Ain't no overreaction like a Week 1 overreaction, cuz a Week 1 overreaction packs a whole offseason's worth of irrational panic or exuberance.
I think that's how the song went, but I don't remember, and I'm not looking it up because this column isn't about research. It's about reaction. A specific kind of reaction. OVER-reaction.
Oh yes, that's right. It's Overreaction Monday. Week 1 style. Which is especially nutty.
See, the problem with Week 1 is that it carries with it so many of your hopes and dreams. Your team hasn't played a real game in as many as eight months.
