Happy New Year?

As you all know, I live for sports. I’m not a fan of the greatest teams but they usually do pretty well and no matter how much I complain at my TV about them, I’m still a fan.

This month, however, has just not been fun. It’s felt like awhile since I’ve actually really enjoyed watching sports because of my teams losing and teams I dislike winning. Tonight I discovered the following results.

Since January 1, 2012…

  • The Jets went 0-1 and were eliminated from playoff contention.
  • The Knicks have gone 4-8, including losses to 5 teams under .500.
  • The UConn Huskies Men’s Basketball Team has gone 2-4, all 4 losses are to unranked teams.
  • The Patriots have gone 3-0 and clinched a Super Bowl berth.
  • The Giants have gone 4-0 and clinched a Super Bowl berth.
  • The Syracuse Orange Men’s Basketball team have gone 6-1 and are ranked #1 in the country.
  • And finally, while I’ll always be excited about them, I’m not too sure about the Mets this season.

So yeah, in terms of sports, it hasn’t been that happy of a new year. But things change, team’s get hot, so I’ll wait it out, as always, and keep watching, cheering and, most likely, complaining.
