I'm with Ray/Kai/Whatever-his-name-is on this one, Gene.  What in the 
hell are you _thinking_, trying to be enthusiastic about a good win 
on the road for this team.  And you call yourself a fan ... don't you 
know that fans ought to be dour, pessimistic little gnomes?  Don't 
you know that mediocre temas stay mediocre, never getting better and 
never getting worse?  Don't you know that, since they are neither 
truly bad nor truly good, this team will never have any "impact". 
Cleveland knows that -- they didn't just lose their first home game 
to this team, after all.

(Gene, in all seriousness now, you go right on being enthusiastic 
about that win -- it was a good one.  And I agree with you: this team 
is a lot better when Randy Brown can come in and help spark the 
defense.)
