    I Challenge Any SBR Handicappe (writer) to An MLB Capping Contest- Do You Dare?

    Sorry guys, I'm talking about any actual writer to a friendly capping contest. They can set it up. Nothing at stake except our reps. The only person that I leave out is LT because I have too much respect for him and I need motivation. (he's awesome and a good dude)

    I'm talking writers. Someone please set this up and we make it season long!

    I know all of you guys are devoted cappers and I'm not saying that I'm better (I respect you all!!!) This is something that I have to prove to myself. Any coveted writer want to give it a go? I won't trash talk. I want to make a point to the higher ups. Someone accept my challenge and we'll have some fun. I love pressure and let's do this!

    It can be a writer or editor. No LT and no Willie Bee. I respect their abilities. Any young "up and comers"...shut this middle age dude up (LOL) . My motivation" My rep and my autistic child. Let's go...I'm ready!

    1 or 2 unit plays will be fine (MLB is a marathon). Sorry that it's late but I will bump this thread if need be. I want it to be 1 on 1 and not 1 on 5 writers. We have to both agree on the rules and I'm good to go. I'm not dissing anyone. No reason to stop this thread. Writing team: Put up your best please. Thank you.

    The writing is on the wall. SHOW SOME COURAGE. SHOW FAITH IN WHO REPRESENTS YOU. At this point, I'm a poster. To me, if someone has taken my spot,that's fine. It's your call. I'm a person that backs up what they say and never lies to this forum. I issued a FRIENDLY challenge. Like Mills Lane says...."Let's get it on!" Show me that I'm not worthy. I'm saying nothing offensive whatsoever. PROVE ME WRONG. I already said there are a tons of great cappers on here and SBR Rules and has been good to me. I'm laying out a challenge to the best writer aside from vets Willie Bee and my man LT Profits. It would be fun and the posters could have a good laugh. To me, I would WELCOME the challenge because challenges bring out the best in me. If you have confidence in your writers, this should be easy and if they beat me, I would congratulate them publicly. It's like a boxing match. I WANT THIS MATCH DESPERATELY!

I still love SBR despite a poor choice because they took the word of someone with no love for kids. Make no mistake about it; it is personal, but it's a friendly challenge and I will conduct myself with class once it get's going. They don't know how much that they changed my life. Without your self respect, you have nothing. I never said that I was the best ever; not even close. You guys are all great. I'm streaky. I can win 15 in a row and lose 8 in a row. That said, I'm a clutch handicapper, especially with MLB. They gave me the privilege of picking NCAA BB all season long and when March Madness came around, I got the hook. That's food out of my kid's mouth.

    I don't want to be mad at anyone. I want to make a point (I've also had guys asking me where my picks are) What do I tell them? They can follow my picks in a FRIENDLY matchup this season with a well respected young writer. I'm a fossil at 45 going on 46-lol. That said, I'm a fighter. Been knocked down in my life many times (like all of you guys). However, I always find a way to fight back and that means everything to me. I love what SBR HAD done for me. If they believe in their writers, let's do this. I'm not going to rub it in anyone's face and if I lose, I will be the first person to say, "AWESOME JOB!".

    SBR Writing team: The Ball is in your court for some "fun".Don't we all love when someone back's up their word and guys can tail or fade?

    Why does it have to be a writer? Why not just start a tracking thread. Single thread. We can all tail or fade based off that and it's all documented which is what your really lookingnfor.

    It makes me uncomfortable when you interject your autistic kid as if he's some kind of bargaining chip.

    "You can't fire me, I have an autistic kid!"

    Shut up.

    Don't want to explain. SBR is allowing me to post. It need's to be a writer and the writers actually do good work. People in the forum have my total respect. Just something that I need to do. thanks SBR. keep this thread rolling and hopefully someone puts up a season long challenge because MLB capping is a marathon. I'm ready anytime!

    I still like you. It just hurts financially because bills are mounting with my child's "battle". I love him more than life itself. He means everything to me, has little family (people died prematurely), and I do everything for him. I'm 45 and he's 3. Never had help from anyone except his mom. Being a dad late in life is a privilege like no other. I'm blessed. The adversities do intervene when something is taken away from you and you don't think that it's right. I "made my mark", so to speak, on SBR for well over 7 years and it becomes a grind. I was grateful for the opportunity. We'll leave it at that. I can lose my first 5 games and I BELIEVE that I can beat anyone there. (I leave LT and Willie Bee out..too much respect for them)

    Anyone can be fired from any job and my kid is motivation at all times. When you take away from me, you take away from my son and he comes first. I'm not selfish.

    Nah... I said that writing was a grind and I was basically doing it everyday for over 7 years. I think that it take's experienced cappers to do the work that aren't "kids", but I actually asked to be fired if there wasn't work. I did the entire NCAA Basketball Season and when March Madness came, I wasn't needed. In my opinion, that's getting me to do the grunt work and then disgarding me. For my part, I would be late at times because I have an autistic kid and am not totally blameless. ( I would do later games to compensate for print time). I wish they could've given me a little signal or something and I would've had to adjust to it. It never had to do with the quality of the work. There was simple misunderstanding ( that I don't want to rehash because the thread would get taken down). The people who were my bosses from the beginning knew me best and coveted my work. I have no issue with any writer at all. They do the best that they can. Do I think that I'm better? No comment-lol- but in baseball I will provide a flatout yes and everyone is missing out. My pride is leading me to this "Friendly challenge" and I don't care who it is. I know I will win. I leave Willie Bee and LT out of this because they're middle age like me and I respect them. I urge someone to take the challenge because how would it look if they didn't? I already said, it would be a "friendly" challenge. I wouldn't rub anything in and if I were to lose, I would congratulate the winner (they're not going to win). Hopefully someone has the inner strength (lol) to take me up on my challenge. I would be one motivated capper and I am streaky!. I can lose, but if I get on a run, "hop the f aboard).

    Also, there is a lack of quality on the front page IMO and it bothers me. I could provide much better.

    Your pissing in the wind bud. If your a winning capper you should be fine. Start a thread. People will give you points if you win or lose really just don't be a 50% capper. Go pro. Cash those points out for gift cards. Buy shit for kid. Not hard.

    Non pros never pay up when they lose.. They run and disappear instead..

    Most people do not read write ups anymore

    Long gone

    It is the new age of a few words on a game

    Games are all random so write ups mean nothing

    Attention span of people across world now around 2 minutes

    I conduct myself with class. People want to be nasty. Hey YOUNG SBR WRITERS: Grow some nuts and let's have a contest. I will win and embarrass you and the people responsible for thinking that "you're worthy" Let's go. I never backed down from a challenge in my life and there were plenty of times at risk of failure. Failure makes you improve as as a person. I'm still calling you out. I tried to do it politely but some haters got my temper up a bit. POLITELY accept the challenge and prove to me that I'm not worthy and I will GO PRO at the end of the MLB SEASON and donate (small) to an SBR charity out of respect. How's about that? I'm wiling to go SBR PRO at the end of the season (I still love SBR) and would love to give what I was able to give to an SBR Charity that's listed if I lose. I BACK UP MY SHIT!

    And you have my word on that as a man, a father, and, my respect for this site despite some of the trolls. I'm not here to be a dick. I'm here for capper vs. capper (writer). None of you know me outside of here but I have a huge heart, been through an enormous amount of tragedy, but I'm grateful for what god has given me and grateful to be alive and pass it on to my son.

    No more troll replies... tell me when you're ready to take on my challenge and prove to me why I shouldn't be writing. thank you.
