It's hard being a fan of just one team. Most people are what I call "bandwagon" fans who seem to follow only those teams that are on top at the present time. I guess I'm just not wired that way and this leads to a lot of heartache it seems.
Tonight was the start of the NFL preseason. I have been a Rams fan for 38 years and was excited about seeing the "new" team. First went over to family and friends to watch the game. We had hamburgers, drinks, watermelon, and popcorn. Then for 3 hours watched a display of horrible football play. Our 78 million dollar QB was sacked 3 times. The Rams offense had 8 yards rushing and ran the same old 3 and 4 yard pass patterns. On defense it was a little better against the run but deep TD passes were given up right and left. Just horrible. Team sucks fans suck and the town itself sucks. Didn't even sellout and was blacked out in the St.Louis area. While watching it I was struck by the fact that I could have and probably should have spent the 3 hours doing something else. I could have read some books, listen to the radio, played around on the computer or maybe watched old movies or old t.v. shows. Anything would have been better than what I watched and spent wasting my time with.
Oh well live and learn. Maybe I should become one of those "bandwagon" people and wait and pick a team in first place in mid-season like everyone else seems to do!
