I don't want to talk about it.
At all.
Maybe it it time I hang up my shoes. Maybe it is time to make a dramatic change in my life. Maybe it is time for me to stop watching sports. That may be too dramatic, perhaps I should start with changing the teams I love and follow.
And I am not talking about switching teams. I am talking about not following ANY team. And just watch the sports I love because of the game and nothing else.
I guess I do want to talk about it. I should be proud that my team made it this far. I should be proud that they came out in the 2nd half and played the way they should have. But I am not proud. I am tired of giving it my all, investing all that emotion and coming up empty.
I take losses hard. But I take it even harder when it is the playoffs. The further they go, the harder I take it. I thought I would wake up feeling better today but I am still empty and I still feel down and depressed. Not even a bowl of Count Chocula can fix this. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be a player and lose at this stage instead of just being a fan and lose.
Either way, a loss is a loss.
I'm sure I will get over it eventually. I mean this is definitely not the first time. And I am sure that once the season ends after the Superbowl I will be looking forward to next year.
At least there was one good thing that came from that Jets game:
I about died laughing when I saw that. It reminded me a little of what Favre would do.
Sorry man! But that is part of being a TRUE fan! None of this fair-weather crap that people do nowadays. I respect your faith in your team and if they hadn't wasted so much time on that last possession they might have completed the comeback. I am sure I'll feel your pain later this year when BYU eventually loses in the NCAA tournament.
ReplyDeleteI was bitterly disappointed that the Jets didn't make it to the Super Bowl this year; like the Pittsburgh Steelers really needed to play in the Super Bowl, again!! You have my deepest sympathy!
