One of the reasons I like to publish this column the morning after games is that I like to think my initial, knee-jerk reactions to any outcome are tempered by a night’s sleep. I can more accurately consider the good and the bad when it’s not the immediate aftermath.
In theory, anyway. Sometimes it doesn’t work that way. Sometimes I’m angry after the game, still angry when I go to sleep, and still angry when I wake up.
Like last night’s game.
