Funny thing about pro sports. One team&#39;s mess is another team&#39;s messiah. In Toronto last week, the Vince Carter era came to a close, and not a minute too soon.

FOXBORO, MA -- Itâsa clichÃ© that is used far too often, but unfortunately thereâs no real other way to say it. Good teams find ways to win games, bad teams find ways to lose them.

Usually at sporting events, people know who wins and who loses or who comes in first, second, third and so forth by the score. In fact, there is no other way to run athletic competitions; most would agree
