I've been hearing a lot of fans making excuses for their team's seasons being over. And surprisingly one I've been hearing pretty often is "we travelled a lot."

While researching this to see if there's any truth behind it, I found a study over on The Sports Geek. It turns out, there is absolutely no correlation between a team's performance and their total miles traveled.

If anyone actually wants to read the full article (there's lowkey a lot to go through) let me know and I can put it in the comments. But I thought this was a cool myth to bust.
