I question your reality when it comes to your approach. You are clearly pessimistic, but do you feel you have any control whatsoever on any outcome? If so, you are not realistic. If not, what good does your pessimism and negativity contribute to any success?

...so... now you are a psychiatrist. No Pessimism here, just reality.... I know when my coach rode my ass because of poor play or attitude, things changed on the outcome....as a result, I won Louisiana state championship, 1979 (trust me, i have the documentation and awards to prove)
... can you relate, maybe so,... doubt it. Again... get over yourself and accept this team is NOT performing to what YOU should be expecting ... WINNING... with that.. i take a toke and hope you don't choke...

to the point... we both want the Saints to win... your way is apathy and wishing... mine is expectation and demand; especially when money is involved.... huge difference.
