Everyone looks unbeatable until they get beat
1984 Georgetown Hoyas. 1989 Mike Tyson. 2001 NY Yankees. 2007 New England Patriots. 2008 Obama campaign.
I forgot this. There's something about a win streak that makes it look like it'll just go on forever. Like the person/team is unstoppable. Until it stops.
And there's something about a loss that makes it look like, oh, that's the end of it. But no, it doesn't work that way, either. I tend to forget this, too.
The pundits who were screaming Hillary is finished are now busy with Obama's on the ropes. Yegads. How did I get sucked into that? That's not something that remotely would have gotten me interested years ago.
Nothing like getting sick to give you perspective.
Bottom line: Lots of golf left in this hole.
