We can all, from time to time, get carried away with our own homer-ism. We see the world through black and gold color colored glasses. Every call that doesn’t go our way, we conclude, must come from a conspiracy. Roger Goodell hates us and wants to see us lose. I try to stand above all this, priding myself on being even-keeled. Even last year, once I understood the language as it was written, I conceded that while the rule was dumb, according to the rule ‘the Outlaw’ Jesse James did not catch that ball.
That said, if we can admit our own biases we have more ground from which to call out others on their biases.
