People knew what the warnings were about, they had paid attention to them, they had heard them, and they took them seriously, but they still rejected them. The warnings were rejected, not ignored.

Get the Rejectedmug. Urban dictionary is not comedy gold. Comedy gold is for the folks who went out and told comedy gold jokes, and made comedy gold with the awards. Urban dictionary is a site people log on to talk shit.
Somebody's playing up to your ego if they're calling some shit you typed on Urban Dictionary comedy gold, since there are people qualified to determine what is real comedy gold. They want people to take you for a joke in life.

The girl wanted everybody she was in contact to keep the assumption that everybody had a suspicious agenda.

Get the Agendamug. The Bears were the closest thing to the Yankees of the NFL until last year, winning more than any other team, so this loses identity they've developed lately isn't like them.
The Chicago Bears let a team like the Green Bay Packers overtake them as the winningest NFL franchise. Where has their fighting spirit been? They should've gone out and mauled the Packers.

Get the Chicago Bearsmug. Building a fire was hard to the girl, she had always had to try hard at life and common sense, she said. She always felt like she had to give over one hundred percent at everything (and that everyone else did also), especially sports (but none of this came from any authority figure or family member actually instilling this idea in her at a young age). She also thought she had to make everyone else's life difficult in the process. She always made it look like she didn't know what the fuck she was doing, and expected everyone else to be the same way, thinking of it as honesty (and expecting credit for honesty). How can anybody like someone who doesn't know what the fuck they are doing?

Get the Hardmug. Someone wanted more people to get in a line, this time a vaccine line, so they started offering everybody a gift card and a donut out of desperation.

If you have a 4-8 record, you're not usually going into games with too much confidence, the way a team with a 12-0 or a 10-2 record might do. Instead, you are almost to the point where you think losing the next game is the most likely thing to happen, so the little bit of extra confidence you would get from winning more games isn't there. A lot of people think it's ego that cost you a game where you were up in double digits, but if you didn't think you could get up by double digits in the first place, it's not ego or confidence that cost you the game, it was not allowing yourself to continue to believe in yourself when adversity came back. The familiar mindset of failure comes back, the hard part when you're underconfident is not letting it scare you to fail. You want for the game to be a good time for all, but a losing streak isn't a good time.
It was underconfidence that cost them the game. No matter what the coach said, or how much experience he had, they knew it wasn't their egos that cost them the game. A 4-8 record doesnt come with an oversized ego, it comes with a lack of confidence in your ability. Where a little bit of added confidence at times there was a lot of pressure could be the difference at the end of the game. Nobody naturally performs well under pressure. Nobody naturally handles a setback or a loss well. Nobody naturally deals with another person's desperation (to win at any cost) well. It's just as irrational to be underconfident as it is to be any other way, and that's why it's just as human.
