I'm playing against friend of this blog 
We're both 2-2 and looking for the pivotal win.
Here's a link to the league page for anyone not in the league who wants to see what all the fuss is about: https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/1194197 馃槷馃槑
Point of order: I still owe the league prize pool for the rewards from several of the posts I've made, I've just been lazy in digging thru and sorting it out :p
It's small potatoes anyways. 
And the current prize pool can always be viewed by looking at the Savings portion of my wallet.
And, as announced before the season, the payouts will be:
The 'participation ribbons' 馃巰 portion is divided up among everyone commensurate to how many regular season wins you get. So even if you feel the season slipping away, every game means something and is worth winning.
I have to quibble a little with the great Tom Brady here:
I have to be even more of a nerd and an intellect than he is.
It happens at @3:27 "we have a 93% chance of winning when we don't turn the ball over, and that's pretty good"
First I should say that the answer in general (to what they asked him, about balls bouncing off of receivers' hands) is excellent and the mark of a winner.
But the 93% thing is a problematic way of looking at it. It's result-oriented. You win 93% of the time when you don't turn the ball over when you're not deliberately focused on not turning the ball over.
Taken to an extreme, it would be easy to never turn the ball over. You just kneel down every play. But it'd be an awful way to try to win. So that can't be your primary focus. The best ways to score points involve some risk of turnover. So the focus should be on equity and doing the best things every time rather than "no turnovers".
It's hard to argue with results and I'm sure Tom intuitively does what I'm saying. Obviously he doesn't play in a wildly risk-averse sort of way. And erring away from turnovers is probably hard to be too much of a mistake, and a good thing to grip your mindset onto. So no big deal. And he might be next-level just saying that as a cliche sort of thing. But I can't listen to something like that and not comment on it.
Great game this week, Tommy.
