The Don sounds off... 11/14/2009
 I am here for two reasons; (1) because I was requested to return by a very dear friend of mine and (2) to set the record straight, directing it toward a certain individual, who not only keeps giving weekly lame ass picks, but continues to post falsified information. What has been done for the past several weeks is called “he said, she said” in the world of journalism and no real assessment of the truth has been given. You want the truth? I think you CAN handle the truth, and the truth is that Don Trotter has not given any true picks for three weeks and stating anything otherwise, especially throwing out "5-11" stats, is completely egregious. After being viciously attacked by a 4 yrs old a couple weeks back, The Don posted picks that directly contradicted the picks of another poster, “Chaz”. After that post, I sent a message, via text, to a dear friend of mine, Tom Hammer. The text read, paraphrasing; "Tom, post this email. These are not my picks for the week, rather, just having a little bit of fun. I will send you my true picks later tonight." In regards to the second set of picks from last week, I sent a message, this time via email, to Tom and another dear friend of mine, Sam. The email message read, paraphrasing; "Here are some games to consider." Never did The Don mention that any of those games were true bets that should be made, nor did I instruct the Hammer to post them. I simply sent an email out to a couple of gambler friends of mine on some games I thought looked interesting and if they liked one of the games, take the bet. Last week I sent multiple emails out, once again, to Tom and Sam. Those emails contained winners and one really big winner, my lock; the over in the Purdue/Michigan game. That particular email read: On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 11:18 AM, Don <person e-mail removed> wrote: I will probably shoot you guys another email tonight with some of the games I like, but take that OVER 53 for the Michigan/Purdue game. Michigan’s defense is really bad and I can assure you that their offense will score. The last two games may not seem like a high flying offense, but take it from me; they have turned the ball over seven times in the redzone the last two weeks. They will play good at home against Purdue. Plus, it is going to be a great day tomorrow in Ann Arbor; sunny and 60. Purdue’s spread will score at LEAST 21 points, but probably more like 28 or 35.. Look for Michigan to put up 35 or more. Last year this game was 42-48. Emails like that somehow did not find their way to this site, nor did I want them too. The reasoning for my disappearance was simple; to sit back and watch people like Chaz, who think they know the game of football, to fall completely of their face. I haven’t sent picks into this site because people like Chaz will jump off my bandwagon after one bad week, and think they can do better. Well, we’ve seen how that has gone, and to be honest, it’s simply embarrassing. On the other hand, the people who didn’t come out of the wood work pounding their chest like a “Greek God” thinking they know football, just sat back, relaxed and kindly asked me for picks the following weeks. Two weeks ago I had a friend call mine call me at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. He informed me that he had a $1K bankroll and wanted one game. I told him, paraphrasing; "If I had $1K I would put it all on Texas A&M to cover vs. Iowa St." The next day I got a text from him stating, and I quote, "Thank you very much! You da-man!!". This past week, I gave him the over in the Purdue/Mich game & Stanford to cover vs. Oregon. Not only did I get that same text message again, but $100 showed up in the mail for me with a note that read; “Thx for digging me out of the hole from earlier in the year.” So, what does this all mean? Well, in short; I'm fucking good. During Saturday's & Sunday's text messages poor into my phone because true gamblers, needing one game to make their weekends, crave The Don’s advice. I have a greater plethora of clients than you can possibly fathom. People weep for my picks and curse people like Chaz because they don’t have the luxury, the luxury of knowing what I know; that every week people like Chaz will kill your bank roll with 1-4 weeks, while my picks, no matter how grotesque and incomprehensible they may seem, will increases it. People don’t want advice from turds like Chaz. Deep down they want my advice, they need my advice. I use words like parlay, teaser and locks. I use these words as a backbone to win money. People like Chaz uses them as a punch-line. I have neither the time or inclination to explain myself to a person who has to shave his back or has NEVER played a down of true organized football in his entire life. I would rather him just say “thank you” for being 3-1 in my locks on this site and went on his way, otherwise I suggest he stop conjuring up falsified information, stats and complete horseshit so he can make himself feel and look better, even though he is an atrocious 6-9 the last three weeks and doesn’t even give locks, which are the sole of true gambler and what his life relies on. I know more about the game of football than anybody who reads this site. I can tell you where the hot route is on a specific blitz, what play the quarterback should check to, where he should go with the ball and what linebacker the running-back is responsible for. I can tell you what the field side corners responsibility is if number one runs a vertical in quarters coverage. I can tell you how many drop steps a quarterback should take on every given route and how many gather and hitch steps. If you want to know what the progression reads are on the strong safety and sam backer on a y-stick h-flat 65, I can tell you. If you want to know where the weakness is in a two-deep zone vs. an empty set, I can tell you. I can tell you who the Y should pick on a rub route out of a trips set on a 99 sprint option right. Basically, if you want to know football, just ask me. If you want your bankroll to be higher off my overall 6-1 locks, then listen to me. On the other hand, if you want loser picks, like Michigan to beat Illinois or completely comical information like, “Beaver Stadium is the most intimidating atmosphere in college football” when they are 0-2 at home vs. non Akron and Syracuse teams, then ask somebody else. I will give my picks again this week. Tak’em if you like’em. If you don’t, that’s cool too. Stay tuned. CommentsChazz Speedman Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:31:57 I didn't peg you as a whiner Trotter. I've called the Whambulance for your incessant rambling. My post is on it's way. Leave a Reply | Tom Hammer
