Talk about taking losing a bit to far....

While I realize it can be upsetting when your favorite team does not win, this story is one that is disturbing as to how angry a New York Man became, he beat his mother to death with a barbell after the New York Mets lost a game on Saturday.

I have had moments of frustration when watching my favorite NFL team play and at times have turned the TV off in disgust or said some pretty nasty things to players (who of course can't hear me through the tv). One can't help wonder if someone got that angry if there was some underlying problem that would make some snap to that level to hurt both parents and end up killing one...

Being a Dolphin fan, you may have come close to doing a Benoit (it's been long enough, it's time for the jokes to flow) for the last few seasons. Who knows? Training camp may have put you in a snit so much that you might not reply to certain emails. ;)

BTW, who is the f---ing coach of the fish this month? (OK, that was just mean) Look at it this way, at least Miami doesn't have Vick to worry about.

As for this awful story, he is a Met fan. It could only end in tears.

I've decided I'm going to be the coach - I can't do any worse than Sabin...

:-)

Then I probably would do a Benoit or encourage some of them to do one.
