Vote: How have you overreacted?



LaDainian Tomlinson didn't throw for a single touchdown last week.
You've all been in this scenario, SportsNation: your favorite team has won its first two games. You're on top of the world. Everything is going right in your life; flowers smell better, the sun seems brighter, your fantasy team seems less terrible. It's a good feeling. So good, in fact, that you begin to question whether it'll ever end. Will your team win the Super Bowl? Of course. Go undefeated? Hey, someone had to. Wait a second, didn't they win all their preseason games as well?

Of course, you've been in the opposite camp. Your team has started off 0-2 and can't seem to do anything right. Your star QB? He's a bum. You could probably make better decisions in the pocket than he does, and you haven't played quarterback since Tecmo Bowl. Your genius head coach? Suddenly suffering from a severe head trauma that impairs basic mental functions, such as speaking, cognitive reasoning, and managing time outs. What's the solution? Fire 'em all, of course. Blow it up! Start over! There's no way they're coming back from this.

We'd like you to take a collective step back, SportsNation, and stop to consider your options. We know you love your football, and sometimes you're prone to overreact, but you may have gone too far this time. Take this simple psychological test below to figure out just how much you overreact.
