I swear, I had the whole thing written in my head. As a way of defending myself against a really bad week of picks, I was going to channel my inner Matt Eberflus and write:
Well, I had a horrible, losing week, but I handled it the right way!
Eberflus, of course, was the Chicago Bears coach who (probably) finished his head coaching career with the worst clock management failure since...well, actually, I can't think of a worse one. Any 10-year-old with a few games of Madden under his belt would have handled it better than Eberflus, whose team could only get off one hopeless play in the last 32 seconds with a timeout in their pocket.
Eberflus then compounded things by telling the press that he "handled it the right way." Then he got fired.
Yeah, had it all written in my head. Then I went and ruined it all by going 12-4 for the week, bringing my season-to-date record to 108-84-3. I am currently three games ahead of the top guy at CBS Sports.com.
