Week 6 Picks Recap

What a week!  We broke all kinds of records last night.

Due to the high volume of similar picks and the tie between 'Ballics/BC!BC!... everyone either won or lost.

Those that won (-1) include:  Chandler, Nate Dawg, Geoff, Kyle, Maria, Jack, Teneille, Brie, Rob, Griff, Bull, Florian, Paige, Alison, Gorecki, Todd, Smithkey and Natalie.

Those who lost (-2) include: Rollo, Kat S., Stephanie, Kristen and Caruso.

That's right... 18 people get 5 drinks... for a total of 90 drinks exchanging hands.  As always, the winners need to collect from the losers.

Speaking of losers... this also happened:

A bunch of players on "I'd Kick That" were pissed off at Florian for betting against his team this week.  He was verbally chastised at the fields because apparently you "shouldn't bet against your team" and doing so caused IKT to lose due to "bad Karma."  Let's break this down:
  1. "Karma" is a concept found in Hindu and Buddhist religions.  Last I checked, nobody on IKT were devout followers of these faiths.  Even if one believes in the idea of a cycle of consequences, I guarantee you their deity is not watching (nor caring) about the outcome of a fucking kickball game.  If they were, their God wouldn't bet on IKT either.
  2. Betting your team won't win has zero affect on the outcome of the game.  If you're suggesting that someone would throw the game to win $1-$5 in free, shitty Miller Lites... you are an idiot.  In fact, the following "Picks Experts" have bet AGAINST their teams this season:  myself, Florian, Rob, Kyle, Maria, Paige, Bull, Refill Kevin, Natalie, Caruso, Nate Dawg, and Smithkey.  I assure you that ALL of us still played our hearts out and would gladly owe $1-$18 in beers by winning our games.
  3. "I'd Kick That" lost 9-0 to Balls N Dolls.  Good job deflecting the outcome by blaming the "picks."  Here's a reality check for you:  IKT didn't lose because Florian picked BnD.  They lost because they're horrible at kickball.  And I personally guarantee you that their season will end the same way mine does... by not winning the tournament.
  4. None of the people who complained actually make picks. So I implore them to do so the following two weeks whilst picking their team to win.  I'm sure many of us would enjoy more free beer.
So there you have it.  We broke records on the number of drinks owed... AND in the number of morons getting butt-hurt. Over gambling.  For dollar beers.

The great part is, he got berated by people who apparently read the blog, but never bother to comment or otherwise make a contribution. If Flo only did picks for weeks he thought his team was going to win, he'd have very few chances to win free beers. Karma my ass, if Buddha won kickball games, Tony would never lose.

Remember when Flo used to play EVERY position? Those were the days.

Seemed like a pretty easy picks week. Caruso had quite a week, being the only one to miss the Shockers over the Ligers, yet also the only one to properly pick the TJs v Yeags game.

The OC says you're welcome for beating up on INaR and winning you all beers. I hope to put up a recap in a bit.
