I\u2019m not saying I am perfect; it is just that I don\u2019t make mistakes.<\/p>\n
We all do it. We struggle to admit we are wrong. Surely I\u2019m not mistaken, it must be you.<\/p>\n
We do it with our favorite sports teams. If we were to ask, \u201cWas that a foul?,\u201d \u201cWas that a touchdown?,\u201d or \u201cWas he safe?\u201d The answer almost always depends on what team you are rooting for. For Raiders fans, Tom Brady\u2019s \u201ctuck rule\u201d was a fumble.<\/p>\n
NB: as a lifelong Patriot fan, I would have to concede that it was an incomplete pass. After all, a rule is a rule!!! Honestly, though, it was a fumble! <\/em><\/p>\n
The higher the stakes, the more entrenched we often find ourselves.<\/p>\n
