I put a lot of time and effort into last years picks and didn't do that well so I'm not changing anything this year. I didn't even put much time into the confidence picks. We will see how this method works. :lol:

I spent about 10 minutes and that was only because of the confidence picks and not wanting to duplicate any numbers.

Not me, I methodically and with careful scrutiny ran all kinds of expression and models that I might get it right...I sweated and toiled over each pick to get it just right. I was consumed with intent. What's the subject?

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
