Thats unpossible!
so, i recently started a new gig in a writer's room on the FOX Lot and yesterday, we had a pop-in from a writer on the Simpsons who was there on his 23rd year. While he was sitting there, the crazy thing that went thru my head was he probably came into the show at least a full season after I stopped watching... and I watched the first 13 seasons religiously.

36 seasons. That's insane.

Congrats! Let me know what it is and I’ll watch it and tell others! Simpsons is an incredible show.

May your show last long enough to feel derivative and irrelevant.

And we are going to suck. WE ARE GOING TO SUCK. I have been a fan of this team for more years than I've been alive. We. Are. Going. To. Suck. The mismanagement of this team is embarrassing. And it is consistent.

Do we have some great players? Absolutely! Do we have some holes to fill? Hell yes.

We have a journeyman QB holding out and he's supposed to be our starting QB. What other NFL franchise experiences this?

Sorry friends, but we are a long way off from getting back to the playoffs or having a winning record.

Where's that Dark Side thread again?

Man… I would kill for for just two seasons, much less all that!
get some good weed.
start accurateky predicting the future.
Write it into your show.

oh yeah,...and identify an irreverent catch phrase.

Think about it.... Fonzi had, "Sit on it"

Bart has, "Eat my shorts"

despair not.
Things fell apart last year. In a big way. But part of the reason it hits so hard is because we had legit expectations last year.
its difficult to consider at this point. But last summer, even the talking heads that openly hate the Redbirds expected us to win 10 games. but the first six weeks left everybody shaking their heads asking WTAF.... because it was inexplicable.
what happened to the team happened in the locker room. not on the field...thats why its so hard to really comprehend..hard to diagnose....because there wasnt an obvious issue...we all knew we are light on star power, so we were not likely to go deep in the playoffs... but we have a group of solid pro football players.
we are the cardinals. Things dont go our way.
But we are primed to be a "worst to first" story.

and the way things go with the redbirds...a season in which we have this brutal ass schedule...is a prime time for us to come out of the blue and make the playoffs...just to leave everyone asking WTAF??
