Pre-2008:

The difference, my friends, is the weight of expectation. Last year, almost everything was gravy. This year, anything less than another trip to the Finals will be considered a failure (in the eyes of the general public). I'm very optimistic about this year, but it ain't going to be the joy-ride we experienced last year. Buckle up...
or, for all we know, one picture was after a funny question last year and this one was after the question about ray's kid's health and it was sort of somber in the room.
i mean, you may be right, but this is kind of a ridiculous thing to base that statement on isn't it hoops?
i mean, i have pictures of myself at parties where in one i look like its the greatest thing ever and in another i look bored. it doesn't mean i was ecstatic at one and bored at the time in the other, it means i wasn't grinning ear to ear in the second pic, you know?
