I have to admit that I get a little down when my NFL team loses. I should probably have outgrown that by now. Anyone else?
I used to follow the NFL, but now I can't, due to knowing what those concussions are doing to those athletes. Sure they get millions, but many are doomed..and all are receiving brain damage each down.

When I actually followed football my team moved to another state and pissed me off so I picked the worst team at the time. It's about expectations, if I don't expect that they'll win because they're the worst team then I'm not terribly disappointed. So naturally a few years later they won the Super Bowl.
I donβt follow professional football, but I will say this: I forgot to pray for my college team yesterday and the result was that LSU best Auburn by one point.
My NFL team didn't lose. They tied. It's just as bad.
