Sigh

Today is a very sad day in the history of Steve.

Today I rooted for the New York Giants.

Yes, they were the lesser of two evils. I am extremely glad that Terrell Owens and Tony Romo are not advancing in the playoffs. I am glad that the Cowboys fans will be crawling back into the woodwork for a brief time. I am especially glad that T.O. cried.

But damnit, I rooted for Eli Manning today. And for that I feel dirty.

To the Eagles: I'm sorry baby, I'll try not to do it again. Please don't cry Donovan, it ain't like I had a choice!

SIGH...

Comeback Kid?

It's pretty amazing how Hilary Clinton was nearly the unanimous favorite for the Democratic nod among pundits before losing to Obama and Edwards in Iowa, yet her win in New Hampshire makes her a "comeback kid". It's almost like watching the Eagles/Patriots Superbowl. The Patriots were the clear favorite amongst NFL experts going into the game. The Eagles surprised people and took an early lead and looked good but when New England comes back people start yelling, "Yeah! No one respected them! That Tom Brady's a comeback kid!" No, they were the team predicted to win that has taken the expert predicted lead. Hilary's no comeback kid, she's still the favorite. I'm also still rooting for the underdog.

Introductionary Comentation

Hey there and welcome to Robin Williams' Beard, a blog that has nothing to do with the look of the once popular comedian when he's depressed and/or in a serious film. It also happens to be my expression for someone being depressed.

Which brings me to what this blog is about. I'm from Philadelphia, and am a lifelong sports fan. So I'm depressed because we lose or come up just short. A lot. Getting used to disappointment is like drinking when your a Philly sports fan, the more it happens, the more you get used to it. Thusly, we expect and have a great tolerance for disappointment. So you'll be reading lots of rants. I mean, I just saw the Eagles lose to the freakin Redskins and the Phillies nearly blow an 11 run lead!!! What the hell man, what the hell!?!?!?!? ARGH!!!!

Um, yeah, I also read comic books, watch a good amount of tv and movies, and pay attention to the world at large. So I really don't know what to expect here. I guess pot luck would have been a better title.
