We're Breaking Up

....."What are you all doing? Come ON!! Pass the ball, but CaTCH it!! Ewww"

That's all I seemed to hear when it came to the Jaguar's game against the Seahawks. The overall game was just sad to be totally honest. They could have done so much better, well at least that's how I feel and a few of my close friends. Some of the guys in the room were claiming they were breaking up with the Jaguars till this Sunday's game because going through that was too much. Watching your team lose takes a lot out of a fan especially when they are a serious fan...that means one that watches the entire game no matter how bad their team is doing nor how bad their team is losing. They are fully dedicated to their team and it hurts them when their team loses.

I'm tired of hearing people claim that they are fans, but in all actually they either bet on the opposing team, turn to the game only when their team is winning, and/or when they talk trash about their team after the game. Even when your team loses you should mainly stick to the facts, don't drag the team down in the mud because that makes you look fake.

So please people just stick to your team through and through!!! Where are my true fans out there!!! :) As for the Jaguars lets just see what happens this upcomming Sunday against the St. Louis Rams!

Point That Finger

People always say that "There is no "I" in Team." Yet everyone is quick to blame and single out a player when things are going wrong. It seems to be the most logical answer to why a team didn't score as much points or when a team loses a game. Rather than placing the blame on the team for having an off game or even just congratulating the other team for being better, people find it better to stack the chips on one person's shoulders.

I even find myself at times blaming a single player, even though I know that it was the team as a whole which lead to the lost. I don't really understand why it happens that way but its a trend that really needs to stop or at least make the other players own up to their mistakes as well. Some players get off easy because they aren't in the limelight very often, so when they miss a shot or miss a pass, its blown off. Yet when the MVP missing a single shot or has what we like to call "an off game", people are so upset. We place so much pressure on these people to carry their entire team to a victory, but its the team's victory not a single person's.

So when Dwight Howard, of the Orlando Magic, had an off game, many people tried to blame the lost on Howard. That surely can't be the case because there were 4 other players on the court that surely did their part to contribute to the team lost. Yes it is called a team lost, not a Howard lost. When you think about it, people are always blaming one person. I usually hear "Dang, Kobe lost that one or Wow, Howard really got us that game." That's why we have the MVP of the team, yet they can't do it all by themselves. They need their other teammates as well to help pull the team as a whole to the top.

If you find yourself blaming the lost on Dwight Howard, remember the team name isn't Howard and the Orlando Magic....the name is The Orlando Magic.
