NBA Rundown

I gotta get mine!

We’re nearly two weeks into the 2012 NBA season and a lot has happened already. Thanks to the compressed schedule, we’ve had a chance to see everybody five or more times already. Obviously the sample sizes are still far too small to draw definitive conclusions, but there is more than enough to evidence to start making informed (and highly opinionated) observations. From here on out, I’ll be doing this in a weekly NBA Roundup column. Let’s get to it!

Jerry Jones Arrogance: This is why the Cowboys will always suck

I'm too sad to come up with anything witty...

As many of you know, I am a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan. I watch all the games, even though I know full-well that I'm in for nothing more than an extended period of anger, disappointment, frustration, and heartbreak. Nevertheless, I trudge on with my team, hoping that one day things will be different. Today's comments from Jerry Jones stamped out any last shred of hope that I had.

I don't normally do this kind of post for the blog, but after reading the transcript of Jones' comments , I simply couldn't resist. If you had any question as to why I constantly complain about my NFL lot in life, here is proof positive that being a Dallas Cowboys is the absolute worst torture that can befall any football fan.

Black Monday Fallout

Perhaps the scariest sight in all of Philadelphia...

Black Monday. The day after the NFL regular season ends.

It’s a wonderful day for fans, as talk of playoff scenarios (this team is in with a loss by this team, a loss or tie by both of these teams, and a win by this team….AAAAAHHHH!!!) is replaced by discussion of actual playoff matchups.

It’s not such a wonderful day for the coaches and personnel men whose offseason started a bit earlier than they had hoped. The NFL is perhaps the most severe example of the ‘win now’ attitude in sports. Even a short window of disappointment can serve to erase any and all previous success, and Black Monday is perhaps the best example of that.

Happy New Years, Adrian Peterson. This is sure to cheer Prince up!
