Unfortunately, it is my turn to write Rewind this week. I'm a day a late and a dollar and several picks short - trust me! My worst performance of the season, and it hurt big time. Why I decided to make some stretch picks, I have no idea. Maybe it was the Tripdaphin in the turkey, the lack of studying during Thanksgiving weekend, or even losing sight what was at stake. I took several chances this week and they backfired, much like Brady's '82 Chevy S15 back in high school.
Let's forget about me and focus on some some of the highlights of the week. First up,
Player of the Week - I'm close to calling it a tie between the Chairman and Chad, aka 4th Street Picks'em Best. Both guys had superb weeks. They only missed 2 games each. That is 14 out of 16 and nearly 90% accurate. Chad lost with the Miami and Pittsburgh pick while Brady lost with the NY Giants pick on Thanksgiving and New England. Because we don't like ties in this competition, 4th Street Pick'ems Best takes home the virtual Player of the Week gold trophy with getting all the Turkey day picks correct! Nicely done!
Pick of the Week - Nobody but the Chairman took the home field advantage with the Buffalo Bills to beat up on the mediocre Miami Dolphins. Brady had some nice insight on this game, and takes the Week 12 Pick of the Week Trophy. Nicely done -- again!
Loser of the week - None other than me for my pitiful performance that dropped me from 3rd to 9th...great scotts! Even Crap-tastic who missed the 3 T-giving games, beat me. I'm digging my hole, now. Crap-tastic can start throwing in the dirt.
Tips at Winning at Life - Don't shut out opportunity (True Story)
In SportsClip - a new hair cutting shop - a sign reads "We do not make change" on the register counter. A new customer enters the shop with a FREE haircut coupon for the MVP Treatment - haircut, neck message, wash, and shave, the whole nine yards. After the haircut, the barber or sylist, escorts the new customer to check out. As the cash register flashes $20, the customer whips out his coupon. Coupon accepted no problem, but then at this moment the customer recognizes the handmade sign that reads, "We do not make change." The customer looks down at his wallet, looks at the sign, looks at the stylist, looks back down at his wallet, looks at the sign again, and then with a smile on his face looks at the stylist and says, "Well, have a great day."
The customer only had a $20 bill in his wallet and wasn't going to tip at 100%. Opportunity to make tip was lost.

Nicely done birthday boy! I did my best to keep you company at the bottom of the pool this week. Let's blame it on our late-night hospital stay. I fully intend to distance myself from the rest of the pack this week once again.
