My sports fandom is a study in contrast: I’ve always approached sports with a deep analytical focus and historical base while being absolutely illogical in my emotional application of those insights.
I’ll give you an example.
In 2004, I saw great promise in a Bears defense in its first year under Lovie Smith, and after a 1-5 start we ripped off a three-game winning streak starting on Halloween. That brought us to 4-5, with a defense that produced 13 sacks, 10 takeaways, two touchdowns and one walk-off safety.
Nothing about that streak struck me as flukey.
