I’ve sent the data to the lab and even crunched the numbers myself, and the results all come back the same, a conclusive: ‘2020 is the WORST year for sports fans, and maybe just the worst year in general.’ Meaning, there isn’t much to do by way of consuming new sports, so let’s go back and take in some old sports.
Specifically, I want to go back to last season. Back when the Tennessee Titans defied all odds and made the AFC Championship while still playing to expectations by finishing 9-7, the quintessential Titans win/loss record.
A regular season that started out bad and picked up steam towards the end for an overall product that felt like a moderate success was overshadowed by the indescribable triumph that began that postseason, where two wins against two heavily favored teams marked what are probably the first and second most important games of the Titans’ last decade.
