Losing is painful, but at least I’m alive!
I am stunned! I had planned to spend the rest of Sunday evening after the Superbowl watching reruns of the plays, listening to all the victory interviews of the Patriots. I turned to my wife after the Patriots’ loss and said, “Now what are we going to do with the rest of our lives?”
I’m glad I have this upcoming Issue No. 111 to delve into. Losing is painful! Congratulations Giants! You played a terrific game, especially on defense. Brady hasn’t been pressured like that all year. I’ve always wanted Eli Manning to succeed, but I sure didn’t expect it would be at the expense of my team.
So much for predictions. I made no bets on the game, except with my heart. Silveira always calls me after these big games, but there’ll be no call tonight. He’ll busy himself in writing or in studying poker. Funny how men, especially, pour their soul into their team. It is total war without the bloodshed. Well, I’m the vanquished tonight, and it feels like a form of death. But luckily, I’ll live to fight another day.

Oh, no! 17 points! Losing is horrible, but 17 points is the Waterloo of chest-thumping. Better luck next year. (But, it was a GREAT game!)
