The Purest Joy: Watching the Other Guys Tank
Update: 2025-10-09
Description
BT and Sal dive into the fiery psychology of the sports fan, debating the polarizing idea that it's emotionally safer—and ultimately more rewarding—to root for teams to lose rather than rooting for your own team to win. Sal argues that because most teams fail most of the time, betting against the field offers a higher success rate for fan happiness, especially after the Yankees' latest playoff collapse. The guys analyze the pain of seeing a rival's champagne celebration and why embracing the negativity might be the key to a healthier, albeit darker, kind of fandom.
