DD- I know you did not cheat, I also dont understand the spread very well and I have to spend alot of time calculating my picks. And thanks to Bama Boy for going over the spread again, it helped.
Looks like we tied again.
Hey Genius -
Go review DD's post on 10/23 @ 4:28pm.
She clearly admits to losing the following games:
(1) West Virginia
(2) Georgia Tech
(3) Penn State
(4) Tennesee
(5) Wisconsin
And DD CLAIMED to win the Boise game - which she didn't. She picked Boise (-29.5) to win. Boise only won by 11 pts.
Which means DD had 6 losses and 6 wins. NOT 5 losses and 7 wins.
Are you having a difficult time reading my analysis? I would use bolded 24 point font but I don't think it would fit on the page.
My explanation was better.
If your team is +10 it has 10 points before the game even starts. The score is 10-0 prior to the kickoff and your team is winning.
If your team is -10 it has a 10 point DEFICIT before the game even starts. The score is 10-0 prior to the kickoff and your team is losing.
At the end of the game after adding up all the spread points you find it's a TIE you STILL win. The opposing team must win by 11 points.
A math major is not required to follow this concept.
I've never been able to think like a woman. I tried once and it got me in trouble. So I just rely on thinking the way God designed me to think.
In defense of Tinkerbell - I still contend that she has sole possession of the #1 position for Week 8 (see my latest substantiation noted above).
I always believed in recognizing people for their outstanding performance.
I never believed in giving people credit for something they did not deserve.
I guess it was just a personality quirk that I was born with.
I like you, Marine. I really do.
But I will not assume what BB is or isn't. But BB certainly has some traits of the modern American male. And that is not all good or bad. It simply "is". We are all who we are and it's not all by choice. Our culture and upbringing has a massive effect on our personas. Me? I've always been sort of a smart ass and the results haven't always been pleasant. I was raised in a dysfunctional family and I guess that was my way of fighting back. You can change a few of the spots on a leopard by painting over them or surgically removing them. But some are there for life like it or not. That's part of the human condition.
With that said, BB is a fantastic board moderator and is a real champ when it comes to posting our weekly picks. And for that he deserves a round of applause!

You seem normal to me hoss. I would have never guessed the problems you went thru.
BB does do a great job and has probably brought in more traffic to this sports thread than anybody else.

Thanks. I really didn't see the point spread on the Boise game -- I wasn't paying attention -- my bad.
I'm just so hurt that someone would actually think I would cheat on purpose.

just kidding......
As long as you concede that Tinker the sole champion for Week 8 it's all good.
No more excuses in Week 9 about not understanding how to calculate spreads either.
We have now crossed that road.

OK, I will take the win this week!! I guess my analysis paid off. Now lets move on to this weekend.
Not when it comes to money tho.
With money they have minds like cash registers.
I can only attribute their winning sports picks to women's intuition.
But regardless - Tinker came out on top and deserves full recognition. And I personally make no excuses for my 4-8 fuckup. I take personal accountablity - for each and every pick.
There's a price to pay for knowing how to add and subtract.
Ok, Ok, she wins dammit. Tomorrow is a new pick though.

OK, but I'm not playing this week. I'll be damned if I'm gonna be called a cheater.
Congrats Tinker.....
Child. No one called you a "cheater". Go back and read the post. The lady doth protest too much. You're just angry because you were rightfully lowered into a tie for 2nd place. If you are going to play the picks you should understand the concept of spreads by Week 8 in the season. If not, play at your own peril. Focus your anger inwards.
Well, as long as it wasn't done "intentionally" that certainly goes in your favor.
And we appreciate your candor nonetheless.

Bullshit. the following post appeared 10-23 @ 4:28pm:
If that post didn't infer I was a cheater, I'll kiss your ass on Main Street.
And I don't have any "problem" letting someone else have all the glory either. You have completely made my stay here miserable. Now I just post to see how many times you're going to respond. I can't wait for the answer to this one. (Gee, now I know how Vag feels when posers like you pick on every little cotton-pickin' thing.)
That post did not call you a "cheater". Read it again. You are making things up. In fact, in a previous post you "inferred" that you cheated - just not intentionally. Read that one again while you're at it. If you want to be a baby and run off - that's your choice. We're not going to beg you to come back. Face it. We were in Week 8 and you still claimed not to understand spread calculations. You must think we just fell off the turnip truck. Grow up emotionally and laugh at yourself once in awhile. If you're old enough to hold down a pharma job you're old enough to be held accountable on the boards. If my scores are fudged I EXPECT to get called out and criticized. And I will PROFUSELY apologize for my errors. And I will normally do it in a humorous manner. And I PROMISE I will not act like a child and run away from the boards if someone fingers me.
Btw, Vag attacked me first. Go back and read his post. I merely retaliated. So get your damn story straight.
You're right about Vag but wrong about DD. She made a mistake. We're here for fun anyway. It's not like money is being bet.
