When these sorts of losses happen, I go into the bunker.  That’s how I deal.  It’s tough to deal with some of the co-workers, but at least I don’t have to hear the talking heads on ESPN yammering away.  I can’t even turn on ESPN on the radio in the truck.  I just have it tuned to NPR for the week.

I’m in North Central PA, so I cannot lean on a ton of shoulders these days.  Steeler and Eagle fans are everywhere.  This site is helping, though.   While I don’t go to any of the linked articles and analysis, I find great comfort in reading many of the post and comments from the readers.  I especially appreciate the playoff analysis/wild cart hunt posts.

As a side note, I feel bad.  In the comments, I noted some guys saying it would be crazy to have rooted for the Eagles.  Well, I was rooting for the Eagles to beat the Giants.  I really thought we could win the Pittsburgh game, and I just thought that the division was within reach.  Personally, I hate the Eagles more than the other teams in the division.  Its probably more a function of their fans, but . . .
