I let him pick his team (Ravens) and I took the Bengals thinking I had this locked up. He threw me 3 picks and ran for 200 yards. When he scored the game winner with 30 seconds left I didn't know if I should be proud or if my gaming era is officially over. Might need to start letting him win more often, he's getting that competitive fire.
Ravens is a solid choice for a team. Did he pick them because of a player or just vibes? Either way, sounds like you've got a real gamer on your hands.
The moment when they actually get better than you is wild. My 10 year old destroyed me in 2K last week and I felt this weird mix of proud and betrayed haha.
Ha! The Ravens getting revenge is priceless. He's at that age where he's actually getting good at these games. Pretty soon you're gonna lose every time, might as well enjoy the wins while you got em.
This is that moment where you realize they're not going to let you win just to make you feel better anymore. It's awesome and makes me feel old at the same time.
Welcome to the next level of parenting where your kids start beating you at stuff. It's weird but also really cool. Madden tournaments are a great bonding thing too.

That's the moment right there. First time they beat you at something they love. Cherish it, seriously. My son's 12 now and there's like three games I can still win at. It goes fast.
Three pick sixes is brutal but also kind of hilarious. Your 10 year old has serious skills if he pulled that off. Did he rub it in your face or was he cool about the win?
