    I think I've found "the realist". He's the guy clapping at 8:23

    There's two really good parts to this.

    From 3:40-3:50 there's someone looking for a high five... then gives the air a high five and goes "yeaah!"

    then, around the 9 minute mark, you can see "The realist" go off camera... presumably to look up the next team to jump on the bandwagon for. That's why he has that inquisitive look when he returns to the camera.

    A guy should do more than that before he's banned. Sly was trigger-happy.

    People will start leaving the board if they type in fear. Is Sly really the best man for the job?

    Or is this Denny's fault?

    Do mods live in cold caves and crawl out like spiders when the Moon is high?

    Here's to hoping the bandwagon is crossing a high, narrow bridge.

    I still find it amazing that a fan would not only admit, but embrace being a "bandwagon fan." This is the stuff of 8 year olds.

    Is this a real thing? I have heard of people being a fan of an individual, so they become a fan of whatever team they are on, but to be openly bandwagon?

    We need a new term for this....
