My head says: "The franchise is rebuilding and needs top talent. We need to bottom out to get an elite draft pick. Lose as many games as possible!"
My heart says: "I really like the players on this team and it sucks to see them lose. I want them to be happy, and they're happiest when they win. Win this game tonight!"
I would say it's cognitive dissonance, but it's really a battle between the heart and the head.
"Tell me where is fancy bred,
Or in the heart or in the head?
How begot, how nourished?
Reply, reply.
It is engender’d in the eyes,
With gazing fed; and fancy dies
In the cradle, where it lies.
Let us all ring fancy’s knell;
I’ll begin it – Ding, dong, bell."
