Sorry but this new age horse manure doesn’t appeal to me.
You make a commitment, you stick to it. Loyalty and other morals are taught - they’re not naturally ingrained.
My Dad was a WWII vet and not even remotely a "new age" guy. He was also a Browns fan. (The Bills didn't exist until he was nearly 40.) I grew up rooting for both the Browns and the Bills, but eventually settled on just the Bills. I'm glad his commitment to fatherhood and his loyalty to his family superseded his interest in a football team. And I'm glad he taught that to me.

I've got a red leather tie and pair of rugger pants
I put them on and I went to the high school dance
Dad said I had to be home by eleven
Aw, man, I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven -
Time to clean house. Fire everyone in this thread!
Get it done, Beane!

Sports should be entertainment, not stress. I admit, I stress out during games too, but I don't yell at the TV or indicate that I'm angry. I make sure my stress is my own and doesn't spread to my wife and son. That's how my Dad watched sports, so I learned it from him. I figure that the team is no reflection on me - I can't take credit for the wins so I shouldn't feel shame about the losses. Yeah, I'm bummed when they lose, especially in the playoffs, but I can't let that ruin my life.
I guess my point is that the Bills are winning much more often than losing these days, so maybe just teach your son to savor the wins and shrug off the losses. He might find being a Bills fan much less stressful.

I don't see Gabe coming back. I think they draft two WRs in the first three rounds. Keep Diggs for at least another year while the rookies get up to speed. Shakir is more reliable than Gabe and DK2 is the receiving TE that we hoped DK1 would become. Someone will pay more for Gabe than he'll get as our WR4.

I don’t know that she’s any less a ‘part of this’ than any of us.
Though her motor skills may be limited, it’s entirely possible that she has enough cognition to fully enjoy and experience the Bills games.From Jessica's post last year:
QuoteShe is dealing with significant expressive aphasia and significant memory issues. She can read, write, and understand pretty well, but she has trouble finding the words to respond.

This kinda puts a little more pressure on the “Win One Before I Die” crowd.
Yeah, more like "Win one before humanity makes itself extinct."

Dark star, I see you in the morning,
Dark star, a' sleeping next to me.
Dark star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me, dark star. -

He's noble enough to know what's right
But weak enough not to choose it
He's wise enough to win the world
But fool enough to lose it -

If the Bills win the Superbowl expect Brady to get more HC interviews. If we ever have a good season we will lose our OC that's just how it goes when you have a DC head coach
I can live with that.

Yup!!!!!
Now do Elam...."This guy is useless, he just got trucked. What now, DPI? What a bust, waste of a first round pick...."
*two plays later*"KAIIR! That guy can Ball, Man! Way to go!"
That exact scenario happened on my couch last week - not on the GDT, but in a conversation between me and my wife. After I got done explaining that he's a liability and I wondered why he's still on the team, he made a clutch pick in the end zone. "That's why!" I said.
She replied, "Just before that happened, I was thinking it would be funny if he intercepted a pass on the next play."
I love that woman. 🙂

Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way -
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot -
I remember when rock was young
Me and Susie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own -
When you're down and troubled
And you need some lovin' care
And nothin', nothin' is goin' right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night -
Here's a fella in blue jeans
Dancin' with an older queen
Who's dolled up in her diamond rings and
Twistin' the night away
Have any of you been in this situation before??(vague title)

I read that, but your "new age crap" comment and subsequent paragraphs (with irrelevant comparisons) set the tone for your argument. There are many ways to teach the concept of not giving up just because the road is tough, and I can assure you that my Dad taught that lesson well - through real-life issues, not sports fandom.
