Just remember that it is just a game. What happens in sports typically really doesn’t impact your life. There are many, many more important things than whether your favorite team won or lost a game. It really isn’t that important.

Game Time Social Media Timeout
Whenever I see the Packers losing in a fashion that could make people upset, I tend to stay away from social media. It just gets too negative for something that really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. I have more important things to use my brain power on.
Games are not life
When your favorite team loses, it doesn’t mean that the world is ending. If your team winning or losing is so much a priority in your life that is extremely impacts your mood, you might want to give following that team a break. For you, the games are entertainment, don’t do anything stupid when your team loses.
No more blackouts? Not so fast…
So the FCC has eliminated their blackout rules for sports. That’s great, but that is just the FCC’s rule, not the NFL. They don’t have to do anything. They just don’t have the governmental protections anymore.
The key to good comedy is… … … timing.
The Brewers were eliminated from postseason contention yesterday. Just in time for playoff tickets to arrive. Trolled.
Don’t put athletes on a pedestal
It’s time we stop thinking that athletes are more than just average people. They screw up and do stupid things too. Sure, they are famous, but we need to stop putting them above other people. I feel that they are being placed higher than they should.
Brewers 2015 Schedule Out
The Brewers 2015 schedule is out for those of you who are already looking at next year.
Remember, it is just a game. Not life.
I hate that I have to keep posting this, but I feel that people sometimes need to be reminded of this fact. I have written about this before in December 2013, October 2012, and December 2011.
How the schedule was made
Wonder how they make the NFL schedule? Here’s a look at how they did it.
Control Your Self – It Is Just A Game
Note: This does not apply if you are on an athletic team.
If your team loses a game, it is not life or death for you. Quit taking it like it is. There are much more important things in life to concern yourself with. If you can’t handle your team losing, you need to reconsider watching your team.
People take losses of their team way too hard. People will do stupid things that are not worth it. It is a game. It is entertainment. Not life or death. Get over it.
Also, don’t be so cocky when your team wins.
You are not on the team. Do not refer to your opinions on the game like you are. It is not “we need to improve” because you are not on the team. It is “they need to improve.”
The actions of “fans” after a loss is horrible. It embarrasses the entire fan base. When the Packers lose, the reactions make me ashamed as a Packers fan. The reactions are why Packers fans are not well liked.
Teams can’t always have great years. Yes, the teams do try to win (they shouldn’t be manipulating their results, but that is another subject), but they can’t always win. Don’t let a loss ruin your own life.
