Is there life after losing?

This is Dave Ross… from Seattle, where things are even gloomier than they usually are in February.

I have never seen a game of any kind turn so quickly.

I have never seen a team slip on a banana peel that close to the altar.

I wanted to grab the remote, press the 30-second backup button and just leave it there in freeze-frame – but it wasn’t my house. And they’d already switched to the Travel Channel. We watched some guy get a beer bath in Austria.

Except, you know – I’m pretty sure the sun will come up today.

You can’t always tell, but it will.

I’m pretty sure we still have Boeing, and Microsoft, and Amazon, and Starbucks! And at least four world class billionaires to go with them!
