger hoping he'll get lucky because the fact is he's not good enough without luck. Waiting for him to die so the next generation can step in. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss". We seem to never tire of getting fooled again.
However, I am on the downside. My fond memories of great teams of the past are slowly being replaced by the futility and as I was once spoiled by expecting the playoffs, now that has become the goal.
Winning a playoff game is who we are now. We do not want to accept that but that's who we are, we are the Lions and Skins. All of that America's Team is the window dressing.
