Some Sports Weekends Really Suck

I figure that the teams I root for have roughly a 50-50 chance of winning each time they play. This weekend was snake-eyes. Ugh.

First, Tennessee got their asses handed to them by Florida. That they lost wasn't a big surprise after seeing them play Cal. But, shit. They had the ball in the 2nd quarter down by 8. A touchdown (or even a field goal) gets them back in it. What happens? A fumble that Florida runs back for the TD. Game over.

On Sunday, the Raiders are playing Denver. They hang in and come from behind to tie the game at 20. They lineup for a game winning field goal, which Janikowski makes. Ah, not so fast. Denver called timeout just before the snap. They lineup for another kick and he hits the upright. Denver wins in OT on an Jason Elam field goal.

That night, the Angels, who are in first place, blow a 7-1 lead to the White Sox (who suck). Ugh.

On Monday night, I need Brian Westbrook to have a good game for me to win my Fantasy Football matchup. He gets plenty of yards, but the Eagles (let along Westbrook) can't score a touchdown to save their fucking lives. I end up losing by 3 points. Oh, and the guy I lost to had Elam as his kicker who shouldn't have even had a chance to kick that game winner. FUCK.

The great thing about sports is that there is (almost) always another day. Right now the Angels are whomping on Tampa Bay and Boston lost. This means that Angels will pick up a game on the Red Sox. Whew...
