Where's Papa Joe this year? Don't past champs get invited back or did he just decide not to come?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
go back and read the first line of the 2nd paragraph. since tuley wants me to comment on this - i will.
see what happens when joe lupo leaves? bob scucci doesn't allow scumbags such as wayne root to get down on their knees and give the sportsbook director a blow job in exchange for getting in something they have no business being in - in the first place.
i can "live" with this field. white and iskoe are solid guys. i know cokin catches a lot of hell here - but i sense he will do well. having lem banker in the field gives it a "name" and while len of 2003 isn't the same as len of 1983, i sense he won't pull a "root" and go 1-6 and act like an ass on air for 60 minutes - talking about everything BUT the games.
as for the 1st round - give me malinsky here. papa joe tends to get VERY lucky in past competitions. the week he goes 2-5 so does the other guy - and either papa joe hits his BB while the other one doesn't - or they come back the next week and papa joe wins that one.
it's basically all luck in that if you are hot one week - the other guy might be, too. i know when in vegas for the pary, stephen nover said he was in it 1 week and went something like 5-2 and got knocked out. at the party i also spoke to you, dave, about this and your efforts in the past. it really is a crapshoot and like the ncaa hoops tourney - the best person (team) doesn't always win in a "1 and done" deal.
