    At least I saw the last championship, another one is not even close.

    Yes, I know, it's 37 years. Maybe I was hopeful we won 10 years ago...................

    Me too (though I'm 29). Thank God David Robinson existed and that I had the common sense to choose him as my favorite basketball player otherwise I never would've known what it felt like to have your favorite team in a championship.

    I saw them but sometimes I question they really happened. It's like I'm telling my kids tall tales. I'm going to check on snopes.com to see if those championships are just an urban legend.......

    All I want is one Super Bowl win. Just one. I will quit after that, I could care less.

    Good Lord, I wonder if other fans whine this much about their team being .500? Is it just a South Florida being a terrible sports town thing, or what?

    I honestly think I wouldn't care if they won another game. Win the SB ONCE and I'm good for life.

    Not sure what this even means. I clearly don't reside in South Florida so who are you talking about? Being .500 is fine if you have no desire to make the playoffs and win that trophy that you're supposed to be playing for each year.

    That's how you feel right now but as soon as the dealer "next season starts" pushes his stuff, you would want more.....

    I hate when people like that guy Disgustipate generalize like that. Most people that post on this board, don't even live in So Fla, so how can you even make a post like that. Its just ridiculous.

    Somewhere along the way, it takes a lot of luck to have that happen. I'd say the only 'real' super bowl winner we've seen in the past 10 years that didn't have some luck involved was the Pittsburgh Steelers. They've built that team every step of the way through smart moves.

    But the Colts? They could have ended up with Ryan Leaf instead of Manning. Luck.
    Saints? Drew Brees panning out the way he did, along with guys like Margues Colston? Luck.
    If not for a very unfortunate hit by Mo Lewis on Drew Bledsoe, Tom Brady may have never seen the field as a starter. Luck.
    John Gruden becoming the coach of the bucs after the raiders dropped him? Luck.
    Eli Manning forcing himself to the Giants instead of the Chargers? Luck.

    These teams were all/ are all good, but they all had random lucky act of god type move fall straight in their laps that led to their success. I just pray "Browns trading Mark Sanchez for a ham sandwich" isn't added to this list.

    I don't think anyone prefers .500 but in special cases, but seriously... Seasons like this are part of being a football fan.

    After 27 years, for myself, the disappointment has mellowed to a perennial occurance. The passing of the teams yearly aspiration, is now much less debilitating than it once was, and arrives more as a solumn state of mind, or like realizing Fall has become Winter.

    I suppose its just the consequence after so many years, the mind conditions itself, to accept it as the norm, and odd as it may seem, you begin to wonder if the day ever comes that we win a Superbowl, after the meteoric rush subsides, will it leave a sense of resolve, of reacquired perfection, or a strange emptyness, that finally its over?
