My final pick
New England 24 Phila 10 I hate to see the NFL season end every year but this year is a little more dissapointing because we have no hockey to turn to. I guess I'll have to study up on the Washington Nationals for my sports fix. In our pregame Playstation 2 matchup Dan as the Eagles beat me as New England 30 to 8. As a father I always pictured that inevatable day where my son beats me at some sport for the 1st time fair and square. My minds eye sees us standing sweaty and exausted under a makeshift hoop in the yard,me proudly congratulating him and passing the great tradition of winning on. Enter the world of video games,and that warm picture fades to a distant blurr as I get beat almost always since he was about 6. I can very occasionaly come close to respectability by shamefully using the diversion tactic or some other unsportsmanlike ploy. I guess thats the sacrifice I make for bringing that damned thing into the house to begin with.

In games with Garrett, I am afraid that I long ago resorted to pushing the buttons rapidly and randomly in the hope that at least occasionally something would happen to let me win. This is particularly effective with those fighting games. I also occasionally get him one-on-one in a driving game at the video arcade, perhaps racing through the streets of San Francisco and across the Golden Gate bridge. My driving skills used to help there compared to the little punk. However, now that he's driving, I suppose that opportunity is gone, too.
