Post Week 8

I hate to be cocky but I will anyway because I enjoy it. I went 9-4 this week. I might not be the best sports writer/blogger but I’m having some success picking winners so far. For those following along at home I’m 75-41 this season. That’s around 65 % and that has to be pretty good. The Sports Guy, Bill Simmons, is 71-44-1 so far this season. This guy is smart and I only bring him up because he obviously does this stuff for a living…and I have a better record. I honestly have been avoiding his blog, which is great, just to avoid being persuaded by his picks. And I haven’t been on his blog until today. I mean he picked the Broncos, Bills and Browns this week. All picks I went against. Heck, I don’t even know how the man tied a pick…

Now let me be clear: I’m not better than Bill Simmons, you shouldn’t use this as some sort of reference to bet and since I’m bragging my picks might be bad for the last half of the season.

I’m going to go to sleep. I feel good about my first half picks and the Rockets beat the Jazz tonight. All you fools who thought the Rockets were going to be some chump team can chew on that. G’night.
