In Need of Lobotomy

After watching Utah beat Alabama; BYU choke down the stretch against Wake Forest; and seeing the Colts hand the Chargers another game, I have decided I want to stop liking sports. I really mean that; I want to stop caring, stop watching, stop paying attention, and put things like scrabble and poker on the top of my fun list. Big problem though--I don't have a chance in hell of giving up sports; I can try all I want, but it isn't possible. What I need is a lobotomy; I need to have part of my brain removed so that I don't remember anything about sports. I'd seriously go under the knife if there was an insurance company that would cover a lobotomy for a depressed sports fan (unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover this procedure). 

I took Sammy to the BYU/WF game, expecting the Cougs to make it 54 in a row. For most of the game, things were going as planned, and then BYU did what BYU always does--they choked. If a game is close, count on BYU to start playing worse than me in a church ball game; its guaranteed that they will do this and lose because of it. 

As for Peyton Manning, he should have a career ending injury so I can stop hoping for a Peyton - Eli Super Bowl; it won't happen, and I still don't know how Peyton won a Super Bowl when he has the luck of Job in the playoffs. 

Anyway, I hate sports and beating my head against the wall hasn't erased my memory of them, so if any of you know a good sports lobotomist, please let me know.

This is Pax, I was at the WF game too and that was crap. I wish JT wouldn't recognize when he is off and start to pass the ball instead of jacking up more shots. But what do I know. I only played HS ball.
