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.Joey Bosa Jersey . With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position. Derwin James Chargers Jersey . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. http://www.prochargersteamstore.com/Youth-Antonio-Gates-Elite-Jersey/ . Louis Blues.

Philip Rivers Youth Jersey . Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.West Ham United and Stoke City shared the points Saturday with a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium.Bojan Krkic netted the equaliser in the 75th minute for Stoke (3-4-4), who have now gone unbeaten in six straight Premier League matches since losing four in a row.The ex-Barcelona, Ajax and Roma man was on hand to hook the ball into an open goal after yet another error from West Ham keeper Adrian.The Hammers (3-2-6) took the lead 10 minutes before Krkics tally when Michail Antonio headed in via a deflection off Stokes Glenn Whelan. It was a tight game and a draw was arguably a fair result as both siddes failed to make significant strides up the table.ddddddddddddStoke started off the better side and Joe Allen went close early on, but the Welshman could only fire over the bar before Wilfried Bony just failed to connect with a cross that wouldve put his side in front. West Ham hit back and Angelo Ogbonna forced Lee Grant into a stunning save while Dimitri Payet sent a free kick onto the roof of the net.West Ham are 2-2-1 since losing four straight league matches.
