No matter who you were rooting for in Sunday’s NFC and AFC Championship Games, it’s easy to call the day’s losses gut-wrenching for the teams on the receiving end.
The New Orleans Saints, obviously, have at least a few qualms about an uncalled pass interference penalty against the Rams. In Kansas City, the Chiefs have some choice complaints of their own that played a part in a defeat at the hands of Patriots.
But putting attention back on the fans: Losses like that are absolutely awful to go through. We’ve seen at least a few of them ourselves as Syracuse Orange, with the biggest and most obvious one involving Keith “Fucking” Smart in 1987.
