    I confess, it's only a rumor tonight, but..
    Yes, nothing confirmed this early, but, this came from a solid source.
    ESPN is interested in hiring me to be one of their sports analyzers, and also, the more likely job offer; lead sports prognosticator.

    They had 27, so-called, ESPN EXPERTS, picking the Final Four teams, and NONE, had three correct.
    So I assume, word did get out that I, Ol' Abe, damn near had four out of his elite 8's
    come home.

    Did SBR provide them the information? I haven't heard anything from them? Maybe they think 3 of 4 is nothing special?
    Well, ESPN just may prove them wrong, if they, indeed, believe this feat was so miniscule?

    JJ may have some inside information from either source?

    Who was (mostly) right?
    None of ESPN's 27 experts got more than two Final Four picks correct -- 25 chose the Baylor Bears and Gonzaga.

    Only one of our experts missed all four Final Four selections.
    That came right off ESPEN's web.

                Everyday this guy falls off his rocker, but everyday he gets back up & continues the charade. It’s like he’s living in another universe all by him self as the invisible man & he can do or say anything that comes to mind.

                      This is super true. Those guys on the “daily wager” or whatever the hell that show is called absolutely stink.

                            But my good man, are you going to have the possibility to collect several thousand dollars off of even one of your 3 out of 4 Pics, or, any individually, you have in the final four? A bit of a little different their son.
                            Are you going to collect even a nickel from your three out of four? I do believe you so I will donate Five Points to you once you prove with a photocopy of your three out of four. A man is with that kind of talent needs to be rewarded.

                            And you know I'm world famous for catching sucker fish with very little bait on the hook. So if I were you I would not get too close to any of my hooks cuz I got several hooks laying out there, as usual, for SBR guys who think they are so slick, they want to bite that hook right quick.
                            Lol
                            Yes if I were one of you fellows, who get caught routinely, bitching, crying, and moaning, such as the groupies, who can't pick their nose, I would send this to the saloon, too. Because it has to hurt your eyes to see people pick winners. LOL

                              I don’t need to prove anything. I had Gonzaga, Baylor, and Houston. 3 out of 4 was very easy to predict.

                              You must have went to school with JJ because you don’t even know how to use there and their properly.

                              Maybe you should go back to 2nd grade and get an education.

                                Oops. I didn't mean to unload my so loudly and aggressively.
                                So, I will calmly get back to normal, fellows.
                                So what do you say that will make this thread more interesting?

                                * See, the vague, or missing point I didn't make: It took a lot of bucks and a lot of grief to get my teams to this Final Four table.

                                  Okay, just asking, but how far back did you choose these 3 teams and which team is the one you missed with?

                                      Which picks? Final Four teams? I missed with UCLA, only, but who didn't?
                                      When you lose your last 4 regular season games, then luck out and win 2 OT's in the playoffs, you cannot be taken seriously enough to be thought of, making the F.F..
                                      Crazy stuff.

                                          Hmm, but you know, I still have the full weekend to hear from ESPN, so be careful and not get too cute too soon.
                                          You do sound like one of my potential suckerfish, by the way.
                                          I usually catch a bunch of them, each month that goes by.
                                          But, I will admit, March was not a good fishing month.

                                          Are they getting smarter?

                                            i have Zags, Bay, Texas, Hou. 3 out of 4 and two of them #1 seeds and a #2 seed. ho hum.

                                            nothing to see here.

                                            FYI sports analysts don't get paid for their picks, they get paid because THEY PLAYED the game in college and maybe even the pros, and people want to see/hear them NOT YOU.

                                            i have won thousands of dollars the last 30 years in ncaa pools whereby most people NEVER win a pool in their lives.

                                            does that make me worthy of being on TV or the Radio???


                                            well, actually now that i think about it..................

                                              FYI sports analysts don't get paid for their picks, they get paid because THEY PLAYED the game in college and maybe even the pros, and people want to see/hear them NOT YOU.

                                              i have won thousands of dollars the last 30 years in ncaa pools whereby most people NEVER win a pool in their lives.

                                              does that make me worthy of being on TV or the Radio???


                                              well, actually now that i think about it..................
                                              Man you sound too much like me? Though, did you lay some major bucks down on your potential Fours, way back there? Abey did.
                                              If you didn't, shame on you?

                                                Before I complete my bracket each march I study:

                                                - kenpom ranking
                                                - rpi ranking
                                                - conf rpi
                                                - defensive ppg
                                                - defensive rpg
                                                - coaches
                                                - veterans on team (jr/sr totals)
                                                - impact frosh (very few impact sophs)

                                                I make sure not to get cute when picking a champ. Pick the best team or you probably don't win the pool.

                                                  A younger, fresher brain, huh? Whatever works to a win is great.
                                                  Now, let's see what your picks do the next 3 games, and make a report here?

                                                    the value is gone now as there was plenty to be found the prior 64 games (4 play in games + 60 since) but i lean UCLA +14.5 or nothing at all tomorrow............

                                                        That was also a rumor, and so was Illinois basketball.
