Bittersweet

Today sitting in 5th period English, the teacher quickly made the topic into something I thought was going to be really boring. She wrote on the board "Bittersweet." I thought to myself "oh god here we go again yet another boring period." The 45-55 minutes in that class didn't turn out to be so boring. She explained to the class that something Bittersweet can happen to us everyday and yet we don't notice.Then she gave us the perfect example the "Superbowl." She showed us how a team that was undefeated during their season can have a sweet time and in the last two minutes of the football game they can loose to a team with a record a bit worse than them. That was the Bitter part.
With that said I started looking at more quotes and I found a very interesting one by Allen Iverson. He said "I don't want to just go to the playoffs, I don't want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it's bittersweet." In football terms thats exactly what happened to the New England Patriots. They expected to go all the way after winning 18 games. As a New York Giants fan though I cant complain. The Giants came out on top with a bittersweet story and I cant complain. They made "Superbowl" history.
Super Bowl XLII Patriots vs. Giants 17-14
