Yes, but the players don't cry during the national anthem of those games. The superbowl is what all of us played for at recess as kids. It's such a rare accomplishment to even get to suit up for one, let alone play in it. To not identify with the agony of defeat for the individuals (not the organization), I dunno, maybe I'm just being a softy tonight. But I feel their pain. I feel the pain of the 49er fans that spent 10k taking another family member with them only to watch their team fall. Damn, that's a lot to invest in one game, but to go home with that empty feeling. It's the pain of being a fan of the game...
