Title: Levels of Losing
Post by: MarquetteBallin on January 02, 2010, 05:02:31 PM
per Bill Simmons, this is about where we are:


Level IV: The Guillotine
Definition: This one combines the devastation of The Broken Axle Game with sweeping bitterness and hostility. ... Your team's hanging tough (hell, they might even be winning), but you can feel the inevitable breakdown coming, and you keep waiting for the guillotine to drop, and you just know it's coming -- you know it -- and when it finally comes, you're angry that it happened and you're angry at yourself for contributing to the debilitating karma. ... These are the games when people end up whipping their remote controls against a wall or breaking their hands while pounding a coffee table. ... Too many of these and you'll end up in prison.

Too true.  Too true.  I commented to the GF today that is was a good thing we didn't have a cheap TV.   If we did, I might have put my fist through it.

And probably had a trip to the ER...

Rocky, I just scanned your avatar barcode with my Droid Eris. Thanks for making me smile for the first time since the game ended.
