The internet's ongoing love affair with 'Friends' and Sunday night's pseudo-reunion, set to air during NBC's tribute to legendary producer James Burrows, have given birth to loads of #content over the last few days — and at least one bit is relevant to sports fandom.
The "Jennifer Aniston neuron" has kicked around for years. It's not new. It's relevant, though, because it helps explain why anyone cares about stuff like a "Friends" reunion in the first place. Specifically, it provides something of a scientific explanation for nostalgia — and nostalgia is everywhere. People, maybe now more than ever, really, really like feeling nostalgic.
