...my time.
Time for a little post-debacle rambling, if may be so indulgent...
I, like most of you, have a lot going on in my life. Family, kids, work, hobbies, etc.
My time is valuable.
So where do the Rams fit in all of that?
The Rams are a distraction. Entertainment. A whimsical interlude between the moments that really matter.
I am a fan. I have been for decades. That's not going to change.
But I'm not a true fanatic. Not at this point in my life, when I'm several years older than the oldest player on the team.
When the distraction.... the entertainment... the whimsical interlude becomes instead a source of embarrassment, hopelessness, and stress...
Well, at that point, is ceases to be something worth the allocation of my precious time.
So... where does that leave me?
Next Sunday, when the Rams play the Seahawks... maybe I won't glue myself to Red Zone. Maybe I'll ride my bike, or go to the gym, or see a movie.
We'll see. We'll see what Sunday brings.
The week after that, I've got tickets to see the Rams play the Bucs. I'll be there. Heck, I may even bring my optimism with me.
But... at some point...
I'm not sure this version of the Rams, with these coaches, and these players, is worth too much of my time.
Maybe I'm just getting a little old for all of this.
Maybe the years of futility are finally catching up with me (I can just hear a few of you saying... "yes... come to the dark side!... let the hate flow through you..."

)
I'll always be around... watching... lurking... waiting... hoping...
But active fandom for this team?
It doesn't seem to be worth my time right now.
Maybe tomorrow....
