If the Yankees win the World Series this year then it will complete, by far, the worst pro and college sports year of my entire life. I've been following
professional and college sports for about 3 and a half decades now (since the mid 70's) and I honestly can't think of a crappier sports year than this
past one. If the disgusting, hated Yankees win then that wraps up all the major sporting finals for the year and a review of things goes like this:
NCAA Football Champs: Florida Gators (my most hated college football program, although most Big Ten teams are right behind them)
NFL Champs: Steelers (not my most hated NFL team, but certainly in my top 5 most hated), and my Patriots lose Brady on opening day, still win 11 games and don't even get into the playoffs. Sheesh!
NCAA Basketball: UNC Tarheels (my most hated team - pro or college - of all time). Yuck!
NBA: LA Lakers (most hated NBA team, and probably #2 most hated team behind the Heels). Yuck again!
NHL: Pittsburgh (better than Detroit, but not by much - didn't watch 10 seconds of that series). Blah.
Don't care about college baseball or hockey very much, so that's a wash.
Lefty hasn't one a major and Tiger is starting to look strong again, and of course I root for Phil and really don't care for Tiger Woods.
And now the only thing left to round it out is for the stinkin' Yankees (my #3 most hated team of all time) to go ahead and win the W.S. Might as well make it a memorable 2009. At least I'll never have any trouble remembering the worst sports year of my life if that happens. Nothing else is even close.
Gary "surely the end of the world is near for all these disgusting teams to be winning championships - everyone get ready for the Apocolypse if NY wins" O.
P.S. Of course I have now offended everyone on this board, because probably all of you like at least one of the teams/players I have referenced. Sorry, but I had to get that off my chest.
