    I feel like there was a thread like this once upon a time, people were talking about things that maybe helped them think differently about sports, that they got a new perspective or insight from, could be about anything really... Was reminded because I just mentioned The Drunkard’s Walk by Leonard Mlodinov in another thread. It’s about the vastly underestimated role of randomness in everything. Changed my thinking about a lot of things, and he talks a lot about sports. *two thumbs up.

    Yeah, it's a struggle thread...


    Or maybe it made you even more rabid and you want to stick somebody's head in a blender right now...? Not my call.

    I'm feeling a lot of dissociation. I'll talk to my therapist.

    Have you thought about seeing @Killatron 2000 's psychic? I think it helps him.

    Have you thought about talking to @JCDenton regarding making graphs? I think it helps him.

    Too soon for a joke about "Shut Up and Listen" by Tilman Tortilla?

    But honestly every year there are psychological articles about sports legitimately increasing people's angst and depression, even if it's in a minor way. That's why so many people have detached from Clutchfans this year and the game threads are like 4 pages.
