A New York sports columnist (I think it may have been Steve Serby) used to write
a weekly column during football season called "Mr. Loser Laments," that was
filled with tales of woe of all the football bets he lost over the weekend due
to improbable circumstances. I used to think this was just picking weird upsets
after the fact to create a fiction of having bet on the loser, but after the
late lead changes turning so many of my winners to losers lately, I'm starting
to see the plausibility of it all. Watching the Jets beat the Falcons in Atlanta
with the two-minute drill is just the latest, but it really brought home that
this is really one of those seasons where I can do no right. Just call me Mr.
Loser.

I agree week 5 was tough (8-6) and yet I still stand alone atop the heap and breathe the heady air of first place. Sure, I know it can't last, but for now it's the giggles.
