Yes, I admit it. Let's be honest, being a sports fan sucks. I'm still bitter about Jordan pushing off Russell. I still cringe when I think about that A&M hit that separated Detmer's shoulder. I still feel like Utah got cheated out of playing for it all in 2004 and 2008. Given all that, it's more fun to cheer for a team that is winning than one who is losing.
On a similar note, I moved to New England in 2000. It didn't take me long to start cheering for the local teams.
