Christ, you ARE young.
I've had that feeling so many times I've lost count. Some highlights:
- The Toronto Blue Jays blowing a 3-1 lead against Kansas City in the 1985 ALCS.
- Said Blue Jays blowing a 4 1/2 game lead in the final week of the season in 1987.
- Keith Smart's jumper from the corner to beat Syracuse in the 1987 NCAA final.
- Denver getting wiped off the face of the sporting world by the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIV.
- The Toronto Maple Leafs getting jobbed in 1993 against the L.A. Kings in the conference final...ONE GOAL from a Stanley Cup final against Montreal.
- Team Canada losing in a FUCKING SHOOTOUT to Sweden in the 1994 Olympic hockey gold medal game.
- And then losing a shootout to the Czechs in Nagano in 1998 in the quarterfinals, with Wayne Gretzky never getting to shoot.
- Minnesota blowing a lead late and losing in overtime to Atlanta in the 1999 NFC final.
- Same Vikings getting destroyed by the New York Giants 41-0 in the 2001 NFC final.
- And, most recently, Ottawa coming back from 3-1 down in the Eastern Conference final against New Jersey this year, only to let a 2-1 lead slip away and lose in the final two minutes of Game 7 to New Fucking Jersey.
So, yeah, I feel your "pain." Even though your team can still, you know, WIN A FUCKING CHAMPIONSHIP.
