A Giant Disappointment

This weekend was easily one of the worst sports experiences of my life. In addition to the New York Football Giants pooping the bed (I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again…if Plax had just opted to sport some practical yet stylish dungarees for his night out, rather than the sweatpants with a defective waistband, the Giants wouldn’t be golfing right now; they’d be preparing to play the Cardinals), DePaul lost the battle for the Big East basement with perennial conference doormat University of South Florida and Fordham remained winless in conference play in their loss to Xavier. As the losses piled up throughout the weekend, I sunk deeper and deeper into depression. In fact, I haven’t been that upset since this show was cancelled. So to tackle this depair, I decided the most sensible thing to do was to self-medicate with a healthy dose of Jameson and this movie. Fortunately several tumblers of Irish whiskey and the hilarious antics of Squirrel Murphy are enough to pull anyone out of the deepest of funks.

With my spirits adequately lifted, I realized that I had important business to attend to. After all, Sunday night signalled the end of the first phase of JC/Robot's first ever smack talk contest. Our staff was faced with the onerous task of sifting through a plethora of fine suggestions to decide on an elite group of finalists. Now it's up to you, our dedicated readers, to decide who will take home the coveted prize and, more importantly, the honor of being named the Smack Talk King of JC/Robot.com.

So thanks to all of you who took the time to post. And to those of you who didn’t make the final cut, rest assured that there will be more opportunities in the coming months to win fabulous prizes and the respect of the JC/Robot faithful.
