why do ppl always over react to wins and losses.?

I have never gone from thinking my team great one week, and then that they suck the next week. I do live and die by my Ohio State Buckeyes though. When you follow a team as closely as I do, you start to feel what they feel. It's hard to watch intently, and not get into it. My wife gets on me about my emotions when watching the Buckeyes. She watches soap operas, but can't understand the way I get when watching football. It feels good to believe in something and follow that closely. We gotta have a diversion from life and kids once in a while, so we really get into the games.

yeah... must be more pressure and more panic causes them to win. they lose against the not-so-good teams because they probably are more self confident and don't try as hard as they would if the team were say, Brazil.

In our lives, there are many competitions in which most will be losers, and only one or two are winners. What is important is not whether one wins or loses. The essence of winning or losing, is the process, and how one handles it. For instance, a winner who wins through cheating does not achieve the essence of winning. Similarly, a person who loses because of something beyond his/her control, yet tried his/her best and handled it all with dignity is still a winner.

know that they fact that you are getting your life together is the best thing happening to you right now and those ppl are just the type that try to keep you down with their negativity...and the more they are hating on you most likely you are doing real good and they are just jealous they need to grow up.

Compulsive gamblers think they might win the NEXT one, and win really big!  They'd be so mad at themselves if they quit right before the big one.  So they keep hoping.  That's why it's called a compulsion.  They can't stop.  (Well, they can, but it's difficult.)

Children learn from their parents I have always been told.\nTo me it is just a game, if we lose. we lose there is always another game.. But when you get a bunch of ill mannered players together that have never been able to control their tempers under any situation, how do you expect them to behave proper when playing any game.\nAnd then they say will we are sorry, if they were sorry they should never have done it in the first place.\nAgain they don't understand where their children have learned bad habits and bad sportsmanship. The players should look in a mirror and see where the kids learned it from...

Whenever an "expert" says they have no chance it usually comes back to bite them in the end.  Flukes have happened in sports as well as life.  And sometime the underdog just wants the victory more than the favorite.  As long as they keep the score close in the begining of the game they have a chance

Why are you so eager to lose points?

If it's deserved ? Boy somebody is taking this way too seriously. Try to have a little fun with it . I personally don't know why either, if I had to guess I would say it's because alot of people aren't very nice, or considerate, and misery loves company. People are very competitive by nature and unfortunately would rather win alone than to cross the line hand in hand with their fellow people. But that's just me.

HA-ha.\n Winning isn't everything, but losing isn't anything .\n\nNo if that was that goal of the fight, I guess I was not part of the winnings.  But congratulations if you got to share in the glory. Good work Champ.\n\nThis post was worth a smile. So I win too.

It is supposed to be a team game.  There is no "I" in team.  How can you say one person is responsible for a team always losing.  Maybe your attitude needs an adjustment.

cool down - getting upset isn't good for you.  Plus, if you know it's crap, why let it upset you?  Show that you are superior and let them know "hey, what you are saying just isn't making any sense!"

Because people are so focused on their future. No one takes the time to worry about what's happening NOW or what to do NOW. All they think about is what they'll do later, or what they can do to help themselves later. Spontaneity has to be spontaneous, and not many people understand that. \n\nTo live your life, you actually have to be a part of it. Watching from the sidelines is only a waste of a good game.\n\n\nLive, Love, Laugh. ♥

Its the old adage  we want what we cant have. some ppl love the game and if it is right in your face the fun is gone.  sad i know but its the truth and truth hurts sometime.  but don't despair because when you least expect it someone could fall right into your path.  literally  mine did!! lol

What.. this seems to be two seperate questions here!! Firstly, people get fanatical over football as it is a psychologicl substitute for war. \n\nSecondly... don't 'chead' on your girlfriend. Simple answer.
