Monday Math Review

When I first created the System (or when the System chose chose to reveal itself to me, depending on how you look at it), I realized that It was not all that different than a newborn wildebeest. Were It not able to stand up and run within a few minutes of Its life, there was a clear chance our baby System would not survive for long in the wild. But run it did. With two-week totals of 17-11 picking the winners and 9-5 against the spread, this fledgling wildebeest turned into a fertile, red-assed baboon presenting itself to the entire jungle, saying, 'Look at my red ass, and pick Dallas to win but Washington to cover the spread in week 11.' I thank the Lord (or the System, again depending on how you look at it), that I listened. Before Monday night's game in denver, I am 12-3 picking the winners and 10-5 against the spread. And while the competition is by no means over, I get the feeling that the System is like Rifiki in the Lion King, raising young Simba (me) up, blessing me in front of all the animals with his red-assed monkey magic.

For now, however, it's up to Tennessee to be either the icing on the cake or the hemorrhoid cream on the System's swollen monkey's ass (check the spelling on hemorrhoid).
