What I’m about to say might sound ridiculous to some people, but thankfully, most of those people would never stumble upon this website.

Being a diehard fan of one sports team can really hurt.

There are 32 scenarios each season that make 31/32 NFL fans unhappy. The pain of a season ending then becomes even worse the further along your season progresses and again worse by how dramatic (or traumatic) the finish is.
