SEPTEMBER WITH THE PICKS AND LITTLE LEAGUE FOOTBALL

    Well, we are 1 month into the season and looking back on the month, I am amazed at how I feel. We turned a profit over the month. We didn't have any losing weeks and only 1 push week. To most playing the games, that is a GREAT month! Everyone signing up today, would love to be into profit and heading into October. We didn't lose on Mondays and are winning on a consistent basis. I cant help to think what might have been in September with just a couple more winning days. Sundays have been pretty brutal. We will win on Sundays over the season but we didn't have a very good month on Sundays. The good news is, we were up a lot of games heading into each Sunday so a bad Sunday did little more than give back a little profit we had made each week. With a few good Sundays, we are poised for a really nice run and build on the profit we have already made this season.

 

Little league football has started and we are a couple of games into the season. I have to tell you although I have really enjoyed my team and teaching them about football and more, it hasn't been a lot of fun so far.  I had always heard about little league parents being the problem, not the kids and I am feeling a little bit of that. Before the season, I prayed a lot about conducting myself in a way that wouldn't create any enemies. My goal was simply to get thru the season and give a good experience to the kids and try and get a long with everyone involved with the league. That has been easier said than done.  For some reason, I have become enemy # 1 to a small group of parents. I am sure this is because of a lot of things. I have written a couple of biog entries that were unpopular, and I suppose that the fact I give advice on sporting events has automatically made me a bad guy in some peoples eyes. The amazing part of the entire thing is the very people that are causing the most issues this year are the very people that are filling the Churches that preach tolerance, acceptance, compassion etc. These people are spending at least part of 6 days a week creating issues out of nothing and then 1 day a week praying about what a good person they are and are trying to be. I WILL NOT mention , at this time, any names or specific situations that have been brought to my attention over the last few weeks. I wont talk about the flat out made up stuff that have been said about me and my character from people that do not know me and refuse to listen to the people that DO know me and what type of person I am. I wont mention the many examples of things I or my family has done to try and change the opinions of a few people that again do not know me or anything about me. I wont mention any specific examples of ways some of these people have tried to stir up things that have no merit or any truth. FOR NOW. I will continue to try and take the high road. I will continue to do everything I can to give my kids as good an experience as possible. I will continue to pray for patience and compassion for people that have obviously forgotten why there are little league sports to begin with and who's ignorance about me and what the Fat Jack service actually is has made them into hypocrites that on the surface appear to be kind caring people and spend a part of their week spreading lies about not only myself but others that have done nothing to warrant that behavior. YET.    Like any person, I will only pray for patience for so long. There may be a time, if I am continued to be provoked , will be forced, as a service to others that know these people to discuss specifics , to expose the "other side" of these people. I know it is not the right thing to do and REALLY don't want to cause issues for people but at some point, when you continue to kick a dog , he will eventually BITE. Keep it up and I will BITE.

 

By the way, none of these people play the games against the spread and I have no idea why they would even read my blog but trust me, they will.

 

If your playing the games against the spread, get signed up today and start winning. If you are a

After a small profit in week 1, excited about labor day week and the start of 6th grade football!!! Hold on to your hats....

I am sitting on a plane headed to Vegas for 48 hours. I am going to sign up for a few handicapping contests and meet with my runner. Not a lot of fun and quick but that's ok, I am really addicted to my family right now. I think I have trained myself to enjoy working and being with my wife and kids each fall. Not as much travel. The problem with that is , when I have to go somewhere I really miss my people. I was really excited for the football season to get underway and the first week has done nothing to temper my excitment. After an easy win on Thursday, we had an opinion winner on Friday. We pushed Saturday but then another winning opinion on Sunday. Fact is , if I had released 14 picks this weekend I would have gone 10-4 at the worst. It is always a good idea to ease into the season to make sure you are on the right page and a small winning week is better than a big losing one anyday but it is nice to know I am dialed in and ready for a great season. If you are one of those guys that are playing on their own, stop! It is to affordable for you to not sign up and win this week. My 6th grade football team has been practicing for a couple of weeks and have a round robin scrimmage next Sunday. Normally I have a good idea about how good my team is. As a matter of fact , if you are a follower of my blog, I always give odds on the teams in our league to win the Norman optimist super bowl. 2 years ago I rated us as co second choices to win and we lost in the semis, last year I picked us 4th and we lost in the semis. This season we are much better than both of those years but it is a little hard to tell if that is because we are better or just 6th graders and not 4th graders. We should be better, right ? We will know a lot more after next Sunday and I will let you know our chances then. Having gone through another year of fittings and getting the teams together I was reminded of how many of you read this blog specifically waiting for me to say something to offend you. You aren't going to sign up for my service, in fact, you don't even gamble but when it comes to this time of year, by god , you are going to keep up with my blog waiting for me to say something bad about soccer or and say something not so flattering about someone you know. Lol. Question is , what are you going to do next year without me to monitor? I won't have a football team. My son will play for his school. I might not write as many things about our team and therefore, not say something you can run and tell all of your friends about! What will you talk about at your charity meetings and your drunko I mean bunco events with your friends. Well, maybe if your lucky I will start coaching my daughters soccer team. That would be a whole new group of parents for me to offend. And if your lucky enough to have a younger child , just maybe I will say something that gives you something to talk about with your friends. Stay tuned we have an entire season for some parting shots!!! Xxooxoxo. If you are one of those people that is betting on football games, sign up today. Unfortunately for some, I am going to have a huge season !!!!!!!!!

FOOTBALL SEASON IS UNDERWAY AND WE ARE 100% ON THE SEASON!!! and random thoughts ...

Well, it is Friday and I am right in the middle of about 20 radio interviews. Fridays during football season are always fun. All of the radio hosts and fans are excited about the games upcoming this weekend and my clients and I are excited about the success that is most likely coming over the next few days. Last night we started the season like we start most seasons, we got ourselves into profit. I always love going on the radio after a strong start because it is the only time all year I get to yell, " WE ARE 100% ON THE YEAR!! " and unlike other services, I am telling the truth. If you didn't start this season getting yourself into profit, YOU NEED TO SIGN UP NOW! Yesterdays games were not difficult. If it hadn't been the first night of the season, we would have easily been 4-0. The free winners on my show were easy winners and everyone that is part of our service is winning. You never want to go crazy the first week of the season BUT yesterdays results bode well for the future for my clients and I. I love Labor Day weekend but I am not sure why my kids are off from school. I love it when they are home but I would prefer to use this day later in the year when we could go on vacation and they were a little sicker of school. Right now, they are just getting in the grove. I am coaching my sons 6th grade football team. This is my last season as a little league football coach. Next season the boys will play for the school and although they ask for a few parents to help , I don't think I will be doing that. It has been a great time over the last few seasons but it will be nice to not wake up thinking about a play that might work or who might work better at free safety on a 6th grade team! I really have enjoyed getting to know some of these kids and it has been a nice compliment to the football I spend most of my fall analyzing. For those of you that are heading to Vegas, I will post my predicted win totals for some teams so you might check the free winners page on the website. If you are planning on betting on the games this season, I am telling you, NOW is the time! We are going to have a big season !  This week looks great and nothing makes a tailgate party more fun then to be 4-0 as you are eating your first burger! Remember, there are amateur  drunks everywhere this weekend so be careful. Happy Labor Day weekend,have a safe weekend and good luck!!
