Don's Crystal Ball Week 3 Picks

The've shown they can score points against great teams one with a really good defense and they shown that even if they're losing they don't give up.

Was couldn't score a TD against the worst team in the NFL.

Yes I'm a fan but frist I'm a gambler and I bet Footbal every week every year I take this very siruously I post what I bet Sunday.

First week I won $170 Usd week 2 broke even... was goignto win $250 if Pit didn't lose that game in te final minutes. I've never going to be 16-0 a week (against the spread) because luck and weird things happen and bad picks I haven't seen one person going 16-0 against the spread I've have had 15-1 weeks but never 16-0

C'mon the Miami point was made that I wouldn't picked them again because they've lost twice when I picked them. The bad luck thing is meant to be funny you're nitpicking here.

And it's Ironic you're saying that I don't accept the reality that I made my mistakes but almost everyone here is delusional about their own team and how they're playing.

Now every week there are bad calls like Jacksonville over Arizona I did last week and bad luck ( It happens in the NFL, every sport and life Dummy) Like Cin losing to Denver on a desperation weird play in the last seconds. Get Real.

So if a Pick in Basketball Cleveland over Chicago and they are winning by 2 in the final seconds and a guy from Chicago throws the ball from his own court and nails the 3 pointer to win the game at the buzzer. You're saying I lost because I made the bad pick it wasn't bad luck... if you really believe that luck has nothing to do with sports than I'm unwise in the eyes of Plato, But you sir are just unwise

See that's the thing man, NOBODY is more delusional about their team and how they're playing than a Cowboy fan. NOBODY. And you still point your finger at us just like Lotus said. You answer his remarks by pointing at us. How is that owning up to your OWN mistakes? Ya'll talk shit and act like you're all that every year and you haven't even won a playoff game in what..13 years? First graders have graduated High School in that amount of time.

Is luck involved? Then why should anyone pay attention to your picks? You can't predict luck can you? The truth is everyone has an opinion and yours isn't any better than most of the posters on this board. Believe it or not pardner there are some very intelligent people here who know quite a bit about football. To be honest, your picks aren't anymore relevant than the paper I wipe my a** with.

53 Really read the post before that one and the next paragraph of the one you just read it says that I made bad calls we all do but that not all the ones you get wrong are bad calls some are just BAD LUCK.

It does not matter if there are lucky plays or bad calls. That's the nature of sports. If you picked wrong, you picked wrong. Own up to it.

The point is that you have an overblown idea of your own expertise. The fact is that you cannot seem to think clearly, you cannot write worth a damn, you do not work from accurate facts, and you really don't seem to understand the game of football very much.

Personally I would be embarrassed to purvey garbage the way that you do. But since you insist on putting your drivel out before us, instead of respecting us to have better taste, you can be sure that I will never read a thread of yours again. My time is too valuable to waste on your poorly written, poorly thought out rubbish.

Ok Lotus if it isn't for you it isn't for you... I won't waste my time on you either but ask your other members who pick in my league the past 3 years and how I've beat them every year. 2 1st places one third place. But hey I don't know what I'm doing just pickiing gmes from the hat.

I do the work I jsut post a quick remark I'm not goign to type every single thing I consider to do the pick because the column would be way to big for any board

D'BOYZ, let's look at Denver-Cincinnati as an extreme example of luck in a football game. We had a play that decided the game that will not happen even 3 times if the exact same route was thrown 1000 times against the same coverage. It decided the game.

Did the people who bet Denver straight up deserve the win? Not necessarily. Did people who bet Cincinnati deserve the win? Not necessarily. Cincinnati's entire argument about out-playing Denver boils down to completely befuddling Kyle Orton and having a lone nice drive at the end of the game. If not for that last drive, the Stokley play never happens. It's just Kyle Orton kneeling on a ball after playing awful.

I'm not a betting man, but I picked Cincinnati in that game as well. It's okay though, I can't really pick games either.

I totally agree with you on that one no team did anything to deserve to win that game... I put it as an expample of how luck has an affect on results sometimes I wasn't upset I got that call bad because it wasn't like Cin deserved to win.

Ok Lotus if it isn't for you it isn't for you... I won't waste my time on you either but ask your other members who pick in my league the past 3 years and how I've beat them every year. 2 1st places one third place. But hey I don't know what I'm doing just pickiing gmes from the hat.

Like I said, you have an overblown sense of your own expertise. You just demonstrated that.

I cannot decide which is bigger:
a) your utter inability to master the English language, or
b) your groundlessly and pathetically grandiose ego

I do feel sorry for you, though. You obviously have no idea how much others regard you as an idiot.

First Lotus English isn't my first language so everything you say about that I absolutely don't care because I know I speak better and write better than a a lot of people that actually is their first language.

Now if I stop everything I do because some yahoo's think I'm an Idiot when they don't do bring anything to the table or game and surely don't know crap about the game, I don't give a crap.

You haven't said anything, that has to do with the games, because you're the classic example good to critic other's work and Quote other's ideas but you can't do or create anything by your own.

So please move on or bring anything worth reading.

b) have at 'em.
