The nice thing about this time of year is that the optimism flows freely. You can see change and see the future. There's a feeling of excitement and a renewed sense of fanhood.

 

It's a magical thing that happens and makes us all feel this way. I think the NFL knows that, and has made these offseason events what they are for this very reason.

 

One can't help but get excited this time of year. If this doesn't make you excited or optimistic, you're either not really a fan, or have serious issues. There are a couple examples of that very thing on this board. No names need be named. They make themselves obvious to the rest of us. I actually feel sorry for them. They have surrendered an annual period of true joy over being a fan of an NFL team. The ones they hurt the most are themselves too. Sucks for them.
