What do you do to calm down after a loss?

I like to drive. I will drive around town for about an hour or so.


What do you do?

Go to a bar and hit on women:)

Realize that there are millions of people in this world that would kill to be in my shoes if my only problem is watching my favorite sports team lose a game.

I log on to RedskinsWarpath.com and get annoyed by the ignorant, "world is ending" idiocy that permeates throughout this site after a loss.

It calms me down when I realize that worse than having my favorite team lose, is the inability to have any rational thought and panic like a meteor is about to strike.

I just remember how much I like the team and that all any fan can truly ask for is a competitive team, week in/week out.

yeah, agreed. I wanted to post last night but I knew what'd I be getting so i didn't bother. Rationality has no place here after a loss.

I talk to my kids. It makes me realize that there is much more important things in life then my favorite football team losing.

Same here.

A sane person calms down fairly quickly when they put it in the perspective.

Same here, except my 1-year old can't say much back other than Da-Dee. But that's definitely enough to put the loss out of my mind.

Kinda like 742--try to put it in a more global perspective. Than I watch Gibbs presser--that helps calm me down for some reason. And the Warpath helps, if only to realize that there are others "suffering" as much as me over this, and some have gone completely nuts! ;)

Watching the cowboys lose helps too--oh, wait. Dang.
