dr03 said:The problem is with the program's mindset. The program is alright going 7-4, 8-3, the expecation level isn't set high like it should be. The main reason why he ran all the time was because he had two stud tailbacks(Maroney, Barber on the Cowboys) and an inept QB. I agree though Mason has no idea what he's doing out here. This year will suck to with no Maroney and Russell at the local JUCO.
College Fan said:Maroney & Barber were studs, but I didn't think Cupito was that bad. Part of the problem was that the D always knew when they were throwing the ball because of Mason's gameplanning. And besides, I don't care if you've got Reggie Bush, Barry Sanders, Emmit Smith, or whoever at RB, you will very rarely (if at all) pick up 3rd and 9 on the ground, especially when the D knows you are running it!! But, that's Glenn Mason for 'ya...
And when's Monson going to get his pink slip?

dsethi said:RFB,
lay off the guy, i haven't seen you say anything on this site unrelated to dr03. easy to kick a guy while he's down...don't get what business you have here.
DR03, you shouldn't have stated you were taking a 5 week hiatus...saying you're taking a break is one thing, but putting a time table on things changes people's expectations. Now you could look like an ass if you cap a game between now and June. You may want to retract/revise your statement...
Kruser, My only issue with what he says is above. He def. doesn't have to play as many games as he's been playing, as baseball is long as hell. Shit, that's actually not a bad strategy, waitin for chop's plays to run out, then knowing exactly what you have to do to win. Kinda like college football overtime, playing D first so u know what you gotta do to tie/win.
Kruser6 said:Thats my problem with this. He is being a flat out coward. Yes we all need breaks in baseball, but to take 5 weeks? He KNOWS DAM well Chop will be done with his plays by then thus giving him a HUGE advantage. He may be able to change his ENTIRE capping style to win the contest if he knows exactly how much he needs. Its just not fair in my opinion. The point of the contest was to post our picks on a relatively daily basis. Yes a few days off here and there, but FIVE WEEKS off is just being a coward.
C-O-W-A-R-D
S-T-A-L-L
Kruser6 said:You are damn right, you are stalling. You know you are beat and you are trying to get out of it.
You have made that clear by threatning me that you are going to end this contest 3 days ago when you were down 17 units.
Now you simply found a loophole in which you can gain a huge advantage and hold out as long as possible.
5 weeks? Come on man, thats pathetic. You wouldn't know what to do with 5 weeks of information man. You are simply stalling, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Oh, and DAMN right I know I am going to win this. I wouldn't have put $500 on it if I didn't.
Patrick McIrish said:Kruser, I usually like how you handle yourself around here but step away from the computer for a while. You're acting like the world is going to stop until you get this $500 dollars. RELAX!! While he is losing is he still suppossed to rush out and force up 7-8 plays a day so he can hurry and get to 150 picks? The truth is if I was Dr and running like he was I would be taking a break as well, what's wrong with that? Where's Chop? Don't tell me he's on a break for running bad himself? Of course he is, wise fellow that he is. I know his probably won't be as long but nothing at all wrong with taking a time out when running bad. Hell I am running pretty good in bases but I may take a break myself to focus more on the NBA/NHL the next month, sounds reasonable to me. Without a time line in place he is perfectly within his rights to finish up his 150 picks at any point of the season.
Just my two cents, carry on.
