Getting Whipped by Mom

Losin' to mommy

Like many North Americans, I participate in a weekly football pool.  There are 33 of us in this particular pool and we each pick winners against the spread to determine a weekly winner and an overall winner at the end of the NFL season.

Among the 32 other poolies are my two brothers and mother.  I'm having a rough year.  I've been close a few weeks, but I haven't been able to close the deal.  I blame the parity in today's game.  With these spreads and utter unpredictability, you may as well flip a coin.  It's tough out there.

What's especially embarrassing for me is that my mom is kicking ass.  She won 13 games this past weekend to win her second week in a row.  I don't mind losing this football pool week after week after week, but when you're losing to your own mother, it's time to give back the testosterone.
