Ouch Time

ABC sports reminded us that for every uplifting 'thrill of victory' there was an equally downtrodding 'agony of defeat'. That agony made a big impression on us. While everyone knows the 'agony of defeat' was that skier wiping out on the ski jump, few can recall what the 'thrill of victory' was. Maybe it's because losing is more bitter than winning is sweet. Or it could just be that we like seeing someone else bite it harder than we did. So, here's a tribute to those who bit it hard, and hopefully, got up, brushed off, and went back at it.

"Ouch"

What else can you say?

And of course, the most classic ouch of them all . . .


 

Cowboys 20, Dolphins 19

Cowboys vs Redskins highlights

The Cowboys managed to hold off the Redskins, and win a hard fought contest that many thought should have been an easy victory for the Pokes. However, even though Dallas has won 6 of the last 7 meetings between these long time rivals, 12 of the last 16 have been decided by less than a touchdown. Historically, Cowboys-Redskins matchups have been to-the-last-down slugfests irregardless of their comparative standings at the time. In 1989, when Dallas went 1-15, their only win was against 10-8 Washington. In 1991, when the Redskins went 14-2 and won the Super Bowl, one of those two losses was at the hands of the up and coming Cowboys. In 1993, when Dallas was 12-4 and on their way to another Super Bowl crown, one of their defeats was to a Redskin squad that finished the season 4-12. So, you can never assume that one of these teams will score an easy win against the other. I don't care what the line is, I would never bet on a Cowboys-Redskin game.
