The Fanex Analysis Draft kicks off soon, believe it or bleeping not! It kicks off the unofficial start to fantasy football season for me. And I like tearing apart the picks, who doesn’t love that! One of the schmoes that transcribes my columns for me shares a team with Chris Dolfi from Fantasysharks fame.

When the picks and analysis start popping up, I’ll update, but you can follow the actual picks here …And hey – what do you know, that Tony…bzzzt…Holm cat has a team too.

Surprisingly enough, To Kill a Mockingbird was actually about the most interesting part of  Atticus Finch’s life…What a coincidence

Skimming the Shark Tank, this is definitely my Thread of the Day… as for me, the guy has no class, but he’ll be in the HOF.

To answer all your questions/emails,etc…No, the Iron Man suit is not based on my body. The Iron Man suit is based on the imagination of Jack “The King” Kirby . Now, I did know Kirby and Stan “The Man” Lee back in the early 60s…IT is possible that my first chassis was used as a basis for Iron Man’s first suit of armor.

“Betbot, why a blog? Why now?”

“Betbot, where have you been?”

“Betbot, why did you only do 25 picks in your mock draft?”

Questions, questions, bleeping questions.

To answer the first, it felt like the right time. I decided that the world should not be without my wisdom just because it isn’t football season.

To answer the second, I have been relaxing, recuperating living life. I’m a robot, as long as I properly maintain myself, I am going to live forever. That’s almost as scary proposition as dying. Sometimes I need to take…bzt…time off to recollect and think about life. I spent the last 6 months in various ashrams throughout Asia Minor. I am an avowed Catholic, but I have learned much from the World’s great religions.

To answer the third, because that’s why. Actually we were testing some stuff with the blog and it wasn’t public yet, so I figured, why bleeping bother? The last 6 picks (tsk tsk tsk New England) went exactly the way the NFL Draft did. Even if I had the player taken earlier in my mock draft…like Kenny Phillips. Take my bleeping word for it.

I’m still feeling this whole blog thing out. We’ll see where I go with this. The only thing I can promise is that it’ll be 100% Betbot baby, one hundred bleeping percent!

A couple of items recently caught my eye on the news site The Onion. I love these guys, they know how to get to the meaty middle of issues.

TO is worried about character in the Cowboys locker room poor TO…

And have you ever caught yourself saying, “Say no to something Tiger. Say no to SOMETHING!!” He reminds me of Bill Cosby in the early 80s. Before the show with all the crazy sweaters. A breakout star who is one TV selling something or another too damn much. It’s unseemly Mr. Woods, it’s damn unseemly.
