Where is Bananaman?!

[TCB]

He is the only guy I could consistently beat vs the spread a few years back.
Speaking of which, I kinda like all 4 road teams to be very much in these games.
Haven't checked the lines, but would not be surprised if a few road teams win this weekend.

My guess is his Mom finally kicked him out of the basement and he's now working at starbucks making lattes.

Could be!
Hearing him try to wiggle his way out of being so wrong so many times, was some of the funniest stuff I can remember on any message board.

I haven't looked either at the lines. EVERYONE is talking Ravens so I'm thinking NE is the sharp side. Indy and Carolina look to be good plays too. Indy could win outright and the Seattle/ Carolina game could be very low scoring and cover the big number.

Wow, I wrote that like I'm a real gambler. Truth is I hardly ever bet, and when I do it's for pocket change. Bur I like to talk the talk anyway.

Bananaman would call everyone a troll. He also had another word he would use all the time which I forget. He pissed off so many people on the ESPN forum. Sad you remember the guys who cause the problems but forget the names who just post factual and informative stuff. He loved to disagree and say off the wall things so everyone would focus on him and attack his post. Which would be exactly what he wanted, more attention. Attention is attention good or bad. Damn behaviorist in me coming out again. Ahhh the good old days.

I called Bman out on being a troll very early on, but my words seemed to land on deaf ears, and since he continued to pray on everyone's need to prove him wrong, I ditched my redskins espn badge for a box of popcorn and laughed my ass off for a few years.

He used a couple of words, but the one I remember was cretin. Everyone was a cretin.

DGF, the reason I have done badly on playoff bets in the past vs the line, is I do one of two things.
1. Bet with my heart.
2. Second guess myself.

Both are killers.

This year, the teams I want to win are:
GB, Car, Balt, Den.

So what does my gut tell me.

Car @ Sea
Defensive battle with Carolina peaking. They have played Seattle tough twice, but losing late. Granted both were in Carolina. Prediction 20-17 Seattle.

Dallas @ GB
Dallas can keep the ball away from Rodgers with ball control.
Rogers is dinged up. Prediction. 27-20 Dallas

Balt @ NE
New England has fits with Baltimore.
Brady is amazing and they have a much improved defense.
Baltimore is very tough in the playoffs. Prediction 23-20 New England

Indy @ Den
Peyton is older and immobile. Luck is young and already a star.
Indy makes too many mistakes each game and you can't do that vs a Manning team.
Prediction 38-27 Denver.

So 3 of the 4 teams I want to win, I have losing.
Tried hard not to second guess myself. Will, see what happens.

All bman would do is troll and tell us how bad the skins were at everything but he still claimed to be a skins fan. God I still remember his stupid profile picture which I heard wasn't even him.

Haha have to say I got a good laugh out of this. He and justus were always good for a laugh back in the espn days. Annoying as hell though really lol.

HAving worked in IT off and on the past 20+ years, I can say that IP tracking is not fool proof. How ever when you got 4 guys with the same or relatively the same IP... Odds are you were right.
