I cant lie, 10-15 years ago I was such a big bucs fan if they lost, I would be in a bad mood for awhile about it. I'm still a big sports fan, but the older I get the more I realize how little sports matter. I find my self wanting my fantasy team to win more than my teams, which never was the case years ago(then again my fantasy league has $ involved). Great quote from bronx tale about sports which hit close to home to me as well, considering I was at the 1996 Yankees world series clinching game as an 8 year old:

Young Calogero: Bill Mazeroski, I hate him. He made Mickey Mantle cry. The paper said the Mick cried.

Sonny: Mickey Mantle? That's what you're upset about? Mantle makes $100,000 a year. How much does your father make? If your father can't pay the rent go ask Mickey Mantle and see what what he tells you. Mickey Mantle don't care about you. Why should you care about him? Nobody cares.

I'll still be a life long yankees/bucs etc fan regardless of how many wins or losses either team has for any period of time, but this team is not worth getting stressed out about, considering we are all used to it, but today was a new low for me with how they were acting like children..its also a shame because i'm going to the Jets game next week, first time in raymond james and tampa in general, and I am beyond stoked for it despite the 2-6 record, but talk about awful timing with this season, and now jameis hurt (im hoping he gets shut down for the year)

It's not fair to say no players care about winning, obviously every player would rather win than lose, but its safe to assume imo a lot of the players are just happy collecting their paychecks.
