I'll help you out going forward in life. People are incredibly stupid and mind-bottling short-sighted. The average hump is even more stupid and short-sighted than you could imagine in your wildest and wackiest imagining. The more stupid and short-sighted they are, the more certain they are in their stupidity and short-sightedness. See Kanell, Danny and any other number of mind-numbing talking heads that just spew stupid and short-sighted thoughts as a career path. Being stupid and short-sighted means you will always find new ways to be stupid and short-sighted. Steady work if you can stand it. Once you understand this, and are not yourself stupid and short-sighted, you will be forced to endure a lifetime of battling the stupidity and short-sightedness all around you. But you should never again be surprised at what the stupid and short-sighted are saying because you now understand the blathering morons are stupid and short-sighted and their words are as well.
Calculate in the fact we're discussing a rust belt fanbase that managed to fly to the wrong State for the big game and it's easy to follow the flippity-floppity of fools.
