...when it comes to sports, at least, there really aren't. I guess maybe starting your season 0-6. Not to jinx the New York Giants' season or anything...but seriously! They're looking less like former Super Bowl champs out there and more like pee wee players who have yet to learn the fundamentals of the game. There's still hope, though. In theory. They can still turn it around. The thing is, though, that each week that goes by without winning a game, the more pressure there is the next week to get that first win, and the more pressure there is from both coach and management and themselves and oh my lord, the fans, the more likely the team is to keep shooting itself in the foot. I mean, there's playing under pressure and then there's playing UNDER PRESSURE. One gets you to the Super Bowl. The other gets you lynched by a mob of angry blue shirts. And the more winless weeks there are, the more wins in a row you have to get, the less leeway you get if you want any hope at making it to the postseason. And pretty much every team in the NFL makes it to the postseason. But not if you can't win a game...
On a brighter note, the New York Jets are actually making their fans happy. And probably even some non-fans. We need SOMEBODY to win in New York, people! Watched Monday Night Football last night and they had a pretty exciting win over the Atlanta Falcons. Nothing like winning it at the very last second. Couple of bad calls throughout the game, but the Jets played well besides that. Those calls helped but didn't hand them the win. I hate to say it, but Giants, take note...this is what a winning team looks like...
