A co-worker swung by my office today. He asked me if I felt bad about the way the Patriots won.
“No,” I answered, without hesitation. Because I didn’t feel at all bad about it.
I feel pretty good about it, actually. Why shouldn’t I? Do you think Bill Parcells and the New York Giants felt bad when Scott Norwood’s 47-yard field goal attempt went wide right? Did the Steelers hand the Lombardi Trophy to the Seahawks after Super Bowl XL because the referees made not one, not two, but three terrible calls that tipped the game in Pittsburgh’s favor? No? Yeah, I didn’t remember that happening, either.
Hey, I’ve known loss. Losing hurts. I’m not going to miss rolling in it when it’s a win. If you’re a fan, you don’t make the waves, you just surf them.
Hang ten, bra.
I was getting that at work yesterday too, WTF. You play the game, at the end one team has more points than the other, they win. It's pretty simple.
