[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1043525, member: 17953"] After playing the game for a lot of years, and coaching, I've come to the conclusion that the average fan knows two things about each play. If it works for your team, the coach is a genius. If it fails, the coach needs to be fired. When it comes to players, there's only two things. They either make a stupendous play, and be touted as the next Governor of the State, or they should be ridden out of town on a rail, after tar and feathering. When it comes to the entire coaching staff, and front office, they are to be worshiped if the team runs the table, including the Super Bowl, but if they falter at any time along the line, they need to be taken out into the court yard, and dealt with at a whipping post, by irate fans. So, I try to avoid the entanglement in the discussions taking place during a game as much as possible, because the majority of the fans sound like they need to be held in a padded room, wearing a straight jacket. I can see why foam bricks were a huge selling item for over 20 years. There are probably a lot of them still in use. When it comes to "team loyalty," and espousing how good players are on the teams we support, I never knew that the Bears, Packers, or Vikings, could possibly have 25 players each destined for the HOF, and another 20 to 25 who needed to be drawn and quartered. I'm certainly glad things were never quite that way at work over the years. There would have been carnage in the work place. But, that's just my opinion. The average fan: [ATTACH type="full"]20773[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
