Cheers and Jeers: Winter of Discontent

• Booze (lots)
  

Well we're nearing the holidays and this year its probably best to grab a carton of cigs and a bottle of your favorite winter booze (C&J recommends the brownest of the brown) to try to handle the Winter of Discontent (I assume next winter will be the Winter of Depression or Rage depending on which stage we of coping we are in)

Jeers: to Boston dominance. Its the holidays where I believe spreading the wealth is a virtue or some bullshit like that. Last year the Patriots won more regular season games then any other team in NFL history. This year is ending it with the Celtics on pace to set the NBA record for all time wins. Just remember every time the Celtics win, an angel loses its wings

Jeers: To the Economy. Yes there's lots of bigger issues than bowl games but its an awfully stark marker that you can get bowl tickets for cheaper than the aforementioned pack of cigs. Its going to be even more when bowl after bowl looks like an ACC Championship game.

C&J sees empty seats on Jan 1

Jeers: To 0-16. C&J doesn't have a big enough love of historic accomplishments to wish that level of suffering on any franchise. The Lions suffering masks how putrid some of the teams are this year. In the past 7 years there are around 2-3 teams with 4 or less losses as of Week 16 there are 8. Good thing the NFL trademarked the term "parity" otherwise the term would ring rather hollow.

Jeers: To Arkansas allowing Dick to be released. I think there are laws against that.

Remember its always darkest before the light or before things go pitch black. In either event while you contemplate if that light is the end of the tunnel or an oncoming training try to find some solace in the fact that the C&J gal of the Winter of Discontent is Kelly Brook
