First and foremost a big thank you to everyone who graciously and generously zapped my little one's fun fact. We have now won two weeks in a row with each kiddo winning once so I think we should quit while we are ahead. Just kidding, the kids will be digging for facts all week again but maybe I will lay off the shameless promotion.

Taking a look through the weekly pick em selections it looks like we may have another week that gets decided by tiebreaker. I will be on SN again during the monday night football games (7:45pm est or so) if anyone is around. I promise I won't comment on every play this time.

Inspired by a conversation I had with my son on the drive to his taekwondo class last night:

Shill me the number you used to wear when you played sports (probably had more than one but the one you always wanted to have- mine was 12 because of Roberto Alomar) or shill me an awesome nickname (not related to a real name) you had or one of your teammates had.

Sats for all.

Cheers, GR

15 because it was the position I played. In Rugby your number denotes your position 15 is fullback.

When I played paintball, I was #89 it was the last 2 digits of my Army Identification Number.

Boring stories but there ya go 😉. I also can't think of a single nickname in any of the teams I've played for.

Interesting. I didn't know that was how numbering worked in Rugby.

12 for the 12th man on a 12 man team. On the bright side you learned the subtle art of rejection all those times you tried to chat with girls in the stands while you were riding the pine. Small victories.

Ahhh a Seahawks fan I see 😜 "We Are 12" mighta been the worst slogan any organisation could have run with.

I cannot zap this even if it was written in jest. 49ers will be dismantling the seahawks this season as they did 3 times last season (got to give them a bonus beat down in the playoffs). The cowboys are my most hated nfl team but when the seahawks are good and competing for the nfc west, they are pretty close.

Haha yeah I said it in jest knowing you're a 9ers fan. But also... we are 12 was the worst slogan ever.

Blasphemy. The rejection part may be factually correct, I don't recall, but the rest is bullshit. I was sitting on the bench trying to chat up those girls in the stands because I got removed from the game for walking 5 guys in a row, not for sucking broadly.

Number 3. I was always number 3 in alphabetical order in school, and I wanted it in sports too

Good number.

Pigpen. A grimy looking defenseman on our hockey team who smelled bad and beat everyone up.

Haha awesome. Perfect nickname.

Mine in soccer was 13… not after anyone in particular, it was quite unwanted by most. Never was unlucky for me!
