Sean Pendergast ranks the categories of gut punches to the Houston sports world.
Rocket fans cried over this. and lamented the lot in life that we've been given by pledging our loyalty to our Houston sports teams. However, we need to apply some perspective here. Not all gut punches are created equal. The unanswered prayers to bring us Victor hurt, but these wounds will heal. Some gut punches leave permanent trauma.
So let's put this in a language that we in Houston can all, unfortunately, speak fluently — here are the levels of gut punches as depicted in hurricane severity categories, Cat 1 through Cat 5:The lowest level of gut punch are the ones that don't directly impact a big game or a whole season. They instead impact more esoteric things like roster building and drafts. This is where we plunk down last Tuesday's lottery. It sucked at the time, but you move on.
That hurts. Cat 4 hurts, and still hurts to this very day. But Cat 5? That damage is beyond permanent....These are events or mistakes that lead directly to the actual end of a championship game or round. In Seattle, they have the Malcolm Butler interception. In Boston, they have Bill Buckner in Game 6 in the 1986 World Series. Here?Again, no words needed. Just video....
So with the severity rankings laid out for you, Rockets fan, just know that losing out on Victor was only a Cat 1 Gut Punch. So fear not. You'll get over that pretty quickly. Listen to Sean Pendergast on SportsRadio 610 from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. weekdays. Also, follow him on Twitter at
