Why do I do it?

nofavesWhy do I watch my two favorite sports?
Why do I clutch my pillow hard enough to rip the stitches during a power play? Why do I stop breathing during a penalty kill? Why do I plop myself inches from the TV screen during a red-zone charge, using my body english to virtually propel a running back through a defensive line?
I love football. I love hockey. (Oh DAMN, am I glad it's back!!)
But I love winning more, it seems.
My beloved Penguins have lost yet another game in overtime, bringing their season total to three OT losses. Sure, we nab a point for reaching the end of regulation with a tie score, but in the end, we come off the ice beaten.
So what am I doing now? Watching the Steelers on Monday Night Football, of course!
Go Stillers!!!!!
edit: Steelers win, but we lose Ben at the end... I can breathe again!
