Choke Job

As most of you know I am in a football pool. 5 games each week, (4 plus a best bet). I was leading most of the season. Unfortunately the pool continues into the playoffs. I have blown my four point lead and now hold only a one point lead over second place. Here is what the league's commissioner had to say:

For most of the season Cannon920 has been the leader, at times seeming ready to pull away from the pack and leave the rest of us in the dirt. But as we all know, it is a rare bird indeed who can withstand the constant pressure that comes with being the leader. Could it be, now that it's crunchtime, that Cannon920 is starting to feel a little tickle in this throat? A little gag perhaps at the thought of The Professor and Little Bro right on his ass. Yes friends it is officially a horse race once again, and the question becomes can Cannon920 hold it together for another 2 weeks or will he end up choking on that huge hairball building up in his throat as we speak. Does he have the determination, mental toughness, and intestinal fortitude to close this out or will he end up just another body on the pile of choke artists.... you know, the ones who came oh so close, but fell just short in the end. We'll know very shortly.

I hope I don't pull a Peyton Manning. I finished fourth last year, and nothing less than first will do this season.
