Mr. Random's cackling and gloating can be heard from the Mandalay Bay to the Golden Nugget, prompting Mission to write the following;

"SteelDCo,

You can post this! I am sick of sucking so badly! My NBA Picks system sucks! I'm just glad that I actually can't stand watching basketball, (Except Olympics/NCAA Tournament) so I have not and would not bet real money on it!

I'm trying something else, maybe Mr. Random wants to play along and maybe not...if this goes well, I may continue to do it!

GS/PHI UNDER 196.5
CHI/BR OVER 177.5
TOR/MIL UNDER 201
MINN/PORT UNDER 197.5

That's right, O/U's!!! The way I see it, it would be very difficult for me to do worse than I have been doing, so if I do better, then I can pat myself on the back for being, "Smart enough," to switch to O/U's!"

Random blew by Mission easily. Seems like Mission might be having troubles in his personal life too. I can find no other reason for his harsh treatment of EvenBob. Hope it is that and not just a Barney Fife syndrome that occasionally strikes even the best of Administrators. Which Mission 146 has been up to this point in time.

Thanks. I have now decided that I am not doing as well as I would like because your "Day Net" graph line is in red. Bad Karma! ........So it's your fault.

I haven't heard from Mission lately. Hopefully he hasn't caught that depression that Mr. Random was feeling earlier on.........maybe I should send Mrs. Random over?

Mission is currently negotiating peace talks in the Middle East. It is less challenging than dealing with me and EvenBob.

Wow.......dunno what to make of this one. Mission makes 9 picks and Mr. Random agrees with every one of them....although Mr. Random has recently picked up the pace so maybe Mission's in good shape?

Good Luck Mission. It's bound to turn around.

Steeldco,

Just a quick question about random,

when there is no w/l after a pick is that an automatic loss or should it count as a no pick for that game?

Thanks
Slack

Hey Slack,
I looked to see what you might be referring to and I see where Mission's pick of last night didn't have a w/l after the pick. However, that was just a screw-up on my part when I went to copy/paste. I neglected to copy the column with Random's pick. Every pick made by either myself or Mission has a corresponding thumbs or thumbs down by Mr. Random.

I have just received a PM from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. He/she stated that Mr. Random and Mission are one and the same. Steeldco, do you care to deny or affirm that statement ?

Steel,

What happened to Mission? Did he officially give up trying to pick?

Slack,
I don't know. I haven't heard. It did seem that he was getting frustrated, understandably, as would anyone who likes to succeed.

Well.....I guess that I need to stop cringing when I see a bunch of favorites picked....it seems to some how work out.
Also, it looks like Mission has pushed slightly ahead of Mr. Random.......and Mr. Random is pissed........
