Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2395454, member: 6761"] Not to say I told you so, but I told you so. Geno is relieved that the streak ended. If it had hit (say) 200, it would have been unnatural. No one would have taken the streak seriously, because it would have been so over-the-top that it must be because of excessive talent, rather than talent + effort. DG: [I]So it’s liberating to no longer have the winning streak?[/I] GA: Oh yeah. Absolutely. I was talking to one of my friends and he said to me, ‘I ran into you after the game in Dallas late at night and I didn’t know how to approach you. I didn’t know what to say. But when I saw you we started talking and you were calm and O.K., no problems.’ And I said, yeah, because it didn’t take me long to realize right after that game, wow, this is the best thing that could’ve happened to us. Once you get past the disappointment of losing, once you get beyond that, you really start to look at it as: we really needed this more than we needed that win. Because this is something that regenerates us. There has to come a point where you have to start over. That’s how life is. We were defying the laws of nature there for a while. [/QUOTE]
