Just wondering. Keep up the good work! Andrew,

Anyone who can toss out a term like "plaudit" on a sports site has got to have some pretty strong mojo working for them. I bet you didn't even have to consult Roget's for that one. Whoops, I'm starting to gush here, better stop before I heap some undeserved eclat on our favorite "Eyeore" of a keyboard jockey. Ain't Tuesdays grand?

What I aim for is to have no expectations ... to not foresee failure, to not predict greatness. You just take the circumstances as they come. Unfortunately, it's still fun to speculate about what might take place ... even when it's of a doomsaying nature. But I think when one watches every team's game, and does so with the emotion of fandom, rationality gets tossed aside, the emotion ends up being at one of the polar extremes. I'm no psychologist, but that's just how it appears from my own experience and seeing others over the years. Pleasant surprise is a wonderful feeling.

So I've been using that fact and gloating. My brother-in-law is a huge bronco fan too, but I can't stand talking to him before a game because he is also a pessimist by nature. He figures "I'll expect the worst then I can either be prepared, or pleasantly surprised." That attitude is annoying. He predicted the Rockies lose to the Padres, then to the Phillies, then to the D-backs. Now he's also predicting Hillary to win in '08, so I just hope his streak of being dead wrong keeps up.

I have friends who say I should be more optimistic, but fellow DenverBroncos.com guru Kyle Sonneman thinks this is an impossibility, saying, "You can't be optimistic; you're a pessmist by nature."
