The blog has been boring for awhile.

Call me a dick for calling Gorecki out publicly, but I warned him not to embarrass me AGAIN with not being the only guy in the pool to pay late. The basketball tournament runs for 3 weeks and it's been over for another week. I've been doing gambling pools with this friend of my fathers for at least 15 years now and I'm not about to not get invites because I pass out invites to stiffs. This isn't the first time that I've gotten an email from a guy that runs a pool that I've invited him to. There were 80 something people in this pool and I invite the only one. Sheesh.

PS if he get's paid for 'winning' Chandlers masters pool whatever, this just enables him to continue to be the only person who never pays for a pool or fantasy league on time. The rule for Chandler's pool clearly states "If you don't pay BEFORE the tournament starts you entry will be ignored". Whatever, it's not my pool and I didn't win so it's really not up to me, but I have my own opinion. On that note congratuations to Geoff for winning the pool.

This was sent to Mike before the pool started:

Don't embarrass me ;)
The address for payment is in the rules section. Make sure you submit the total points for the final three games and NOT just the championship game, people screw it up yearly. Good luck.

Hi Brian,

Thank you.

Your buddy, Mark

Text to 'Always Late Pay Gorecki'

ME: I don't wanna be a Dick but I'm going to. I told you don't embarrass me and pay on time. Do me a favor. Don't get in anymore pools run by me or a connection gave you. Sorry buddy :)  

Gorecki: It was mailed last week so tell him to be on the lookout

BRIAN LITMAN:

 Mark, I sent him a text message last night when I got your email, he told me he put the check in the mail last week. If it's not there in the next few days let me know and I will send you the money. He's actually living in Atlanta currently so it should take no time to get to you. He's a friend of ours but is continuously last to pay because 'it slipped his mind'. I told him to never get in another pool that is run by me or a contact of mine because I've gotten this same email from George for the king of the hill pool. Funny thing is I told him before he got in to not embarrass me and pay on time since that's been his MO. I apologize about the delay and once again thanks for running the pool Brian
