Message: [QUOTE="jimsonjunction, post: 1252458, member: 931"] Great points. I also think you're hitting on a common trait across all sports fandom. And it's funny because if you're the GM of a team, the worst thing you can do is over-value your own talent. But as fans, we tend to under-value our own talent. We know every flaw and every wart of all of our players. We don't know other teams as well, so we don't recognize their deficiencies as much. I'm always reminded of this when I read the "Opponent Q & A" on Nunes. For those who don't know, it's when the writer at Nunes chats with the writer of an upcoming opponent. Oftentimes, each writer ends up explaining the flaws of their team and how they can be beaten. It's kind of like the girl that's a 10 from a distance, but a 5 up close (sorry to be crass). In reality, we're all just a bunch of fives. [/QUOTE]
