Rules for Sports Heartbreak
Dec. 25th, 2004 07:12 am1. Futility - Whatever the ultimate goal is, you can't have won it within recent memory, and preferably not at all, ever.
2. Competativeness - Your team must be pretty good. You must have had realistic shots at success. Otherwise, your team falls into the 'loveable losers' category.
3. Predictability - Just before failure hits your team, you've got to know it's coming. You've seen this before. You expect the worst. You know just how the collapse is going to go.
4. Repeatability - Your team needs to fail spectacularly again and again and again. One big collossal meltdown doesn't cut it.
Go Vikings.
