Sports have a funny place in the landscape of our world. It seems like every single real-life situation can be emulated in sports. Some of the highest highs, like winning a championship, can stick with you for weeks, and actually change the outlook to your entire year. Some of the lowest lows, like losing a favorite player in a tragic accident, will make you cry real tears.
