I referred to Pride and Prejudice; I watched the older of the two the two BBC versions over the weekend. I like the Lizzie better in the old version) But I digress. I watch for the fun of it. When the Giants got jobbed a few weeks ago I was upset for say 15 minutes. When the Jets got killed it bothered me until Alias came on. I am a life long Yankees fan and when they lost to the Angles I morned for a day. But I enjoyed all of these games. I used to be much more emotional about sports. When the Knicks lost to the Rockets in NBA finals I could not watch most of game but then it finally struck me that this was destroying my enjoyment of the games. It may have mattered very much to Patrick Ewing that he did not win an NBA final but guess what it did not alter my life one bit. So I watch the games for fun. The win at all costs mentality is not necessarily for the enjoyment of the games nor is necessary for financial success _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
