And in this case, both KC and PIT, this season, are the better football teams.
If that is glass half full, well okay then.
I prefer to call it reality.

I have a good friend who is a notorious gambler. He would call me the day before a Colts game and ask me what I thought of the Colts chances and as a fan, I would say they're gonna kick ass. Regardless of the opponent. If they lost, my friend would call me and cuss me out. I learned to keep my optimism close to the vest when interacting with the reality based gambler.
When you chose to dress down an optimistic fan who made a hopeful comment about the Colts going to the Super Bowl, you said they had zero chance of that happening. While in all probability it won't happen, there's always better than a zero chance until there isn't. There's nothing wrong with your reality POV, I just didn't see the need to dress down the fan for his optimism.
