FrustrationBlog...

Many people who know me recognize that I am a passionate sports fan. From 49er football to Penguins hockey, I am a die hard. Some accept and understand it. Some think its weird. While some don't really grasp the concept of why I am such a huge fan. If you don't know yet, go to my Youtube videos and click the video "A Moment To Reflect," and you'd understand why I am such a huge fan. Obviously I am typing after another frustrating Penguins loss. But this loss (out of all that's occurred during the losing streak) takes the cake. They are beyond a slump. You cannot be up 3-0 to one of the worst teams in the league and lose. That's beyond unacceptable. Frustrating is to witness that, I am angry, upset and just want to hit something. What is it about losing that I can't accept? I remember during my CYO basketball days, I would cry when I lost. My folks would yell at me for doing so. But to me, competition is always been a part of my life. Even now, that I am injured and can no longer play, there are things in life that I still cannot accept, and losing is one of them. It may be a different playing field, but I hate losing. The concept of success is definitely a strong trait, but the harsh reality of me not accepting defeat can be a negative one (No wonder I'm still single LOL) to some.

So to completely change it up tonight, I'm actually gonna post videos reliving my worst defeats as a sports fan. Why, you may ask? Because I have to learn that losing is part of the game. And though most of the times, I can't accept it, I gotta find a way to deal with it. To put it in perspective, if you're a Kings fan, I would put up the Robert Horry shot. If you were a Cowboys fan, I would probably put up Tony Romo bobbling the ball on the extra point that would've tied the game. Or if you were a Red Sox fan, I probably put the Bucky Dent homer or the Aaron Boone one. So for the record, I am a die hard fan of the following teams: San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Chicago Bulls, Seattle Mariners, North Carolina Hoops, and Notre Dame football. I guess I can't get any more frustrated right? So might as well show them and share them with the world... Welcome to my world... As a fan. Please tell why I haven't had a coronary or developed ulcers with all this stress LOL? Each of them has a distinct story. Enjoy, well at least at my behalf.

Pittsburgh Penguins: I was a junior in high school (2000), my Pens were in the playoffs against hated Philadelphia. Mind you this was Game 4 (Game 1 I underwent my right ACL surgery, and my first words out of recovery was what channel was ESPN on the TV's). The Penguins won the first 2 games in Philly. Game 3 was won by Philly in Overtime. So the importance of Game 4 was HUGE! I had a huge chemistry exam plus an algebra 2 test the next day and promised to study after the game started at 4:30. So you figured, game wouldn't last more than 3 hours right? Wrong... 5 overtimes and almost six hours later it was still tied at 1, when this happened...



Needless to say, Philly gets momentum, win the series in 6 games, I did horrible on both tests and Keith Primeau can never be mentioned around me without me getting the heebie geebies and shaking my head.

Chicago Bulls: You know as a Bulls fan growing up, I got so used to winning during the Jordan years. Then crap just hit when he retired for the final time. I understood the 17 win seasons knowing that they were rebuilding, but this story takes the cake. 2005, the Bulls were back! With a young nucleus, they finally made the playoffs after a 7 year absence. Facing a Washington Wizards team that ironically enough had employed Michael Jordan a couple of years prior. The Bulls won the first 2 games decisively but Washington came back to win the next 2 at home. Faced with a best of 3 to decide the series, the venue returned to Chicago and all was dead for the Bulls. Down 20+ heading into the 4th. Then the comeback occurred. Chicago guard Jannero Pargo hits a miraculous 3 pointer to tie a what seemingly was a done game. But the Wizards had the ball and all I have to say is Gilbert Fuckin' Arenas.



San Francisco 49ers: Happened earlier this year. My house was packed. Monday Night Football. Vs. rival Arizona. The Niners had just gone through a huge losing streak. Then a new coach. So odds were against them already. But they played well. Opening kickoff for a score and a halftime lead. But Kurt Warner and the powerful Cardinal offense led them back. With a chance to put the game away, the Cardinals couldn't convert and was forced to punt. The Niners drove. And drive they did till they got to inside the 5. Then hysteria (Yes this is actual reaction to us thinking Frank Gore was not down by contact and crawled to the end zone)

Needless to say, it was not a TD, but the Niners had another chance at victory...



SNUFFED at the 2.

Notre Dame Football: 05 vs. powerhouse USC. This was the end of their streak! Leinart and Bush going into Notre Dame Stadium. Facing touchdown Jesus. Their streak had to end right? It was a see-saw affair, a few minutes left, Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn gives the Irish a 31-28 lead...



But USC had a chance... And convert they did... Fuck first Bush and co beat Notre Dame, now he gets Kim Kardashian? Is the world one sided LOL?



Luckily enough I can't find specific baseball videos of my worst loss as a Mariners fan, nor any Tarheel highlights. So that will save me some grief... But why do I still watch? Cause for every 9 of those videos seen above you... One of the following arises...




Same game... 3 Overtimes Later...



...Always love it when its against the Knicks... Pre or post Jordan era. I love it.


You always know where you are when this happened. For the record I ran downstairs and hugged and picked my mom up in the air!!!



Ladies and gentlemen... That is why I keep watching...

Ode To Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air: Top 10 Most Memorable Moments

Shanezoola from NCV here to bring you another classic countdown. Today it is from a show that we all grew up in (if you were a 90's kid). You always remembered Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

1. How Come He Don't Want Me Man?
Will's dad is back and promises Will to take him on the road for the summer, only for him to back out cause of his selfishness. This fuckin' scene gets me everytime. Arguably the greatest 90's TV show scene of all-time. The acting was outta this world!
