Foosball is the devil

Oh the National Football League, where being mediocre is actually worse than being terrible. Take for example the '06 version of my Green Bay Packers. They started the season 1-4 and I was having visions of a top 3 pick in April's draft. Since then they have won 2 straight making them 3-4 and now they have a winnable game against the lowly Bills on Sunday which would make them 4-4, you read that right they would actually be a .500 team, if only for a brief moment. All this could make a person long for the playoffs, and my heart does. Unfortunately my head says, "hold on there big guy." Realistically speaking the Packers should probably win about four more games this year leaving them with a record around 7-9 or 8-8. Which is a nice and mediocre spot, not good enough to make the playoffs but not bad enough to get one of the top positions in the draft and almost guarantee a top notch player. Instead they will probably miss the playoffs by 2-3 games and end up with a pick near the middle of the draft - the worst of both worlds. Ahh lets hear it for mediocrity!
