I’ve been thinking lately about how much more satisfying it is to watch a complete long shot pull off something impossible rather than just seeing the perennial powerhouses win again. It feels like the "expected" outcome is becoming a bit boring for fans. Is there anyone else out there who finds themselves rooting for the total dark horse just for the chaos of it?
