Busy At Work - Something to get You Through the Afternoon

Good afternoon folks. I am swamped at my day job but figured I’d give you something to check out to get you through the afternoon.
This comes from great friend of the blog Nicholas Montemagno at The Rangers Tribune:
Much of the media and many other private sites covering the team, including myself, have written off the Rangers chances of making the playoffs. We have said it is close to impossible and we have said that the team does not have the desire or will to paarticipate in the postseason. We say this for good reason, because what this team has showed us as of late has been embarrassing and clearly they do not know the meaning of life and death. However, what we say and what the beliefs are in the locker room are most often contradicting, which is why the players are beginning to install a “circle the wagons” atmosphere in which they lean on each other and ignore what is said out on the Internet and in the newspapers.
The main difference between a writer’s opinion and a player’s opinion is that the writer is going to base his/her statements on facts and probability, and they aren’t afraid to face reality and admit to it. The players, on the other hand, are always going to have hope and tell us that they believe, because really, at this point, they cannot do anything else but believe, otherwise they might as well just not even play the remainder of the season.
