Mike Piper: Urban Myth

[Steve Buffum]

You can't fool me: Lead Pipe is really Rickey Henderson. No one else can speak of himself in the third person as consistently.

Buff, just place the bets and watch the money roll in.

You'll be calling him "Mr. Piper, Sir" after he has you in a new Lexus by January.

Not to be snide, but where is the other guy's column?

Buff, when you can come to terms with a prognosticator on the level of a Lead Pipe, some tough decisions need to be made.

Believe me Buff. I've sat at a poker table with him in Vegas for 15 straight hours.

He's real.

Real annoying too. Like in 'Dumb & Dumber' When Lloyd asks Harry if he wnts to hear the most annoying sound on earth? That's Lead Pipe.

However, he is amazingly good AND entertaining.

As for the last guy? Well, mixing in an occasional winner wouldn't hurt.

Come on. He gave you at least 3 winners in 4 weeks. It is up to you to pick the ones he is correct on.

Shit. My fault then. I had no idea it was like one of those motorcycle give-aways where you had to sort through a bunch of keys to find the one that worked.



But where else can you get analysis this descriptive ahead of the actual pick:

The BYU Cougars travel to Sin City for a night game against the UNLV Running Rebels. And while Mormon quarterback Max Hall would certainly be uncomfortable behind the ropes at a glitzy Vegas strip joint, he’ll be at ease behind his massive offensive line Saturday night in Sam Boyd Stadium.

My favorite, from Week 1:

Notre Dame (-2.5) over Georgia Tech
We could talk a whole bunch about how Notre Dame has lost Brady Quinn and only has 8 returning starters. However, they are a well coached football team opening up at home and facing a team they beat on the road a season ago. Georgia Tech is breaking in a new quarterback and new offensive coordinator. That makes for a rough start in the opening game. When you add in the fact that the game is being played in South Bend, you have an uphill battle. This will be a hard fought game but I like Notre Dame in this one.

The prognosticator lives life on a thin line Pup. Losing by a hook comes with the territory. The guy just missed on this one. 66 hooks puts him right there.
