Why do I even bother?

With the exception of perhaps the most magical world series comeback in 2001 (remember Luis Gonzalez's bloop GW single against Mariano Rivera in the 9th inning?), I have been let down on almost every occasion by all of the teams that I love.

Top 5 sports disappointments of Ross' 30 yrs

5. 15 years of BYU Basketball futility. I am not asking for a Final Four appearance, just win a first round game! Please! Stupid Texas A&M, stupid offensive rebounds. Box out! How hard is that?

4. Suns losing to the Bulls in the 1993 Playoffs (Triple OT, etc.) - stupid MJ.

3. The Sun Devils going undefeated in 1996 in football go to the Rose Bowl and score a touchdown late against the Luckeyes and then they give up a crazy hail mary to lose. Goodbye national championship / perfect season.

2. The Suns losing to the Spurs last year because of retard Bob Horry and lame David Stern. There is not spirit vs. letter of the law discussion when it comes to guys coming off the bench, but we can just change all of the rules around when we find out all of our referees are gambling. Stern you are a stain.

1. Argentina losing to the Germans in 2006 in the World Cup. Argentina leads the whole match and then their goal tender gets taken out. The backup comes in and gets beat and then it goes to OT and then to penalty kicks and they lose (when they were a popular pick to win it all).

Why does the World Cup loss hurt the worst? I will tell you - it only comes around every 4 years.

Well, at least I have BYU Football season to look forward to - some say they could make it to the BCS....I might just get my hopes up.

At least you have BYU Football. They will be very good year. The BYU basketball season will be better next year if Trent can finally put it together.
