Dark Side Failing

Far be it from me to take joy in other’s troubles… uh, ok maybe sometimes, like right now! The Triumvirate of Evil has fallen on hard times and I couldn’t be happier. Let’s review their troubling situations.

• The pond scum that is the Lakers don’t appear to be in that much difficulty only down 2-1 to Phoenix. But I predict the Suns take the next two games, hoist their egos to the curb and suddenly the Lakers appear to be on the verge of a complete breakdown. Kobe will demand changes. Kupchak will attempt to work some magic but by next season the Clippers will be the best team in Los Angeles. A guy can dream, can’t he?
• The Yankee juggernaut has lost 7 straight games even after spending dollars equivalent to the gross national product of Cameroon, Chad and Botswana combined. (Didn’t look that up, I’m just guessing.) They have the 2nd worst record in the American League and more people cheering against them than Rosie O’Donnell.
• The Dukies are the third piece of this tapestry of evil. The once (overly) proud program has been on decline as of late. Since 2002, Duke in the NCAA Tournament has lost to a lower seed 5 out of 6 years, including last year’s devastating loss to Virginia Commonwealth (who?) in the opening round. It was glorious!

Isn’t it good to see the bad guys getting their just desserts?
