How would you feel if the star player on your opponent's team is injured and unable to play?

Would you say out loud "That's a shame" because your team's victory is always sweeter when the opponent is at full strength. (Good Sport)
Or, would you be quietly glad since it gives your team a better chance a victory? (Poor Sport)
The reason I'm asking is I'm kinda torn this week: We play Georgia (Jawja) this week, and D.J. Shockley is out with a sprained MCL. Our offense is really sputtering as the players try and adapt to Meyer's offense, and we are a walking mash unit ourselves. But we really need this win because we are two games behind Jawja, and if we win and they lose once more, we win the East, provided we win out ourselves. But our toughest conference games are behind us, so we've got a shot. Of course, winning the East will probably just earn us the right to lose to the West winner in Atlanta, but at least we will have gotten there.

<< <i>Poor sport - Just beat them please... I don't care how you do it - make sure after 60 minutes you have more points than them. To hell with Georgia! >>
I am sensing a smidge of bias in your response...
Sure it's the right thing to say 'oh I wish they were at full strength' but anything that gives my team an edge, I would welcome.
But for football it's different... if Peyton Manning isn't on the field when the Pats destroy the Colts in 2 weeks, the victory will not be nearly as sweet.
