RE: Winless Watch: Week 3
I too had been withholding comments on her blogs, but I couldn't hold back today.

The beautiful thing about picking percentages is that outside of her picks of 100% she's not picking winners or losers. So no matter who wins she can just say that she only said such and such had a certain percentage of winning. And beyond that even some of her "100%" picks she's leaving herself room. She gave SJSU a 100% chance but then left herself room saying they "should be able to handle a FCS team, should being the operative term". On a personal note, as a Middle Tennessee alumni, I don't see how she gives Memphis an 80% chance of winning but then says an upset would not be out of the realm of possibility. If she gives them a 80% chance of pulling the upset, than she's saying the upset is likely to happen...

Ms Adelson, I know you've had a fair share of critical fan responses so far, so I don't want to pile on and I don't have a problem with anything that you wrote, just your concept for this article. Either make picks or don't, this percentage stuff is pretty weak.
