Yeah, I'm guessing the talking works about as well for you as the awesome "capping" you're so proud of. I'm especially impressed that you were able to pick 3 of 8 teams still left. And you only spent 18 hours capping it! Maybe you really have earned the right to talk all you want. I mean, even in my bracket, which is the worst bracket I can ever remember picking, I managed to get 5 of the remaining 8.
You're capping skills seem all the more impressive when you consider the fact that you literally spent more time capping this tournament than I spent watching college basketball this entire year.
Additionally, when you look at the net54 leaderboard and realize that our current leader (props to N. Brazil) picked all 8 of the remaining teams and has not talked a word of smack, well I guess I can see why you'd want to keep talking about your mad gambling skills. Bob was exactly right about how quickly things can change, which anyone who has ever had their bracket ruined overnight knows. So you've either been picking perfect brackets every year, or are every bit the amateur your posts make you look like.
Oh, and by the way, out of 59 entries in our group, only 2 of them picked worse than you this last round. I hope you won't mind if I don't take a friendly pool between a bunch of vintage baseball card collectors where no money is involved as seriously as you apparently do.
But if it's working for you, keep talking, big guy.
Like you said, you can talk all you want.
