I went 3-10 last week. Frankly, I don’t deserve to write anything about making picks so here’s Rory:
So, now that I’m in first place, Keith wants me to do an introduction to the picks. He said that I could write about the NBA. But you know what this really is? An invitation to jinx myself! Clearly, he’s frightened of my amazing picking skills, and wants me to write something bragging about how smart I am. But I won’t do it! I’ll just congratulate Keith for doing so well up to now. Don’t give up, Keith! I’m sure you’ll be back on top soon!
