"Why My Favorite Teams Make Me Drink"

We have all been there before. Sitting on our couch watching our favorite sports teams play. Some times their performances are good and other times not so good. I sometimes wonder if I am going to die someday in the middle of a game where one of my favorite teams is just frustrating the crap out of me.
At this point and time I would have to say its not that big of an issue for the majority of my favorite teams. My biggest worry though, like every year is the Colts run defense. There are times where I wonder if we could just grab a few fat guys off the street and just throw them on the defensive line and see if they could do better. Teams are just stupid to throw the football against the colts. Just run the football and control the clock, take a page out of the Jaguars book. The Jaguars are not a good football team but they always play the Colts tough because of their gameplan. Julius Jones will probably have over 100 yards against the Colts this week if the seahawks can keep it close.
The Atlanta Braves in years past have given me nothing to complain about during the regular season. It is the post season that makes me want to drink untill I fall over. Fourteen straight division titles and only one world series in 1995. I was 12 years old in 1995 I could not even celebrate properly ( by properly I mean going to a bar and drinking as much as possible and spilling beers on my braves shirt) The fact that the braves are no longer on TBS also wants to make me drink because there is less revenue coming in which in return means the braves are not going to have as much money to spend on the team. They need another bat, the pitching is solid but unfortunatley it looks like they are going to be a few games back of Colorado.
The Indiana Pacers. Where do I start? I love the Pacers to death but they are way over the limit for white guys on a NBA roster. Since Reggie left that team took a turn for the worse. They can not play defense. They may score 110 points in a game but hell they will give up 116 that same night. I like the good young group they got right now and they will have salary cap space after the 2010-11 season to spend on some players, so things look bright for the future. The past few seasons though I have dropped a lot of F bombs at conseco fieldhouse. Good thing they got a bar on site for situations like that.
Indiana University basketball. I blame the people who hired Kelvin Sampson. The man was already under investigation and what do they do. Hire him as a coach. Why not lets just run this program into the ground, because thats exactly what happened. I turned on the TV to watch a game last year and had no clue who the hell was playing baskteball. I mean I thought those kids played in the intramural league the year before. I have some eligibility left and I considered giving Tom Crean a call. "Hello Mr. Crean could you use a 6'6" center with limited shooting range (and by that i mean lay ups) and can only play hard for 5-6 minutes before I need a break." I mean I think I could of contributed.
Well folks your probably wondering what about Florida. All is well in Gainseville. I mean I can not complain about winning national titles. Tim Tebow is a prophet. Before you comment on the concussion I have a question for you. Did Tim Tebow get a concussion? Or did a concussion get Tim Tebowed?
