Normally under regular circumstances the high class men of print media would never go out and have a response to those virgins over at the podcast. We actually had some decent games this week\u2026 I would like to recap those, but instead I got to set the record straight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time and time again, it\u2019s proven that I know ball. I know ball. It\u2019s that\u2019s simple. Those clowns that run the podcast have pages and pages of notes, but barely know anything about the game\u2026 in fact the only thing they know less about is\u2026 consensual sex. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, people seem to forget that I have resources that nobody else has. Stat lines and an advanced analytics AI consistently running in the background- while those podcast nerds are updating their resumes trying to get a job as my intern. Well let me make it easy for you, the only one I will be hiring is Garrett. And let\u2019s be clear, I fuck all my interns. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transitioning into the power rankings, it\u2019s no surprise THAT NO ONE MOVED AT ALL. I called it perfect last week. Team Gersitz continues to dominates opponents. While Team Chaz (2) barely held on vs (3) Team Garrett and Team Justin(5) came back to win vs Grant (6)\u2026. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week Three Power Ranking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Team Gersitz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Team Chaz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Team Garrett<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Team Justin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Team Jimmy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 Team Grant<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are very few sure things in life, but there is a few things I would bet my life on\u2026 including  E losing his game, Bryant ordering BBQ wings at the bar, Richie forgetting to shave, and chaz \u201cforgetting\u201d to sub. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d rather spend a week in Grants \u201ctoy\u201d drawer than huddle around a microphone every week in a basement making every wrong prediction possible. It must make the podcasters feel \u201csafe\u201d knowing there isn\u2019t a female within 300 feet of that basement. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their \u201cpsa\u201d of having no one to keep stats is proven wrong every week.  We have backup stat keepers in case someone gets hurt and as always AK is available to keep stats during his game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do appreciate the podcast guys posting every week because we do love the awful takes and the pod is great to fall asleep to. The only annoying part is that we fall asleep too quickly. Keep up the \u201cmediocre\u201d work guys\u2026 I will be declining the invite, but I will be tuning in next week and betting the opposite of all your predictions. Thanks for the Free Money.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
