Rooting against your team is hard. Any glimmer of hope can turn it all around, and has....at least for a little while.
I know that the San Diego Chargers are 3-8. I know that, even if they win all or most of their games for the rest of the regular season, making the NFL Playoffs is a huge long shot for them. That being said, until they lose a 9th game, I'm going back to rooting for them to win.
Going back a few weeks, I've been using the Chargers' record as a way to negotiate my feelings.
