Media Writer Suspends Himself After Picking UK Over UF

[Random UK Fan]

"Don't ask me why I made this preposterous prediction. I thought I had a premonition and a hunch, but obviously I just had a temporary brain infarction.

One Gator fan even took a copy of my column, used it as toilet paper and then stuffed the poop-stained article in an envelope and mailed it to me. His message: "If I have to put up with your crap; you should have to put up with mine.

I don't want to be a hypocrite, and this is why I'm self-imposing a one-week suspension on picking football games. This is going to be tough because I've been making weekly pigskin predictions for 25 years. In short, I have become a football-picking junkie.

As radio caller Buckeye Rob told me on our show, I need to treat this as an alcoholic would treat a 12-step program. The first step is to admit that I have a problem.

My name is Mike Bianchi, and I picked Kentucky to beat Florida."

Drew Franklin picked uk to win on the radio before the game, and then trashed the program on KSR that night. Man, a job without accountability has to rule

I'm betting he is one of those pundits who just like to stir the pot, because it generates more readers. No other logical reason to have picked UK. Guess he got what he asked for: a lot of (angry) readers.
