In what I would say was Gameday's worst week of the season, I figured I owe it to our investors to admit where we went wrong. We started the week off strong. We were hitting MLB Playoff games, Thursday and Friday night football and looking great going into the weekend games.
That is where the week turned to crap. We couldnt catch a break. 2 QB's go out with injuries in the first half of Saturday's games and needless to say we got crushed.
The highlight of the weekend was the 1 PM games in the NFL where we went 2-0 but even that was short lived. The Saints lost outright and the Chargers lost a lead late in the fourth to stick it to us. So one would say Sunday night must have got better. Nope. Alex Smith sticks it to us with 2 key interceptions and Frnak Gore puts the ball on the ground not once, but twice. Another loss.
So, that brings us to MNF. Everything is looking great with the Vikings +4.5. Three minutes left to play and Mr. Show me your package Favre decides to add to his interception total with a pick 6. Then with an opportunity to cover with a minute to go, he send another ill advised text, I mean pass to the opposite team to seal our fate.
This was easily the week from hell. Started off strong and couldnt finish. Lots of excuses and "what ifs" but a win is a win and a loss is a lesson.
The lesson we try to explain to our investors is that gambling on sports is a marathon not a sprint. We will make money in the long term just like the stock market but with a higher yield. Just like they say you cant play the market and watch on a daily basis, same goes for the commodity of sports. Overall Gameday wins. This weekend was an embarrassment but a lesson learned about why we preach what we preach.
