Final week was the classic 6 stages of a SFTC winner: anxious, laughter, weeping, joy, unbelief, and acceptance. Also being flush with cash. I guess its 7 stages.You pushed the pace once you hit W20, did you feel the pressure of trying to catch the leaders or why make so many picks? You cant be concerned with what everyone else is doing. Thats a rookie move. SM was throwing up good picks, I was just taking advantage. Fun fact of the day: I never watched a single game or match live that I picked. Hopefully this cements my legacy as a first ballot SFTC Hall of Famer.We have to talk about the Radwanska match that you got a push on. What were your thoughts when it first pushed and then the next day, realizing she had actually lost that match? Push. Of. The. Year. But lets be honest, theres no way Radwanska would ever have lost that if they didnt start and stop playing 200 times. Clearly she stayed up too late watching Save The Last Dance and didnt get enough sleep for the continuation of the match the next day.Was your goal to win the Stash or did you go in focusing on trying to secure the $25,000 first?I dont understand the question. Did I try to win the most amount of money I could? Yes. I just played until I lost. My ultimate goal in SFTC is to cultivate my registered ESPN member brand, by interacting with, and informing the streakers on the message board (shout out to my degenerate friends). Winning is just icing on the cake. A very rich cake. Haha, do you get it.Was there any particular match during your streak that made you more nervous than any other?Every W is my baby and I was a little nervous for every one. However, the most memorable moment for me was the one I didnt pick. Middle of the month, I selected Stenson with like a W20, and he had to shoot 29 or under or something, I dont even remember the prop. All signs pointed this to be an easy green. Maybe even easiest since Obama. Something seemed off though- I was rushing it and didnt need the W at this point. So with roughly 45 seconds before it locked, I unpicked it. Moments later, the Chipotle that Stenson had earlier caught up to him, and he carded some obscene number like 33 or something. Fist pump.What was your strategy in making picks? Did anyone else help you make them?My strategy was simple- title chase = title defense. I was going to keep picking the same way I had always picked whether it was W1 or W9000, and I wasnt going to slow down if I was in the lead. I wanted to demoralize the competition. I wanted the month to be over weeks in advance. It also helped that a crap ton of leaderboard crashes happened on picks I didnt take. Fine, thats like 90% of the reason I won.What initially got you into playing Streak for the Cash?I was googling get rich quick ideas that require only an Associates degree in 2013 and I wasnt getting any results. Down on my luck, I began to peruse ESPN, and I noticed a gentlemen who could benchpress 600 pounds while only weighing 170 pounds. Trainers seemed to hate him. I went to click on the link, but because of my excitement, I missed and accidentally hit a SFTC ad. The rest is history.What do you plan on using the money towards?First of all, wow, Im humbled to be the next Streak Master. Thats how it works right? Im super excited to rule over all the degenerate streakers with unlimited power, as is tradition. My mod usage will see no end and it will be ruthless. To your question, I plan on doing a couple things: First, I plan on winning the Sta$h another 29 times so that I can book a private concert with Taylor Swift (she has a customary $1 million booking fee). Second, Im going to buy LiveFyre. Third, Im going to travel to Japan so that I can buy a Zima, because it was discontinued in the United States before I turned 21 and Japan is the only country that still sells it and Ive always wanted to try it.Miguel Layun Mexico Jersey . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. Rafael Marquez Mexico Jersey . Coach Mike Munchak says Fokou stretched ligaments in his left knee Oct. 13 against Seattle, which could keep out up to five weeks even though the linebacker didnt need surgery. http://www.nationalsoccermexico.com/jesus-manuel-corona-mexico-jersey/ . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me.

The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope. Hector Herrera Jersey .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche.If you are a genuine fan of Roger Federer, you should vigorously applaud his decision to bail on the rest of the 2016 tennis season.No, you wont see Federer in a few weeks time, feet falling along the baseline as softly as a cats, stalking the elusive singles gold medal in a farewell Olympic performance in Rio. Or later in August, flicking sweet forehands at the National Tennis Center in Flushing in the quest for his sixth US Open title.In his present, somewhat-less-than-his-best condition, you wouldnt have seen ultimate success anyway.But -- assuming a few months of rest and rehabilitation can bring his dodgy left knee back to a sound level -- the inconvenience of missing out on those late-summer visuals has a massive upside for the athlete who turns 35 in 13 days:It likely means a few more years of the less-than-vintage-but-still-stylish Federer we have come to know in recent years -- which isnt half-bad. In fact, its still better than good.Indeed, the mood at the Team8 offices in Pepper Pike, Ohio on Tuesday was upbeat.There is no gloom and doom in our camp, insisted Tony Godsick, Federers longtime agent. The decision was unfortunate, on the face, a bummer, but it was encouraging, too. It shows he still wants to get out there and give it a few more years.Since winning Wimbledon in 2012, the final major in his portfolio that includes a record 17-Grand Slam singles titles, Federer has been essentially rolling through an extended, elevated victory lap. He made the final at Wimbledon in 2014 and 2015 and a year ago at the US Open.Perhaps more telling, after reaching five ATP World Tour 1000 finals in 2014, winning two of them (Cincinnati and Shanghai), he made three master finals a year ago, winning only in Cincinnati.This year? Only 28 matches and zero major or masters finals.The season began typically enough. Federer got to the final in Brisbane and reached the semifinals at the Australian Open for the 12th time in 13 season. But in early February, he underwent surgery meniscus surgery, the first of his career. When he came back a few months later, he wasnt quite himself.Although a cranky back was blamed for his pullout in Madrid, the knee was always the major issue. He lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarters of Monte Carlo and to 22-year-old Dominic Thiem at the Italian Open before opting to skip the French Open, hiis first major miss since the 1999 US Open, ending a record of 65 consecutive Grand Slam appearances.ddddddddddddThe return to his favorite surface was not encouraging; Federer lost again to Thiem on the grass in the Stuttgart semifinals and, a week later, to teenager Alexander Zverev in the semis of Halle, an event the Swiss had won eight times. In retrospect, it approaches amazing that earlier this month Federer reached the semifinals at Wimbledon before losing to Milos Raonic -- in five sets.Actually, Godsick said, he did quite well being where he would not like to be.In the end, I think he realized the competition, as tough as it is, you dont help yourself by playing less than your best. Now he can manage his schedule and take the steps necessary to get bigger, faster and stronger.Godsick would not offer details, but said that by creating a window of four months without competitive tennis -- instead of the usual one -- Federer was giving himself more than enough cushion to come back completely healthy to start 2017.So if the doctor says he needs a certain number of weeks, now he can afford to give it even more time, Godsick said. Everyone on this team is an optimist, and hes the chief optimist.More than anything, Federer seems to love being Federer. Deep in his mind, he has to know another Grand Slam title is increasingly unlikely. Still, he enjoys being in the hunt, maybe more importantly, in the conversation. Clearly, its fun, and there are still millions of more dollars to make. With four children, thats not a minor consideration.The love I have for tennis, the competition, tournaments and of course you, the fans remains intact, Federer wrote in a Facebook post. I am as motivated as ever and plan to put all my energy towards coming back strong, healthy and in shape to play attacking tennis in 2017.Not just tennis, attacking tennis. Federer is currently ranked No. 3 in the world behind Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. Will the tennis world change appreciably when younger players like Raonic, Thiem, Zverev and Nick Kyrgios move past him? In a word, no.If the goal is to go and play as long as you can, Godsick said, its the right decision.Let the Federer flowing, fluid victory lap continue. ' ' '
