Mr Bator, my question is...if you are actually making a "pick" ( an official one that is) why hide it in a thread that is dated 11/23? Doesn't this put you in a no-lose situation. If Miami covers, you guys will say that you picked it...if they don't cover then you will just say it wasn't really an official pick. I am not being a hater. I mean it just makes sense to make your own thread with a pick for the corresponding date of the game.
Shut up

Uh, no. First of all, I don't declare picks to be "official." A pick is a pick. And I'm not in the business of bragging about winning plays or trying to diminish my losing plays. But I agree that my plays are sometimes hard to find, but that's because I'm reluctant to start a thread. If I do, I know people will follow with many questions, and I'm going to want to answer them. The thing is, I often don't have the time to do that, and I hate to leave people hanging.
Good point. People including myself are very interested in your abilities because we think it can be learned and overnight turn into historic cappers. Fact is, it's not going to happen so anytime we can pick your brain on things, it's nice to learn about other angles.
People need to understand that half of these people that come into threads and start talking shit are people that know they're going to get a rise out of others and it's fun to them. 300 reply threads with "fuck the haters" etc. are not the way to handle things. Just ignore them and don't respond to their threads/posts. Honestly, what's the point in arguing with someone who is not really a member here and simply logs in to push people's buttons?
Bator, your problem could be solved by taking 10 minutes to do a short write up on your pick along with ignoring stupid comments. Everyone else wins because they get to read your short write up and they also ignore the fuck sticks. The fuck sticks win because they can type what they want and they'll get ignored.
I'm the problem solver, all must listen
Under 14.5 for the half

I feel as if, for one fleeting night, I transformed the New York Knicks into a quality basketball team. Tomorrow they'll be back to tripping over the lines in practice.

I don't care if all my other plays come in tonight, this night is already ruined.
I need most of the late home dogs in the NBA (not the crappy Clips, though).

You two are class acts. Many newcomers should learn from the two of you in style of communication and perhaps we have a nicer forum. Great work on the Eagles.. GL on the rest of your puppies pick.
