I watched Playoff Caliber: End of the Drought from my DVR again...and yes I cried


Recommended Posts

That was a terrific video to watch.  It's amazing how much emotion was tied into this.  I'm also a Pirates fan who endured more than 20 years of losing seasons so when they finally broke through in 2015 and made the playoffs as well was a similar emotion.  Can't wait for Sabres to do the same however unlikely it seems right now.

SCREW YOU GUYS, I'M GETTING FIRED UP FOR THE SEASON!!!!  You don't get to judge me!

 

 

...some of you can judge me...you know who you are.

 

And I didn't girly cry (not that there is anything wrong with that and I mean nothing against any gender here).  I super manly cried.  I was like Spartacus.  My tears were moving.  

 

I AM Spartacus...losers.

 

One month 'til kickoff.  Go Bills!


 

I get tears in my watching America’s Got Talent….I won’t judge you.

I had tears in my eyes - and a few rolled down my cheeks - when Andy Dalton finally put our drought to an end.  Not ashamed at all.

Ditto. Still do! Choked up watching this -for the hundredth time😲

I don't think I'll ever forget watching the end of the Bengals-Ravens game after they switched over from the Dolphins game.  I totally cried and it was arguably the greatest sports day of my life.  (The comeback was probably bigger in the grand scheme of things, but I didn't fully appreciate it at the time the same way I did with breaking the drought).

Fellow Pirates fan here—that drought was simply, epic. To root for the Bills and the Buccos at the same time during overlapping extreme droughts was an exercise in grim endurance!

The man who lost his wife with Kobe, and the little girl that sings opera.

 

Are you kidding me?!

 

You are officially a robot if you don't cry.  

 

You know, Royale, as a country and generally as a people and the way our society runs today, well we are just super hard on each other.

 

But glory be if I don't love those times when we cheer each other on.  It's infectious.  

 

Oh, and I am looking at you, too, American Ninja.  I just wish we could channel that to other aspects of our daily interactions.

 

Here's hoping, though.

I was at that game in Miami on New Year's Eve. I had the live stream of the Cin/Bal game on my phone as we exited the stadium. My stream must have been like 30 seconds ahead because I watched Dalton throw that TD and started running around the lot screaming how we made the playoffs like i just won the Powerball while other post game tailgating Bills fans were clueless. Once they saw the play,  they understood....... and also began to act the fool.

That guy was brave and it was a tear jerker.  I don’t think he makes it past the next round…his voice is good but not great.  So far the Korean Quartet have been the best singers.
