The sad part about this is I am old enough to appreciate the descriptors here.
But I can get the impatience.
Supporting a team mired in losing is not easy. You want it to stop and stop now. Some Jaguars fans have never known this team to win until now.
I remember during my Dallas days between 1986-1989.
All I had known in my life were winning Dallas teams.
Those four years were a nightmare. But hiring Jimmy Johnson and seeing the Herschel Walker trade gave hope for the future. I just had to see it through.
Those four years-and to a lesser extent the years immediately prior-made me see that football, as a general rule, is cyclical, and there are ebbs and flows.
It helped me better understand and be able to tolerate 2008-2016.
