The 2-Minute
Drill – Week Four – Anticipation
By Ivette Ricco

Anticipation, anticipation, is making me wait - is making me
crazy…
Anticipation is defined as:
-
pleasurable expectation
- something expected
-
prediction: the act of predicting
- wishing with confidence
of fulfillment
Ah, how I love the pleasurable expectation
on Sunday morning as I wait for kickoff.
I predict and wish for a win
for my team with confidence of fulfillment.
As kickoff time nears
my heart starts pounding and my palms get sweaty. Alas, all too soon the euphoric
feeling of anticipation is replaced by reality. Bummer. ( an experience that is
irritating or frustrating or disappointing).
And so we have Week Four
in the NFL with its share of the good (the Cream) - the bad (The Crap) - and the
uglies (Self-explanatory).
The Uglies
Going to Kansas City, Kansas
City here we come. I didn’t have to wait long to have the sky fall in my
little corner of the world.
The
49ers were squashed like so many pesky little bugs in Kansas City. This was so
ugly that I became comatose and woke up three hours later to see the final score,
Chiefs 41 Niners 0. Not a single positive could be derived from this dismal performance.
This is a young team and they are going to struggle, but this was simply awful.
I swallowed an entire bottle of Pepto-Bismol followed by an entire bottle of wine
for dinner.

The Eagles got off to very slow start while the Packers came out swinging. The
Eagles fumbled twice but the Pack was only able to score field goals. After the
half McNabb seemed to find his groove and left Brett and the Pack shaking their
heads, again. | | | |
