good talk

I had 5 thou on Seattle.  I only slept 3 hours, but do this win or lose as I'm worked-up.  I woke up full of energy and mopped the balcony in front of my 1-bedroom apt (nice place, big, large picture window over the pool with Swenson and Flamingo in the distance, a great view) at 3 A.M.  I went into the gym and all guys were talking about was the game.  A young, Black, guy was livid ...I should be cashing a ticket! ... The Nevada Sportsbooks were furious as they would have won huge on Seattle, in the L.V. Review-Journal "Jimmy Vaccaro, echoing the thoughts of the majority ...It was a horrendous play call..."  Guys were walking around me with their heads bowed talking in hushed tones, as though they had heard that I was going to die next week.  A Black guy who works there came up to me ...That was terrible...  All this was really kind of them, but they can save their pity for someone who wants it, if you can't take a Bad Beat you shouldn't gamble.  By late morning I was feeling fine (I go into the gym for a 5-hour work-out twice a week, and I stretch at home for 3 hours once a week, that is, I work-out 3 days a week).  I felt sorry for Marshawn Lynch as he had owned the Patriots all day, there's nobody in the Country who didn't think that with 3 attempts, Lynch wouldn't have gone-in and won the SuperBowl, and he wouldn't have needed the 2nd and 3rd.  And the put-down Seattle Receivers who were regarded as being really inferior, who played like Heroes on the Biggest Stage, not just the one catch, of which I had never seen the like, but several catches.  Brady said that after Kearse's catch he thought the Patriots had lost.
