I'm not an expert, but Saint Peter looks like a good play. That's way better advice than you'll get from so-called experts here and at other sites, who've offered some staggeringly bad takes and dumb plays. And I don't mean forum posters.

  Somalia is not an island. It's a  hole, but it's not an island.

Same with me. Like I need a reminder of what an awful loss that was by Minnesota after having a big lead at home in a revenge game against a team playing less than 23 hours after their previous game ended over a thousand miles away.

 Can't you just count? Go to the leaderboard, count how many per page, find the last page with active contestants, and multiply.

Nearly 7,000 posts and a quick look shows them to be all parroting Democrat propaganda. thirdperson is a paid shill or a lifeless loser. If there was a mute function he'd be muted by everyone who is sane. I won't be replying to any more posts by somebody like that. Adios!

Don't take anything he posts seriously. Don't think any of his "facts" are true or dispositive. He's a parrot of standard Democrat talking points. He pushes the same narratives that CNN, MSNBC, ABC "News", CBS "News", NBC "News", The New York Times, NPR, Boston Globe, Washington Post, LA Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, virtually every actor/actress/entertainer push. And as Hillary Clinton has said, they think there should be "consequences" for not parroting what they tell you to parrot. I voted for Kerry and Obama. The Democratic Party has become a malignancy. Goodbye and good luck - you're gonna need it!

@thirdperson

 "Polls show most Americans favor strong gun control". Polls also show most Americans favor requiring Photo ID to vote. Polls also show most Americans favor mass deportation of illegal immigrants. 

@thirdperson

 In 2012 20% of convicted drug traffickers were illegal immigrants. At the time illegal immigrants were claimed by Democrats to number 10 million, which was about 3% of the US population.

@thirdperson

 Another Democrat who thinks you either parrot Democrat ideology or you must get all your information from FoxNews. Tv is for imbeciles. I don't watch FoxNews, sunshine.

The claim that "Since 2017, there has been 162 total homicides committed by immigrants in the US" is laughably absurd. Not just ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, which I am talking about and which Democrats ALWAYS switch to "immigrants" because they can never have an honest discussion. ALL IMMIGRANTS!!!!! Immigrants, legal and illegal, make up about 30% of the US population, yet you are dumb enough to think they commit less than 1% of the homicides????? I'm not going to do research to get latest info to try to convince someone as brain dead as you. This is from something I bookmarked years ago from Politifact, hardly a bastion of those oh-so-bad right-wingers:

"According to the fiscal year 2018 ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations report, the criminal records of people arrested by ICE for being illegally in the country included 2,028 homicide offenses (387 charges and 1,641 convictions). According to the fiscal year 2017 report, the criminal record of people arrested included 1,886 homicide offenses."

And the reason  "Illegal migrants are less likely to be incarcerated than people born in the US." is that A. They are harder to catch, because they are here illegally with unknown identities; B. They can easily leave the country to avoid capture; and C. they are often deported instead of incarcerated. So, umm, DUH. You should try reading outside the Democrat media bubble. A survey showed 46% of self-identified "liberals" think thousands of unarmed black men are killed by police each year. The actual number? About 15. The Democrat media bubble leaves people that staggeringly misinformed. Get out!

@wallstreetcappers

 "He has a right to say...". Where did I say he doesn't have a right to say whatever? I have a right to call him out. And you CLEARLY lack basic Reading Comprehension. I didn't "leave the topic and jump to immigration topics". I illustrated the fact that the assault weapons fixation by Democrats is the "disinformation" that they claim to be against, and that the reality is that assault weapons are used to kill exponentially fewer people than illegal immigrants kill. Yet Democrats and their Media Complex focus endlessly on assault weapons and ignore illegal immigrants. Tell me, genius, which should get more attention? The assault weapons that are used to kill around 100 people per year, or the illegal immigrants that kill several thousand and commit hundreds of thousands of other horrific crimes? Why are YOIU and "your side" so fixated on a type of gun that may kill 100 per year, but not on illegal immigrants that kill several thousand, rape tens of thousands, commit hundreds of thousands of other crimes? Why can't YOU and "your side" ever talk about illegal immigration without conflating it with legal immigration? Why can't YOU and "your side" engage in anything resembling good faith argument, instead choosing to denigrate with parroted phrases like "blame for all your woes"? Believe me, YOU and "your side" deserve every bit of the utter contempt I have for you.

@MrWhatsItToYa

 That was a completely irrational rant. You say that the Second Amendment only applies to people in a "well-regulated militia", then state that 'the Second Amendment can be changed just as others have been changed'. But according to you the Second Amendment only applies to people in a militia, so what's there to change?

If you either understood complex English sentences, or read someone besides a Democrat activist explaining the Second Amendment, you would know that what the Second Amendment means is 'Since a well-regulated militia is essential, every citizen has the right to keep and bear arms'. It does NOT say that only militia members have that right. It says that EVERY CITIZEN HAS THAT RIGHT, and the reason EVERY CITIZEN HAS THAT RIGHT is that a militia is important and the only way you can have a militia is if you have an armed citizenry, some of whom may join a militia. The ways to amend the Constitution are clearly spelled out. If Democrats want to change the Second Amendment they have to embark upon that process. They haven't. EVER. 

