I will say this. I was much happier on Tuesday last week compared to today after the loss against Washington.

It has been scientifically shown that following a sports game the male fan will experience an alteration in their levels of testosterone. After a loss it goes down dramatically, after a win it goes up drastically. These are also dependent on the amount "invested" in the team.

That explains why the population in Northern Ohio is dropping.

Not as bad as southern Ohio.

Does losing affect my mood?

Used to. But in the last while, I guess I'm just used to it, so no, losing does not affect my mood.

Winning? Yes, that affects my mood. My mood has not been affected recently.

To say it has no effect at all would not be accurate. But the way we lose has the greatest impact on the level of disapointment to me.

I don't care as much as I use to, it took me a long time to figure out it's not worth making your life miserable over 53 idiots and a clueless coaching staff but I finally have. I'd be lying if I said it doesn't affect me at all, it still does to a certain degree, but not as much as it used to.

It gets to me for a couple of days.. then I move on.. I'm tired of being disappointed by this team... it gets old really quick.

Funny thing.. no matter how we end the year, I always seem to get my excitment back by the time the FA Signing period comes in to focus, then the Draft then TC.. by that point I'm pretty hyped up again....

Last year, they managed to keep me excited all year.. even when we lost.. but this year,.... oh man,, it's tough.

Someone once said "You learn from it, bury it and move on". All loses are valid till the end of the day (or end of the next work day after hearing it from co workers) and then you wake up and move on.
