No matter what any of them do, they'll end up ***** it up in the end. Have a ***** annoying day at work just to come home and watch the Reds **** up all night and lose. Then watch NC State lose in their final 4 game and now after not really paying attention until recently, i watch the Iowa game and of course they're shitting the bed. I ***** absolutely hate teams that win all the time. Oh, look. It's the UConn women in the final 4 again. It must be nice being a fan in an area where the teams do nothing but win all the damn time. Could you imagine living in the New England area the last 20 years or so. Or around the bay area? All those damn teams do nothing but win and i get to do nothing but watch shit year after year. I've got no more patience for the bullshit that goes on with the teams around here or the teams i try to root for because they do nothing but lose.
Zack Edey can suck a dick because he does nothing but stand under the basket because he's twice as big as anyone else, but how much do you wanna bet when they meet Uconn in the finals, Uconn wins AGAIN. I'm about done with sports entirely because it's nothing but frustrating bullshit all the time.
I go back to where the World Series was the only postseason games. You had to be the winner of the National League for the Reds to make the postseason. So, many years they had no chance. But I still enjoyed those regular games immensely.
I go back to when the NFL didn't have these postseason games -- just the two best teams at the end of the year. When college football just had the bowl games, not a playoff, and a poll determined the national champion. I still enjoyed the regular season when there was little chance my teams would be crowned at the end.
It's a pastime -- entertainment to "pass the time." The key is to enjoy the games without the reliance on winning it all. Yes, it's very frustrating to come close and lose, because of all the media attention on championship games and playoffs. But if one's happiness is reliant on winning it all, one will be miserable almost every year in our short lives.
