I, too, just had my first really crappy week of the NFL season, so I wanted to take a moment to say how much I appreciate all that you share on Covers. Your posts are a great touchpoint for me after I do my analysis each week. What a great NFL season you’re having overall, and I can’t wait to see your write-ups for the World Cup in the coming days! You’re a real treasure to more folks than you probably realize, because I’m sure there must be other lurkers like me who don’t care to post much, but who can spot a source of rare quality when we see it. Keep doing exactly what you do, my man. —TBB

I really appreciate this. There are definitely days when my wife says to me "why do you post if it makes you so stressed", and my only answer is that it helps some people, and I have a character flaw where I like to help people when I have knowledge on something. I have never made a dime posting, and never will. But there is pressure knowing that some use what I post in a desperate way - and even one bad week affects their lives. I dont like that.
But I do it for those like yourself who maybe gain something out of me posting - and also because most of the time I enjoy it.
Thanks again.
