        @WSJ @pabloknows Great article. I don't know about the premise that I enjoy a close loss over a win though.

        @NolesAndPhins me neither, not sure enjoy is the right word. I can see how it keeps your attention more and is more suspenseful.

        @WSJ Would be interesting to know cities studied and 2) how they ruled out whether fatal wrecks were related or a coincidence

        @WSJ Who were you talking to? I would much rather see my team bomb their opponent into the middle of next year than lose a close game.
