Why Homers aren't True Fans

[ZAZusmc03]

The amount of grammatical errors in the OP and this thread in general makes me immediately think of Billy Madison.

“What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Some of you people need to learn how to enjoy the ride...even the bumpy parts.

Yeah well, the ride's become nothing but bumpy parts.

[YardRat]

Yeah well, the ride's become nothing but bumpy parts.

You're more than welcome to get off at any stop. The door is in the front, on the right.

[X-Era]

Yeah well, the ride's become nothing but bumpy parts.

Who doesn't like feeling the mounds?

[CoolBreeze]

Yeah well, the ride's become nothing but bumpy parts.

That's what she said.

[swiper]

Worse. It's one continuous bump.

I find it funny when people keep getting on the bumpy ride BY CHOICE and tell people that they are crazy for getting excited and enjoying it.

And that's the whole point of this discussion. Realists know that its bumpy and can see the bumpy road out the front window.

Homers talk about how much fun it is even as they're puking from motion sickness.

I have to wonder how many homers would have gotten off already if they were mentally capable of comprehending how bad this team really is.

It's an emotional ride for us homers. You're the one who claims to have the brains to comprehend whats going to happen yet you choose to keep getting back on the ride even though you know you HATE IT AND KNOW YOU"RE GOING TO PUKE. So whose the one not using their brain here? It's not us homers for sure.

Because real fans don't get off because we know the ride is bumpy.

And no one who roots for this team- homer, realist or otherwise- is using their brain. Anyone using their brain would have given up on this team long ago.

If we get bad food or bad service in a restaurant, we don't go back.
If a TV show is boring we stop watching.
If our car keeps breaking down we trade it in for a more reliable one.
If our shoes wear out after a couple months we buy a different brand next time.

But when it comes to sports, we put our brains away and become a bunch of battered women. "I just knnnoooowww he won't do it again! He's serious this time!"

The question I have is why PESSIMISTS like you Op don't get off the ride?

I guess pessimists on this board are also masochists.

[better days]

^Because it'd be like trying to quit heroin after 30 years of abuse

Well, people on heroin ENJOY the ride.

The pessimists on this board, not so much.

[OpIv37]

Yeah they enjoy it to a point. Eventually they end up getting their ass kicked by dealers they owe or other junkies who want their stuff, and sucking dick in alleys so they can afford their habit. Then they're no longer enjoying the ride.

You don't have to be a hypocrite to have fun.

You don't have to be an ******* either.

[Patrick76777]

What a terribly annoying argument! Who cares either way? Incredible waste of time!

Your mere responce is hypocrisy in action.

[Mike]

Sometimes I wish I was a Bills optimist...as a realist you can't even enjoy score-boarding your detractors cause it means the Bills predictably lost again. Unwarranted homerism/optimism IS kinda cult-ish and frightening though. Tells me that person is mentally unstable

I told you so arguments are only defensible when the team wins or when your right in a good way otherwise your labeled as an attention whore.

I have been on here for a number of years and have read OPiv comments for the duration of my time here and I can say the following:

1) In years past OP has been one of the most accurate predictors of the Bills team as a whole, individual players and the quality of the FO & Coaches.

2) Each year his comments get construed as being negative

3) He constantly gets critised for his views

4) He doesn't gloat when correct

5) Eventhough he is consistantly correct no one really gives credence to his past performance

6) By now Smart & Logical human being would have schmo lower this much

7) Obviously he is not negative. If he was 'negative' he would be just as wrong as most 'positive' folk.

Instead he is a realist. If there is water in a jug, he calls it water; unlike many homers who believe the water will magically be turned into wine.

Realists don't latch on to *****ing points and hang on with dear life despite evidence to the contrary. Realists don't act like petulant, whiny-ass little spoiled brats that insist they deserve something because they feel they are entitled to it, and getting screwed if they don't get it.
