And speaking of cold, hard realities, what is with the New York Jets (of New Jersey), who don't seem to be able to catch a ball even when it's handed to them? WTF is up with that?! It has gotten to the point where I can barely watch Jets football. Just too painful. (And the New York Giants, who now own the stat of being the team with the most picks, ain't a whole lot more fun to watch.) If I'm Rex Ryan, I'd have Offensive Coordinator Brian Shottenheimer standing out there in the Jets practice facility with a hose and/or a snow machine -- heck, on an ice-skating rink -- making his wide receivers and tight ends practice catching the dang football in the worst possible conditions until they can do it 100 times in a row.
Lastly, I just came across this short video on YouTube, whose alternate title should be "Ever Had One of Those Days?" and had to share -- as I think we can all relate to what this guy is thinking. (LOVE the shots of his face.) Note: My daughter, who just had her winter band concert (she plays the clarinet), heard the video and thought it sounded like cats being tortured. (Am happy to report her band sounds A LOT better than these guys.)

History shows us that in 1992 ace pitcher Greg Maddux snubbed the Yankees because he wanted certainty around winning a World Series. He signed with the Braves (for less money) and won his title in 1995. However, he lost to the Yankees in 1996 and Jimmy Key, whom was Plan B after failing to sign Maddux. (By the way, the Yankees went on to win the Series in 98, 99 and 00)
So maybe there's a silver lining here.
My head is hung low....soooo low...
Well, at least this doesn't affect the Nationals. Oh, wait...
@Dave S.: It won't be a Merry Cliffmas for us Mets and Nats fans, that's for sure.
@The Daily Del Franco: Silver lining for whom? I got one "ace" who punches people out, another with a bum shoulder, and a third who can't stop licking himself!
"Am happy to report her band sounds A LOT better than these guys."
That's not exactly difficult...although I have to admit that my first reaction was that it was a LOT worse than my son's sixth-grade band concert, too. Except these guys only played a scale; you really haven't lived until you've heard "La Bamba" massacred at a funereal pace (it was so slow I didn't recognize it till they were half done!) by a group of kids who's been playing their instruments for three whole months. My daughter and I still nearly pee our pants laughing at the memory of that particular concert, and it was 15 years ago!
