Answer: bias

Explanation: Bias is the inclination towards something; predisposition, partiality, prejudice, preference, predilection. It is an adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand often without knowledge of the facts. As a preconceived opinion or feeling, it can be positive or negative. Sam's memory of his football's team glory days as more successful than it actually was is probably due to bias, this is because he favors one side or issue over another and does not give an equal chance to another opinion concerning his team.
