I wish I remembered which commentator on one of the networks used this... but he off-handedly said, correctly, "Look, we all have recency bias." (Maybe it was an MVP conversation or a "greatest ever" conversation, I dunno.)
Recency bias is a real thing. It's exactly what it sounds like, or pretty close: The most recent thing in your memory is disproportionately represented in your memory. It's one of a ginormous list of biases we should be on the lookout against, but aren't, as thinking animals. (And we're even less on guard as fans, because "fan" means "fanatic." That's why some people in SF still think Montana is the GOAT.*)
But as good as some commentators are with the Xs and Os (and that's rare), it's special when one of them understands terms underlying other fields of study, no matter how basic.
Now I'm not saying he's Norman Einstein or anything... but kudos!
(PS... "It's not rocket science...")
* SF fans think this because of confirmation bias; to show how tricky this gets, part of their confirmation bias involves accusing all other fans of recency bias.