Also, it's quite noteworthy that Democrat media fixate on assault weapons, which are used to kill fewer than 100 people each year, while ignoring the 1,000 to 2,000 killed by illegal immigrants each year, and the hundreds of thousands (million+? I haven't checked data on that) raped or assaulted or robbed by illegal immigrants. Furthermore, there's no reason to think that, absent an assault weapon, a mass shooter would instead take a nap. The mass shooter would just use a different gun. Some of the most deadly mass shootings have been carried out with a handgun, including Virginia Tech.

 Your ensconcement in the Democrat media bubble has you thinking you are far more intelligent than you actually are. You should look up the Dunning Kruger Effect instead of being obnoxious here and probably elsewhere to anyone who doesn't parrot the trite lines you parrot.

The Dal/Min game is still "pending" for me as well, so I can't make today's pick.

@Calde13

 Once you've gone 12-0, your odds of getting to 17-0 are not 1/131,072. They are the odds of going 5-0, which is 1/32. Saying you've still got a long way to go at 12-0, then citing the odds of going 17-0 and 21-0 to prove it, is just wrong. By your logic a sportsbook should offer only $100 to cash out a $100 wager on a 4-team parlay in which 3 teams have already won, because the odds of hitting a 4-team parlay are 1/16. Once 3 teams have already won, the odds of hitting that parlay are 1/2, not the original 1/16.

I did a little research when the line was Iona-9. Iona had played a tougher schedule, yet still had shot better in all categories and defended better in all categories. Plus Iona's game was before Buffalo's yesterday, so Iona would have had the chance to watch the Buffalo game and get a feel for their opponent. Most importantly, I read that Iona has a new coach and emphasizes full-court pressure creating turnovers. A quick look at the data showed that Buffalo turned the ball over a lot. Seems like a really good bet. Then I did the last thing I do - checked the sites with picks. They all said things like 'computer model has Iona winning by 4, so Buffalo + 9 is the pick'. Some cited last years stats for each team, which is usually not very relevant and is HUGELY IRRELEVANT when talking about Iona. Rick Pitino was the coach last year. He left and took most of the best players with him. These game-picking sites and writers mostly seem clueless dolts churning out content. But by the time I did all that the line had dropped to 6! So I then looked to see if there were injuries driving the line change. Nope. Six minutes before tipoff the Iona twitter account posted the starting lineup - same as previous games. But the big line drop made me hesitant - did I miss something? Or do lots of people bet on these trite, superficial analyses? So I took Iona on the ML at -298 instead of the spread. At halftime I see Iona is up over 20 and Buffalo has 13 turnovers. 13 turnovers in just the first half! I'd love to see data on line changes. My expectation is that most often following line changes results in a loss, or there wouldn't be any money in being a casino/sportsbook/bookie.

@dcbets4lf

 If they lose without him their next game is a good bounce back spot. Just a general idea, haven't looked at actual matchup.

@worm23

 Yeah, like the conspiracy theory that is Critical Race Theory, which says that everything white people do they do to maintain white supremacy, and that every failure of black people whether it be in general or in a specific instance is the result of all-powerful, pervasive racism. Or the conspiracy theory that says there can be no deeply-held belief that life begins at conception and abortion is murder. Any opposition to abortion, even in the third tri-mester, is men conspiring to control women's bodies (this from Democrats who can't even define "woman"!). Or the conspiracy theory that wanting to keep sexually-explicit books out of children's libraries is "book-banning" (this from Democrats who try to ban 'Irreversible Damage', 'The Diversity Delusion', anything by Jordan Peterson, and anything that doesn't parrot progressive pieties). Or the conspiracy theory that Hillary, the oh-so-wise and wonderful, lost because Trump CONSPIRED with Russia. You and your type haven't come close to earning the smug arrogance you exude like farts from an un-showered vegan.

As for Washington, my post-facto explanation is that following Sunday's game they A. felt good about themselves for going toe-to-toe with an elite division rival and B. Spent a lot of mental energy on a short week ruminating over 'what if' and how close they were to a signature win. Meanwhile, Chicago was furiously focused on NOT having a winless season and so 'turned the page' and put all their mental energy on getting ready for Thursday. Still a shocking blowout, and my Streak Survivor pick was Washington. As was my pick in CBS Knockout pool. But I'm #150 out of around 22,000 in their full season contest, so there's that.

You're welcome.

@digs

 I think that has to do with your browser, not covers. I also think that if you don't want that to occur you can use chrome in incognito mode and search terms don't get saved. I don't have definitive knowledge and haven't done any research, but that's how I think it works.

I used to say to friends "google is your friend", meaning just google info, but google is now a malevolent entity that alters search results to ensure Democrat narratives are pushed and anything that doesn't conform to progressive ideologies is downgraded. So google is NOT your friend. I use duckduckgo for search.

@GypsyCowboy

 NOPE. You're the retarded one. You can't even follow a coherent argument, much less make one. NOTHING I said was an endorsement of the SD pick, which I thought was idiotic. AND I said Hawky was retarded b/c he was recommending waiting prior to thinline even getting to 21, based on the brilliant logic of 'You're doing great in baseball, so you should STOP DOING BASEBALL and wait for football". If you can't see how retarded that is it's because you, too, are retarded. Also, the monthly wasn't locked up by K, which is why K posted he was hoping it rained in SD. DUH.

Furthermore, what makes you think the thinline SD pick was based on a desire for a measly extra grand on the monthly, as opposed to one step closer to the $100K? Why am I using "think" in reference to someone who obviously can't think? Ever heard of the Dunning- Kruger Effect? THAT'S YOU. Ever heard of grammar and capitalization?  You can't fix retarded. Adios!
