Brett reads The Sports Guy on ESPN. He's a big fan. He read Bill Simmons book entirely on the toilet last year. Thank god we had two bathrooms!
Anwyays - his wife writes her own random columns when she does her "picks". They are always pretty funny and Brett and I think they could be our best friends. My "Woman Doctor" works in the same office with Bill Simmon's step mom. I felt like we were connected. I looked at pictures of their baby. It was weird.
Anyways - her article today was pretty funny.

I pick EXACTLY the same way for the March Madness pools. Except I throw in things like "I hate that kid that looks like he doesn't wash his face so I'll root against his team even though they are good". Same thing for the Suns. I could never root for a Steve Nash team. Hopefully he doesn't come to Boston. Wash your hair and I'll pick your team. As we already learned I am not a football fan so my "picks" are just random. For example even though my friend Julie goes there I could never pick Stanford to win anything. They have a TREE for a mascot. How lame is that. I dont actually think that there could be anything worse than a friggin tree. I usually pick UConn because I was there when Rip Hamilton won the title. I was doing keg stands with frat boys. It was amazing! I also usually pick fun schools like Gonzaga. I just like the name. The cool part is that they are usually a good school to pick. If UCLA is good that year (which I will know since Brett is OBSESSED) I usually pick them to win it all unless its against UConn. Since I'm in Boston no one picks UCLA so I usually last pretty long in the pools. That's how I make my picks.

Want to know how I do my picks?
For fantasy football, I choose hot guys. I ended up in third place in the regular season.
For March Madness, I choose Jesuit teams (since I went to Loyola). Then I choose teams with cool names. Then I go by team colors. I'm never first but I'm never last.
For weekly football picks, I always choose the Bears and the Browns. (Sad, I know) Then I choose anyone that's playing against the Steelers, Ravens and Bengals. (Again sad, I know) Then the rest usually goes by how much I liked the team growing up and if they're playing at home. Because I typically root for the visiting team because I like people in the stands to feel the same misery I do when we go to the Dawg Pound and lose at home. I'm bitter.
