Say a FG kicker missed 4 fgs in a game but 3 of them clanked off the upright, that would be even more frustrating to watch than just 4 shanked kicks right?

Ever seen your basketball team throw up a desperate full court shot and have it bounce off the rim twice but not go in? That sticks with you more than when they heave it up and it falls 5 feet short of the basket right?

Do you need more examples? A miss is a miss, but some misses are more excruciating for a fan, especially in a must win OT game.
