Wow tough crowd. Must be nice to be consistently perfect at everything you do........
Little Lou, theres an infinite number of options between ass kissing and soulless excoriation......in public no less. If you were concerned you could have communicated privately, instead of flaming her in her own thread. If you don't like what shes saying.........don't read it. Free country and all.
Lots of handicappers, maybe everyone thats done it more than a season or two.......reaches exactly the spot Monica is in. A bad run, starts to impact your choices. You become too cautious. Like a poker player on a losing streak, who folds too many hands and just seems to have gotten out of rhythm.
Dave Tuley writes for espn, and for years has been well over 60%. This past Tue and again yesterday he wrote, introspectively, about what went wrong this year. No disgrace, it happens to everyone. I started in 1966, tagging along with tv crews that did Sunday nfl games, "inside info"....my army job, allowed me some spare time on weekends. So if you haven't hit a cold spell......or a stretch where what was easy, isn't.....just wait, its coming.
I think the whole 911 mess and the changes in our great country ought to have taught us one thing, we are all on the same team, facing down much of the world that doesn't like us, and yes, wants to see us taken down several pegs. Then toss in ebola, (I'm an M.D,) the disease that scared me the most......pre aids, and with advances in antivirals.....ebola is back on top. Our government is lying to us about how nasty and how communicable this illness is. And some day, the radicals out to see our demise, will figure out the best way is though human sick bombs, lobbed at all the big cities, jihadis sick with the illness dijuor.
So until that day, lets treat our fellow countrymen with a little more respect and kindness. Monica has donated lots of time for years, receiving scant thanks. Monica I hope you aren't stopping the thread, if you do, I'll miss you. I didn't always agree with you, but I always enjoyed reading your thoughts.
You deserved better.
