I've been looking in the Post every day as well ... so far no dice. I have a feeling it will be in there later today ( Thursday )

Hey Guys, thanks a lot, better late than never I guess. I'm sure some of you guys know how hard I worked on the free fades thread this year. It really is a shame when this shit happens

I see this hoops guy who I never heard of with 2 pages of good lucks and a ridiculous # of views, makes me feel like a pariah.

I know there are many guys who have made good $$ from my picks, maybe a lot of lurkers, maybe its jealousy, I don't know, but its quite frustrating to not even be acknowledged. I usually only give good lucks when I post picks cause I'm not on the site as much as I used to be, but theres only so much a person can take

I do'nt want to sound like a whiney bitch, but I'm sure you can see my point of view, anyways thanks guys

TO BE QUIT HONEST.....I DONT SEE YOUR POINT OF VIEW ? I BELEIVE ITS YOUR CHOICE TO SPEND THIS MUCH TIME VIEWING AND POSTING ALL OF THESES PICKS! .....I HATE TO SOUND LIKE A MINION BUT....DOES ANYBODY REALLY REALLY REQUEST OR ASK FOR YOUR PICKS? ....I REALIZE YOU HAVE 3000 SOME POSTS , BUT FROM WHAT I CAN SEE, YOUR LOOKING FOR A " GOOD JOB BUDDY" OR A "THANK YOU" FROM NOWHERE? FROM WHAT I CAN TELL,YOU USUALLY POST AFTER AFTER MIDNIGHT...MOST PEOPLE ARE IN BED! ANYWAYS...IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL ANY BETTER, I ALWAYS CHECK OUT OUT YOUR PLAYS ....I HATE TO SOUND LIKE THE BAD GUY...BUT REALLY? WHAT ARE YOU ASKING FOR?

Tash, I'm not sure if I understand your post. I posted at 6:45 PM, and was largely ignored, I can't recall the last time I posted a pick after midnight(although my last nfl pick was at 6:00 am, and got lost in the mix), everyone of my CFB picks came within a few hours of the first game. I may post some of the newspaper & web freebies at odd hours, but thats it

Honestly, I'm not an attention hog, I never post my record in the thread title or toot my own horn all that much. I also don't care if people request my picks.

There is a thing called courtesy however, and I think I gave about 10 unanswered good lucks yesterday, and found it disturbing, so I stopped giving good lucks about an hour before the game started.

Also I spent a great deal of time putting together the free fades thread this year, and it got thousands of views each week, and possibly 5 thanks each week. Does that seem right?

Imagine if you went to work each day and were never paid. How would you feel? this may not be the best analogy, but it fits

Nonetheless, my CFB record speaks for itself, and I'm sure noone even came close to 70% this year, and remember its not quantity, but quality that counts. If I hadn't got my ass handed to me in the MLB playoffs, I'd be up a good deal of $ right now

The only thing I ever asked for in exchange for my time and hard work was an occasional thank you, and they were few and far between. So for you to say that this is coming out of nowhere, is a ridiculous statement

[Blackbeard]

I wanted to add to the last post but ran out of time, I won't say anymore on this, becasue its too subjective, and I can see some people don't understand my point of view.

Trust me its not a good feeling to work your ass off, have thousands of people(views) taking your hard work and not having the decency to spend ten seconds typing thanks.

today's circumstances may have been different, but it was the straw that broke my back, and trust me I have complained about similar stuff on several occasions before today, and I seriously doubt that I will ever do the free thread again, although I will continue to post the picks, I'm sure some guys have noticed the absence of that thread over the past few weeks.

Anyway, I will start a new post tomorrow, because this thread is getting silly

BB, Hang in there buddy. I for one always was in your thread.....Maybe it was me that gave you the 3K views. J/K Some of us are ungrateful for the work but I for one am not. Thanks for the time and effort. I helped you out a little a few times....I even started the Free Fade thread a couple of times.....I know It's alot of work......Thats why I always made a response in your thread. Most everyone else doesn't know how much time it is to post all those losers info. And then tally them after that. Keep up the good work buddy. Take Care and Happy Holidays!

[Blackbeard]

[griffey_mojo]
