The world’s still spinning
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
OK, I’ll admit it. I listen to sports talk radio. So there I am Monday morning, and Jim Mora is talking with 790 the Zone’s Chris Dimino, and the topic is how big it is for the Falcons to have beaten the Steelers, and Mora says, basically, bunk. Sure, 4-2 is better than 3-3, but 3-3 is only one game worse, and the world wouldn’t have ended at 3-3, and it’s a long season.
So I thought about Georgia Tech, which is 5-2 (3-1 ACC). The sky didn’t fall when Tech lost at Clemson. The end didn’t come. Tech didn’t even get knocked out of first place in the Coastal Division.
We in the media deal in extremes. Losses become crises. Victories become championships. Sometimes, everybody needs to slow down, take a deep breath, and resist the temptation to judge the remainder of the season on the basis of the last game.
Me, I’m waiting for Tech-Miami.
