Quote: avargovThe only thing we know for sure is that you are 2-3. The rest we have to take on faith.
Isn't it interesting how questions of truth always appear if the hated winner wins! Lose, and they all believe you; but WIN, and the only thing known for sure is the picks that were made. I call it the "MKL Syndrome". 100% pure envy, followed by 100% pure denial....
If you are up $7000, good for you, that is about a fifth of your salary as a night and weekend coverage guy, unless of course you are the 'other' Jerry Logan working for JBH in the Phoenix area...
Quote: avargovWrong. I personally don't care if you are winner or a loser. I can assure you that you may be the last person on earth that I would be envious of. I am merely stating that fact that you are 2-3 on your picks. The amounts of the wagers are conjecture, and as such, irrelevant.

"I call it the "MKL Syndrome". 100% pure envy, followed by 100% pure denial...."
Please elaborate on "a night & weekend coverage guy". Since I've made you feel small, maybe I can fire him!
Quote: thecesspitFunny how we are doubting the hated winner when he lost. We should be believing him....
No, what we're doubting is the amounts he said that he bet. We have proof of his picks--he stated them forthrightly enough--but we have no proof of his bets.
Quote: avargovNope Jerry, not at all, been posting picks on here for 14 weeks, win or lose...not sore at all.
100% pure denial - You won't admit this either, but you radiate it. And no one who expects to win picks all favorites, even MKL knows that. Why, how many intellectuals here didn't want to make you feel bad with that collection of losers, but held back?!

Any doubts would have been presented prior to the games. It's only after the winning does the whining become an issue. BTW, where was it when I picked my 1st loser in week 5?

You see MKL, even though you're afraid to match up with me now that I helped you make such a big fool out of yourself, you remain as easy to tie to the whipping post as a fairy in a windstorm.
Quote: JerryLoganas easy to tie to the whipping post as a fairy in a windstorm.
I have seen the majority of animated fairy movies produced in the past ten years and have read dozens of books on fairies (repeatedly and aloud). Based on my deep knowledge of fairy lore, I can confidently assert that a fairy in a windstorm would be inordinately difficult to tie to a whipping post.
And even though you feel my picks were bad, my favorite picks went 2-4, a little better than 0-2 I think.
And not only that, you are at 40%, I am at 42.2% for the season. So I guess that makes me a better football handicapper.
And, BTW Jerry, not everyone reacts the way you do to things. Perhaps your dear 'ole Dad could have taught you that as well in his infinite wisdom.

Cos you weren't being a jerk about it in week 5... now you are being a jerk. A know-it all, arrogant jerk.
Something you claim to hate...

I've got some warmed over gorgonzola cheese to go with all that whining.
Mathextremist: You don't know fairies like I do, and I didn't know them until I came here.
avargov: 100% PURE envy.
cesspit: I wasn't a "jerk" in week 5 because you saw I lost and could rest knowing "he lost". As soon as I won a big bet I'm a "jerk" and that's precisely when the jealousy began flowing.
You see, one need not have a glowing educational record in order to slap people upside the head and back into reality.

I see you are confused. No you were a jerk BEFORE your bets were resolved. It's clear as day. If you'd been a jerk AFTER the fact, I'd probably not give two lug nuts.
But Mr Big Shot Trucking VP (*) had to crow how great his bets were going to be, how avargov would have been better following you, how much you'd made on 3 bets this years, and how this betting game is easy and you'll be gracing us with a Lock each week.
And just like the Arizona Offence, it didn't turn up, it melted away... but Mr Logan carried on all the same. You put your balls out there, and they got sliced off. Deal with it.
It seems you might need a glowing educational record in order to pass Basic Reading Comprehension 101, and a decent highschool to learn Humility 102 and Basic Manners (offered at most Kindergartens, perhaps you should head over there, and listen to some real whines)
(*) whatever your real job title is, I don't remember, I don't care.
* I'm more successful (make more money, hold higher position) than Jerry
* I'm better at picking football games (3-0)
* I can take him in a fight, probably within 4-5 seconds after first contact
Don't let him get to you. Jack-wagons like Jerry are everywhere, and they always talk big to make up for actual deficiencies. I suspect that's what's going on here.

That means something to me. I'm about 6'5" and now 235. I know soccer is for wussies. And success is measured, at least in THIS country, by the size of one's dick. I win.

Didn't you spend lines and lines telling other people that success was the amount of money you make? Which is it? I think the "dick" comment was just more buffoonery. After I put you down, what will be the new measure of "success"?
Quote: avargovHey Mr. 6-5, big schlong guy, why don't you answer the phone. I am sure some trucker is calling in for you to dispatch him. Enjoy your 15 bucks an hour while you do it...oh yeah, and play with your customized model camaro, that should calm you down.
Genital displays are frequent among primates seeking social status. When recognition is not forthcoming, they often screech, rattle the bars of their cages, and throw feces at those they perceive as their rivals.
Dart-throwing chimpanzees have scored an average of 50% when making football picks, however.

And you get your wish of an Orange Bowl berth...how lucky can one man be....
Quote: avargovYou know I read that Dart-Throwing Chimp study in Phil Steele's College Football Guide. Was quite an interesting read MKL. I thought they found that a savvy handicapper could expect to go at least 55% following the chimp tho????
The first time they tried it, yes, the chimp scored well over 50%. He lost his touch later on, though, and wound up scoring not significantly better than 50% overall. He then swore (in Chimp) at the experimenters and called them all "girly men". Chimps can be so touchy when their football picks lose.
What a great country!
...just pull this end though there and it will be just perfect....
One last request Jerry, I know you red-blooded Americans love those (the same type of American I am), think of me fondly today as you are making that $15 an hour answering the phone and responding to Qualcomm mesages. It's noble work you do helping out truck drivers.

I think there's little doubt that Jerry is the biggest dick on the forum, but I'm not sure at all that Americans measure their success by how big a dick they are.
Quote: avargovAnd you get your wish of an Orange Bowl berth...how lucky can one man be....
Well, I would have preferred the Rose Bowl but Miami at New Years is going to be pretty fun. Two silver linings:
1. I have been a big TCU fan since childhood and got an offer to play for them (childhood dream) but I couldn't turn down Stanford. We have a long family history there (grandmother graduated with first class that included women, great-granddad helped bring the divinity school there from Waco, 4-5 other family members and countless friends graduated from there, love going to games, looking forward to Big East basketball teams visiting) and I do want to see them do well. Funny how the BCS caused my two greatest allegiances to conflict ...
2. Miami at New Years! Should be lots of fun, I asked this girl to go with me, a friend-with-benefits, so if that works out, there should be lots of good times!
You know what they say: "when life gives you oranges ..."

Okay, this is off topic, but I can't really even describe how hilarious it is that JerryLogan has to resort to claiming his dick is the biggest in all the land to win arguments and prove he's better than all us sissies here on the forum.
