You may be mourning that it's not your team that's playing in the Super Bowl, how the heavens are punishing you with brutal weather for that time you didn't donate to charity after purchasing Dove soap (the only soap in the world as far as this writer is concerned) at Duane Reade, or the fact that the Monday after the Super Bowl somehow isn't a holiday.
Just be thankful you're not one of the defenders who have to try in futility to stop Kevin Durant this February. Or one of the Bobcats players who got violated by Carmelo Anthony that one historic night at Madison Square Garden. Or that "sorry" wide receiver who can only sulk as Richard Sherman calls you out on national television, making you look at the days you were on PUP with fond memories. The cup is either half full or half empty, and as far as we're concerned, that cup is half-filled with boiling water waiting to crystallize in the freezing air or blow back and scorch you depending on what direction the wind is blowing. Or something like that. Anyway, here's The Best Sports GIFs of January 2014.
