Don&#8217;t listen to that other guy, Cliff. Let him find his way off the cliff of sobriety and into an STI that a cure has yet to be discovered. Instead, your should listen to this Guy. That is me, Guy Incognito, a degenerate gambler. I&#8217;ll bet on anything &#8217;cause I have what it takes to lay down a bet. How often do I win? That&#8217;s irrelevant, but let&#8217;s just say you&#8217;re not truly living unless you&#8217;ve missed a mortgage payment here or there, or for the last 3 months. If you really want to know who is going to win the BBPT Cup this season, you need to have insider information. And that&#8217;s what I got for ya. The goods from worst to best:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smallers<\/strong> &#8211; While rumours about D-League poker play are very true, the real dirt is this Cup hopeful has been playing less and less cards and more and more Rocket League. What&#8217;s that you ask? A video game that combines driving cars\u00a0and soccer. Sources say that he&#8217;s so addicted that he&#8217;s playing until 3:00am on weeknights. It seems Small-Job would rather lose to 13-year-olds trash talking on x-box than take the time to practice his craft.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike<\/strong> &#8211; Sources from the Mike L&#8217;s camp say pressure has gotten to the Drunken Master. He&#8217;s shut down all forms of communication and rarely speaks with anyone. Although, some say that&#8217;s due to his stubborn divotion to a technology company that can&#8217;t produce a phone that allows for proper communucation. &#8220;He can&#8217;t even make the right decision to switch to a proper smartphone producer. How the hell is he going to win a the cup?&#8221; a source explained. It seems Mike&#8217;s lack of decisiveness has him in an eternal headrub of anxiety. Something we haven&#8217;t seen since early BBPT seasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark<\/strong> &#8211; The most fascinating study of human species walks among us. He&#8217;s bothing winning and losing at the same time. The duality of this complex beast is too much to comprehend. The nights when he&#8217;s dialed in, he&#8217;s an unstoppable force. But then break hits, and he&#8217;s off to another dimension bending time &amp; space and creating new ideas of what existenialism really means. Word has it that the academic world is chomping at the bit to get a look inside the mind of Mark.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle<\/strong> &#8211; High off a tournament win, a lot of gamblers would back this horse. But the real skinny is that Kyle full of rage and can&#8217;t live without rageahol. Weather it&#8217;s slow dealing or bad beats, his anger clouds his judgement to play at elite levels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jay<\/strong> &#8211; Mr. Cruel Intentions is too Hollywood for this tour.\u00a0 A TMZ like site reports &#8220;Jay&#8217;s committed to the game but don&#8217;t want hear &#8217;bout practice.&#8221; With only 1 season under his belt, he&#8217;s got a long way of learning how to go the distance on the tour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeff T<\/strong> &#8211; A whirlwind of speculation suggest that Jeff&#8217;s number crunching of Rainman like proportions at the tables have caused some serious problems outside the game. &#8220;The dude will not buy underwear from K-Mart &#8211; but that store ain&#8217;t around no more&#8221; said some guy involved in Jeff&#8217;s\u00a0aliens church group. This could be why Jeff has been dippin&#8217; into the herbal teas. Trying to realign his chi so that he can center himself and finally take the step in the winner&#8217;s circle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris D<\/strong> &#8211; If there was man I trusted more on this tour, it would be Chris. All you have to do is look into his eyes and see a fire that has taken over his soul this season. After 7 disapointing seasons of terrible poker play, Chris has turned a new leaf and he&#8217;s finally a person you can dab-pend on. It would take a Super Bowl of historic and epic colllapse for this soul to bounce his way out of a championship.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my coloumn.
