It’s time for another quick update for the Athlete Talk Drive to the Finals pick ‘em competition. I am on my lunch break right now, and I have 15 minutes until I have to be back at work. I am tempted to sign Abhi’s name at the bottom of this post, just in case this post sucks hard. We’ll see if I can resist the temptation.
First place on our leaderboard goes to:
‘TxKing’ with 365 points. For every King a Crown, and you are currently sporting the most prestigious crown of all: 1st Place on the Athlete Talk Drive to the Finals Leaderboard! You correctly picked the daily point leader Joe Johnson for last night. Which is better than ‘CodyTravers’, TRS_Carl (who the fuck is that?), ‘Shitassbutt’ (couldn’t make it off the toilet last night), and ‘Surgeons23′ who all forgot to make their pick.
‘jgc04b’ is 2nd with 359 points. The race at the top is pretty close, with the difference between first and third place only being 12 points. It is early in the race but kudos to you for appearing twice in the top 3 so far, let’s hope that eventually your computer algorithms mess up so us humans can have a chance to beat you. Otherwise, our only hope is a human like robot from the future come back in time to save the human race from total robot domination. Hey, that’s a pretty good idea for a movie (or three), and possibly a TV series.
SteveAlbini is third wth 353 points. We are getting close to the end of the first round, a lot of teams will start being eliminated now which reduces players available each day. Steve did not appear on the last leaderboard, so let’s see if he can keep up this positive momentum and continue to make smart picks. I just want to know I’ll be there rooting against you all the way.
The Antoine Walker Award for the Biggest Fall from Grace: ‘it BURNS when bondrook dominates’ with 295 points. After racing to the top of the leaderboard before the 1st update, you have slowed considerably since then and currently occupy 10th place in our standings. I agree that this analogy completely works because being 1st in the Athlete Talk Drive to the Finals league is a lot like being paid $110 million dollars over the course of your NBA career, while being 10th in the standings is a lot like writing hot checks to casinos, declaring bankruptcy, and playing basketball in Puerto Rico.
Last Place: ‘Dan’s Entry is going to spank yours’ with 264 points. Still time to recover, especially since he is “Saving Timmy (Duncan) for the finals.” A lot of time left but you are down almost 100 points. You will need some help or some people to stop making their picks. I’ve already missed making two of mine. You’re welcome.
Woo hoo! I am not last!
