"Gloom, despair, and agony on me.
Deep dark depression...excessive misery.
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
Gloom, despair, and agony on me."
Those of us who secretly delighted in the corny humor of Hee Haw during the 1969-71 run on CBS television (followed by a phenomenal 20-year syndication) remember the song cited above. After the Baltimore Ravens lost for the millionth time to the Indianapolis Colts in the wildcard playoff on Saturday, January 16, 2010, this song popped into my head and stayed put for several days thereafter. It is with some minor reluctance that I now throw my considerable emotional and vocal support to both the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings, and I am mostly OK at this point. I've had a whole week to get over it. That fateful game starts in about 7 hours, and I won't be sorry to see either team move on to Super Bowl XLIV (do the math) which starts in 14 days 5 hours 40 minutes and 15 seconds from now (February 7 at 6:18 p.m.). Be there or be square.
My only hope, like any good Baltimore fan, is that Indianapolis beats the New York Jets today just so either the Saints or the Vikings can pummel them into bloody, humiliating defeat on February 7th. There! I've said it, and I feel much better now.
