Optimistic?
Pessimistic?
Realistic?


Please advise.

I now use the same rules when needing any surgery lol[/quote]Comparing a M.D to an auto worker is insulting and shows your lack of respect for the person who dedicated 14 years to becoming a doctor.

[quote=Xramfan post_id=1290380]I dislike this time of year.

Reminds me of the inevitable “stall” my brisket or pork butt hits when smoking on the grill and I have company coming in a few hours.

This is where you can do nothing but wait and it feels looooong


Ok, back to the off season discussion ;)[/quote]Totally agree! This is where nonsense starts. Nothing to do but speculate and get all worked up over nothing. I'm old enough to remember being a Raider fan before the internet and there was VERY little news that would leak out. Then the preseason started and you saw players and things that you never knew before, it was all new!

I work along side doctors on a daily basis. I think today's medicine practices and the grind they have to go through makes a comparison to an auto worker an apt comparison. Both are far more technical than in the past and both are just grinding out one task after another.

However, I am fortunate. My personal doctor does not rush the process and is very engaging which is the exception and not the norm.

They were treated as mildly interesting practices on local news , if the news covered them at all.

Preseason games are still as bad of a predictor now as they were back then. I'm glad they're more available to watch now because it's interesting to see football after what seems like an eternity. OTOH, I find myself screaming at the TV to get X player off the f[raiders_icon]cking field so that he doesn't get injured before the real season starts.

Fan since 1974.
While I'm always optimistic, I (and we) have been here before!
Hope for the best, always...!
