No silver medal for second place

Monday night’s College Football Playoff finale didn’t exactly work out as I had hoped, though I suppose it sort of did work out exactly as I’d suspected. Over the past 35 years I’ve gotten used to Notre Dame’s football team beingĀ pretty good, not a champion however.

I could say the same thing for my beloved New York Yankees the past 15 years: pretty good, not a champion. And with them it’s even more embarrassing because they spend so much more money.

Actually I’m not sure whether the Yankees or the University of Notre Dame spends more money on their near misses; I just know I’ve seen two silver medals in a row.

Thanks for great seasons, guys, but if the Commanders lose in the Super Bowl I’m launching an investigation.
