I agree, no need to badger poor or PJ about it. I would say though, as a the guy who is the most obnoxiously optimistic (I say it lightheartedly) about the Bombers - over any other forum regular - people's brain's just have a hard time understanding why you "Mr Keep the Faith" won't pick the BB to win.
Always hoping for victory, always cheering for an upset. Pickems are a contest that rewards those that pick the winning club, I pick my teams based on who will most likely win.
I agree, I find it oddly funny that he is picking Calgary as well... and as a side note to PJ, who I have no issue with at all, it does make the balance of your posts harder to 'swallow' by picking Calgary... it tells everyone that you too don't believe what you post about the Bombers... no disrespect intended either, just giving you some insight as to how it 'plays' when reading it...
I pick to win the pickems. That's why I have participate in it, to win.
The bomber slapped PJ in the face the last time they played Calgary as he had no faith that we could win at home. The bombers will do it again on Sunday. Go Bombers.
Who picked the Bombers to win every week early on to help earn me the top spot?
Calgary has a slight advantage due to their QB and the fact that they are at home. If we had Nichols I would have picked Bombers. If we were at home I would have picked Bombers. I have stuck my neck out countless times over the last 2 or 3 years supporting this club through thick and thin. Sometimes I beat the drum a little hard but many times it turns out my faith in the team was warranted and it paid off. Turns out that my faith in our coaches, management and players wasn't as far off any many have suggested. Not always right but not as wrong as many have pointed out. Now I pick against the Bombers a few weeks and people get on me likely crazy in the true web / Bomber forum mod mentality that this place is classic for.
I suggest that everyone remembers that the pickems is a separate thread / game we all play to win. It's not directly correlated to how one supports their team. I would appreciate if in the future people found a way to not use the pickems as a way to attack other members simply on their choice of who they think win a ball game. Thank you.
Big thanks to those that defend me, bigger one to those that are will to cooperate on what I have suggested above.
