Yes, I sure pity those poor Saints fans...
…winning blowout after blowout. How dull. They’d have so much more fun if their team wasn’t so dominant :)
This study basically just finds that fans are more elated after a dramatic, close win than after a blowout. Go science. Maybe they should check the elation level in the 2nd quarter, too, I suspect their results might flip.
