Day 3: Day of mourning for Chiefs fans & Batman

Its an emotional night for everyone in the Yeoh B&B tonight. Our Chiefs team looked like they let an easily winnable game get away from them, losing to the NY Giants 27-17 ... Now, this loss means that the football season is over for the Chiefs. They say that grief has 5 stages, which we went through:
(1) Denial - At first, maybe the Chiefs didn't really lose this one, and we'll wake up tomorrow with a win. BUT the picture of Barber and Diehl's celebrating on the left here, doesn't seem to support that belief. (2) Bargaining - Then, we thought if we did a little more laundry during the games (incidently the Chiefs are still 9-5 when we did laundry), or cleaned the house ( 7-5 on this stat), they'd still be in the playoff race.
(3) Anger - Next, we got really mad at our defense that couldn't even tackle lampost in a cornfield, then switching the blame to ourselves for investing our emotions into a team that brings us up so high, then lets us down.

(4) Despair - Then, we realized that we were so distraught and depressed that dinner was even out of the question. and finally (5) Acceptance - The realization that its only FOOTBALL. We can always root for another team that actually wins all the time, or maybe watch more "Law and Order" where the detectives actually catch the crooks most of the time!

In any case, it looks like we'll be getting our Sunday's back now, with less stress of after-game venting sessions... Ahh... who knows, next season might be a better one than this one...

BTW, Binxy looked comfortable all the way through the game, even he might have silently been screaming together with us. We've taken to calling him Batman, and Benji as his Robin, as Benj's been following him around the house the last couple days, like a little superhero sidekick!
