Right now, part of me says to go with #1, if for no other reason than to shut a whole lot of people up. But those same people that were temporarily shut up would then say we sold our souls for the Super Bowl when we’re no good for ten years. So they won’t truly be shut up. They’ll just have one talking point taken away.
And right now I’m going out of my way to watch every minute of every game because there’s a ‘chance’. I’m coming here to see and participate in discussion. If they’re consistently bad to mediocre, those things aren’t happening. I’ll be living my life, checking scores and highlights occasionally, but not really watching all that much. Call me a fair weather fan if you’d like, but that’s just my reality. I can’t bear to watch a continually bad product. I have to give it up to fans of teams who have NEVER won and seem to always be bad. Good for them, but that’s just not me. So for these reasons, I’m going with #2. I’d much rather have a reason to watch every year with a chance with some breaks to go all the way, even if it results in heartbreak at the end, than to not have a reason to watch.
