This is why I stopped watching unless I have nothing else to do. I still like them but won't give them my time/money any more. I'm sure the players get over it faster than most fans.
I stole Irving's avatar and made a few alterations... The new mascot:

Similar situation here. I still like the Broncos, but once I moved to Denver, I can't stand 95% of the fans.Quote:

I'm a fan and I may be insane (not about any sports teams), I don't really know. But then again, I'm old and I forget things. I would have a burrito but all I have is cold pizza so I think I will have a cup of coffee with 1/2 & 1/2. I just ordered some parts for my AR build and I hope they get here soon so I can fondle them. Aloha Snack-bar!!
I'm not going to get myself down over their loss yesterday, it was a given with Fox as the coach.
Sold my tickets to the game and banked some extra cash. Made my first pork shoulder and had some pulled pork sandwiches with some friends during the game. Enjoyable Sunday afternoon considering the weather outside.
Not the same offense as the beginning of the season and sad to see our D not get any pressure on Luck. United in Blue today but it does not dictate my daily outlook.
I am getting more disappointed with how rule changes and bad calls can alter the outcomes in games this late in the season. Also the chickification makes me sick. Am seriously considering not purchasing season tickets next year but when I can off a couple of home games and make some quick cash it is still a good investment.
I couldn't be happier with their performance yesterday. The wife cried, I cheered.

Life is so much better now that the Broncos are such a small part of my life.
After a Broncos loss, there are more accidents the next day, and more women needing a shelter from abuse...pretty sad. I like Pro Football, but the money and energy spent on something that produces at a best a negative sum benefit to society...getting harder and harder to be a fan.
I was having fun playing board games at the brewhouse rather than watching the game. My friend and I went to another restaurant for dinner and saw the "highlights" of the game...it looked pretty bad :P
I don't doubt that but do you have any links to back that up?Quote:

The product is getting worse and worse. $0.02 The constant rule tinkering makes it almost unwatchable. At this point, I don't even know what pass interference or a catch is.Quote:

I don't know, but we (society) don't know how to lose. I think it really ties into the whole "protect this house" mentality that so many NFL fans have. Hostility towards each other. Towards their team. There are 32 teams all full of professionals, all with identical goals, and chances are really good (31 / 32, to be sure) that your favorite won't win the SB. When you set up a "SB or Bust" mentality (as the news had after the Broncos last night), you've largely nullified the entertainment for what it is. As it turns out, the Broncos had one of the best seasons / teams in the league, but watching the news reaction afterwards, you'd never know it. Was it a fun ride this season or not? If the answer is no, probably you shouldn't watch anymore. $0.02Quote:

I can say one evening, probably 3 years ago, I happened to be wearing another team's (again, GB) hat, and it was the breast cancer hat at that (!) coming into one of the more well known pizza establishments on the West Side.
I held the door for some old lady and when she saw it, she actually said something like, "Green Bay? I don't think so!" I just smiled and held it. Part of me wanted to respond, "Who cares what you think?" but I held the door and smiled.
It was more pathetic than anything and reminded me of that old booing woman on the news. Is this where we are as fans?
Copy/pasted my comment from the Broncos thread in CCW forum:
Add that on top of the fact that it literally has no benefit to my life and I'm happy to do other things on Sundays now. I used to watch the NFL all day on Sundays but now, I'll only watch the Broncos if I have nothing else to do. I still hope the home teams do good but it's a game, nothing else and we treat it as if it's the end of the world. I know lots of people that wouldnt even talk to people after the loss. They just went to bed or asked not to be bothered. So yeah...Quote:
Yup, went to one game this year and decided it'll be my last. Not worth the time/money/effort it takes. Then, you have to deal with all the drunk idiots there. Last time, I got to hear an overweight 40-something year old talk about how he was going to beat some guy up for talking smack all game (he was wearing the other teams gear). I just shook my head and said never again would I support that type of environment.
Im much happier at home with cheap food prices and no bathroom lines.
Same here and HE IS GONE!!! YAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!Quote:

I'm sure its BS but that would have me cheering for everyone the Broncos played.
I vote Bill Cowher for new head coach.
Change the team name..."the Geldings"
I thought they were the Denver Donkeys.Quote:

If I'm going to root for a team it's the one I grew up knowing and loving (Broncos) but I'm not a spoiled fan who throws a fit when we don't go all the way, nor am I a fair weather fan who only likes them when they're doing well. Most of these dolts in the area aren't even real fans. Peyton will retire, we'll struggle for a season or two, many of these idiots will fade away until we pick it back up.
I like football, it helps keep the range from being over crowded on Sundays.[emoji102] [emoji106]

Regardless, people get WAY too wrapped up about Pro Sports.
Yep and the media is such a help, here is a screenshot of the 9News Home Page Saturday night, 18 different stories about the Broncos, not a single actual news story on 9NEWS website.Quote:

It might open the door for Gary Kubiak, the Ravens offensive coordinator, who has strong ties to the Denver Broncos.Quote:

Thank god they got rid of Fox. Nice guy who has no business being a head coach. Bring back Shanahan!

And yeah, folks get way too wrapped up in pro sports.
