Guys Remember This Moment

If this was the case then in the OP Godfather would saying that he does not feel bad because he expected all of this, but in fact he states the opposite.  He is in "pain".  He feels "bad" and "disgusted".  His preserving the pain and disgust all year long has not helped him dal with the disappointment at all.  All it has done is given him a full year of pain and disappointment instead of a period of Hope before the outcome is known for sure.

I am sure that in 2017 there were quite a few Eagles fans who sent the entire offseason clinging to the pain, nurturing the disgust, and preserving the bad feeling of a losing season.  The Eagles had never won a Super bowl.  It had been a decade since they had won a playoff game and they were coming off of back-to-back losing seasons.  So I am sure there was a large group of fans who were convinced it was "impossible" for them to win a Championship.   But when the Eagles won the Super Bowl they were no more happier than the people ho had positive thoughts about the upcoming season.  All they ended up doing was making themselves feel miserable for months over something that never happened.
