So after turning away from the Alabama/Texas BCS Championship game, I flipped to the Knicks game just in time to see them beat the Charlotte Bobcats. They are now only 0.5 games out of the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.
I found myself getting excited and then pausing when I realized, “Oh my God, I care about the Knicks.” No! This can’t happen. I want to ignore them and then be pleasantly surprised if they do make to playoffs but not be disappointed if they don’t.
This can only end poorly for me.
I’m not one of those shit-talking Yankees fans. I’m one of those Yankees fans who always thinks they are going to lose and doesn’t relax until it’s all finally over and then unleashes all the shit-talking he’s been holding in. If I had a motto or had to sum up my feelings on all things in one phrase, it would be “better to be pleasantly surprised than horribly disappointed*”
