IT IS GETTING HARDER AND HARDER FOR ME TO WATCH SPORTS ANYMORE... THE JETS "CONTROLLED THEIR OWN DESTINY" AND MANAGED TO DO WHAT THEY ALWAYS DO... CHOKE! AND NOW THEY HAVE SET UP THE PERFECT LOSE, LOSE SCENARIO COMING UP THIS WEEKEND...IF THEY BEAT THE DOLPHINS, AND NEW ENGLAND BEATS BUFFALO, THEN THEY STAY HOME AND THE HATED PATRIOTS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS... IF THEY LOSE (AND THAT'S WHERE MY MONEY IS PLACED, FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING OF COURSE) THEN THE QUARTERBACK THAT THEY BANISHED TO SIGN THE HEROIC BRETT FAVRE WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS... WHAT A GREAT TIME TO BE JET FAN, EH?
SO, YOU SAY, WHY NOT ROOT FOR YOUR NEW "HOME" TEAM? BECAUSE THE ARIZONA CARDINALS SUCK EVEN WORSE! THEY COULDN'T BEAT AN EGG RIGHT NOW... THE LAST TWO GAMES AGAINST QUALITY TEAMS, THEY WERE OUTSCORED IN THE FIRST HALF 59-3... WAY TO CHARGE INTO THE PLAYOFFS, GUYS!!
BUT YOU KNOW, THERE IS ALWAYS A SILVER LINING AND A BRIGHT SIDE... WHILE WATCHING BOTH GAMES AND THE SNOWSTORMS PELTING DOWN, I WAS SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM WITH SHORTS AND T-SHIRT ON WITH THE SLIDING DOOR OPEN TO LET THE GENTLE AND 60 DEGREE BREEZE IN...AND THE BIGGEST SILVER LINING OF ALL IS THAT I DON'T BET THE GAMES (CAN I GET AN A-MEN)...
ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, TO SAY THAT MY MONTH PLUS IN ARIZONA (4 WEEKS TOTAL INCLUDING THE WEEK IN ARUBA) WAS A LITTLE HECTIC IS PUTTING IT MILDLY... IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL AND FRUSTRATING AND BUSY AND AGGRAVATING RIDE THAT I WOULDN'T TRADE FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD... I FEEL AS IF I HAVE LIVED MORE SINCE OCTOBER 15 (THE START OF JIM'S ODYSSEY) THAN I HAVE FOR A LONG TIME AND THAT'S A BIG PART OF WHY I DID THIS... AND AS I BECOME MORE ASSIMILATED IN MY SURROUNDINGS (SOUNDS LIKE WILD KINGDOM, DOESN'T IT?) I ONLY HOPE TO BE ABLE TO ADD NEW ADVENTURES IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN...
