"I was certain, in a way that most people will find smug, that the Yankees wouldn't lose to the Orioles. They're our little brother. They can't win." - Shane Ryan, Grantland columnist
"smug - highly self-satisfied" - Merriam-Webster
Yes, most people will find it smug because it's the very definition smug. But the most revealing part is how the author uses the word "our," which is kind of sad when one is being so completely condescending on the basis of other people's athletic performance.
