I don't see myself as a negative person in real life, but sometimes you read CP and make 5 or 6 posts and feel like you only said negative stuffs.
Of course, it's far easier to be a naysayer on this board, because you go hard at the negative side and if you're right you're right, but if you're wrong you just get to say "I'm happy I was wrong" or "Sure, I run this player down all day and night, but I want him to be great". So you get to straddle the fence and celebrate victory no matter what happens, not a terrible position.

Not claiming you do this, but its just as easy to predict a winning record year after year, and never get called out for it. The same people, say the same thing, every single year. 9-7. 10-6. X,Y and Z are sure wins, we have an easy schedule, and so on.
