    Should I try and prevent my two year old from being a Bills fan?

    Honest question. I would love for her to care about the Bills and actually have someone to enjoy games with (actually it's just to suffer with if we are being honest). 

     

    My wife hates football and I'll be honest, it bothers me that she could care less about the Bills. 

     

    I feel that I am just being selfish. I definitely don't want to force her into it. If she does on her own, then it's ok. However I think her life would be better off if she doesn't.

     

    This season was the first time I didn't subscribe to NFL Sunday ticket. I'm trying to move on with life and the Bills have consumed so much of my life.

     

    I did not watch any other NFL games this season other then the Bills. I believe my goal is stop watching the Bills as well. 

     

    I guess my real question is I don't want to force myself on her deciding if she is going to like the Bills or not. Any advice would be appreciated. 

     

    I wish I didn't care and I honestly don't want my daughter to go through life like I have. 

     

    You owe it to your children to be your authentic self for them.  A parent sharing their favorite sports teams (or other personal interests) with kids is giving them an opportunity, not a burden: they don't have to love your team or even share your interests, but they can if they want to.  Then for the rest of their life, if they hear anything about your thing, they'll have that personal connection and associate it with you.  I take my daughters to football games every year, and they care way more about the snacks and cheerleaders than the game, but they'll always remember it's something I loved and wanted to share with them.

    Personally, this Ravens matchup is my "McDermott Game."

    Curious how people view this one with his legacy. I was hoping to get something a little more definitive . On one hand, we did a really good job taking away the run early. On another, we allowed 25 with 3 turnovers. Nearly 7 yards a play again, it seemed like they could do whatever they wanted in the 2nd half. I will lay off him until this run is over. But it was the type of win where it feels like we really didn’t learn a lot more and I thought we would going in. 

    A little more definitive?? That’s an actual playoff win against a really tough opponent, c’mon man.

    Look at what happens to Lamar when Henry struggles.  That tells the story.  Henry is the MVP of that team, not Lamar. If Cook struggles, Josh just goes nuclear.

    Exactly right.  Henry joining the Ravens this year is the reason Lamar had the best statistical season of his career so far.  His next best season was 2019, which was the only other time he had a 1000 yard rusher (Mark Ingram).  He's a great player but way more dependent on his supporting cast than Josh.

    Well for obvious reasons his last name came to my mind today.  

     

    But he was a great musician.  I think even from Rochester?
