Nailed the first paragraph, that was more than enough (catchy headline aside) to grab this user's attention! =)

Concerning the next two paragraphs, one could say that about most-any person, team, experience or thing because its pretty much the "12 Stages of [dealing with] Grief", as exhibited by "Homer Simpson" when told he might die within a day-and-a-half or "Bart and Lisa Simpson" when faced with the prospect that their parents might get divorced.

As a casual DC (Detective Comics) fan (big on "Batman" since a little boy watching the '90s Animated Series by BruceTimm and wearing the heck out of the pajamas; liked MichaelKeaton's version, ValKilmer's version, not GeorgeCLOWNey's version, liked weirdo and possible Satanist ChristianBale's version....and have since HATED dang-near every version since), this user just can't get into, and ignores, most-anything DC since 2012-2014-ish. The "Gotham" show on FOX had potential, and was pretty good.....minus a couple of things here and there that were just...."modern unnecessaries", IMHO, before getting away from that. Disliked and then hated "Arrow", liked "Flash".....in spurts, for a time before leaving that. DESPISED "Legends of Tomorrow" with a passion, as well as pretty much everything else up to this point, such as this new "The Batman", "Joker", "Harley 1 and 2", abut have no opinion on "Penguin" as these eyes haven't viewed it, at least yet. Same boat with "Star Wars". Recognize nothing after the Disnee acquisition in 2012. Not muh canon, not the right canon for a variety of reasons.

People say things that make this user think "Frasier" is RIGHT UP MUH ALLEY....but, alas, have yet to actually watch anything outside a few minutes some fifteen-to-twenty years ago in-between "Smackdown!"s on UPN, or whatever, and just haven't had the time to actually binge-watch this series. (Recommend binge-watching "The Rockford Files", which was a rabbit-hole worth going down, minus a couple of episodes early in season four and one, two, or three after that stretch, it's really an amazing series as-a-whole, especially the first three seasons, IMHO; shame season 6 got cut-off before being a full season). Definitely a fan of "episodic" television as opposed to "serials", by far. It asks less of the viewer and allows for a "timeless" feel and syndication, thus, more profit. One can just pop on an episode of "Star Trek: TNG", prowrestling, or "The Rockford Files" and workout on the treadmill or stationary-bike and have a good ol' time, in any order of episodes and with any theme to market blocks of them in ("Romance" blocks with "who kisses better, Riker-or-Picard?", etc.), something serials cannot do, at least as easily!

F the NBA and its bought-and-paid-for refs. As MarkCuban said at Survivor Series 2003: "All referees suck, there is no such thing as a good referee!"

Keep the faith, half muh NFL parlays have DAL winning over PHI, half kept that game off, same with The Mean Green game (in place of UNT on those, this user needs IND to beat MICH, some with the points included).

F the Chiefs, most-especially TK and TS for innumerable reasons.....

IT'S SCRAPPING TIME!!! (Maybe have Scrappy do the ol' CMPunk -- even though he's a scumbag/idiot -- and/or "The Thing" pose!)

Would love to make "Scrap'em" a thing, as well! TCU, A&M, UT, and BAY have similar sayings, why not UNT?
