Yesterday there were two football games. I used to care so much more about sports than I do now, but I watched parts of both and the ending of each. The first game (Saints-Rams) should have ended with the Saints kicking a chip-shot field goal as time expired, but the refs blew a clear pass interference call. The Saints kicked the field goal, but the Rams tied the game and then won in overtime. It was brutal. The second game (Patriots-Chiefs) was exciting and well-played, but ultimately, the Patriots won.
I feel bad for people who live and die with their teams because yesterday was a great example of what makes sports really compelling *and* really difficult to watch. The Saints clearly got hosed and now their season is over. The Chiefs outplayed the Patriots for most of the game and still lost. Life is unfair and sometimes you do not get what you deserve even though you did everything right.
