a note of honesty...

folks,sometimes things do not go your way,and you need a break from the games,or teams that you root for... last night,i went over to my brother's house,played cribbage(split two games),had dinner,and watched the USC Trojans beat the Stanford Cardinal,20-17... my brother went to the University of Southern California,and it was his turn to go nutty over the game(laughing)... i basically sat there for most of the game,just smiling,if you know what i mean... i actually missed watching the Detroit Red Wings play the New York Islanders(i miss about two games a year,on the average),but i had an option to watch it on tape... i declined to watch it... in fact,i watched only one highlight from the game-the really sick(awesome)goal that Pavel Datsyuk scored to tie game at four,with just under 43 seconds left,to play,then i turned on WWE programming,and got myself lost in basic nonsense for the night... i learned a long time ago that a game is a game,but honestly,it took a lot of stupidity,and humiliation to go through,and my family knows that to be true... so,it is frustrating to watch your teams go without a win for weeks,and yet,you can still laugh,and smile,and there is always tomorrow,next week,or even next year,but you will always be a real fan,or a shareholder/owner,so you can very proud of your teams,and yet still be frustrated... that is the real reason to be a true fan,period...
