My last post about sports fan psyche deserves a clarification.
At one point I said fans and commentators have to deal with humble pie. This was said in reference to the ridiculousness and absurdities of sports. What I didn't say is that you have to eat humble pie when you start to speak on generalities because you will be proven wrong.
Monday, before the Dallas-Buffalo game, an analyst (in reference to Green Bay Packer's loss to the Chicago Bears) said you can't have five turn overs and expect to win a game ever. Brett Favre threw two interceptions and there were three fumbles. This wasn't a crazy comment. Five turnovers looks costly for any game, but Tony Romo then proved the theory wrong.
On Monday night, Romo threw five interceptions himself and the Cowboys still won the game. All ESPN had to say is that it was an improbable win. Just a four hours earlier, it was considered impossible. Shows how little should to be taken to heart when ex football players start spouting theories on a sport where anything can happen.
They said a blanket statement and were immediately forced to eat their words. Considering they were slamming my team originally, it was a sweet moment. Fuckers.
