I’ve been thinking a lot about fandom this week and I’ll level with all of you. The lack of a championship for the Buffalo Bills isn’t all that upsetting to me. Obviously I’d prefer that outcome, but I was forged in the era when “Boy I Love Losing Super (Bowls)” was fresh and creative. The loss doesn’t faze me.
Do you know what does though? The goodbyes. The fact that the season is over. The fact that I have to wait until the air grows warmer and all the way back into the next cooling cycle to do this all over again.
