Greg Waddell:
The first thing in the Sleepers Media original Twitter bio was one sentence:
“Three is better than two”
We meant it as in: take the three pointer. It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but we are a perimeter-oriented podcast. I avoid contact in the paint like my wife avoids apples that she claims she’s allergic to, and Carter thinks he’s Kyle Korver when he’s really Big Baby Davis.
Another fun Sleepers fact: did you know that we originally had three members?
Myself, Carter and one of my best friends Ben. Ben was supposed to play moderator while Carter and I did the whole Carter and I thing. Turns out Ben was destined for a high-paying sales job in Chicago and not podcasting 5 days a week to tens of listeners.
So if three is truly better than two…did Cart and I get shortchanged here? Are we the losers of this whole ordeal?
What if the founding principle of Sleepers was a lie? What if two is sometimes better than three? Some evidence:
This man brought myrrh! His boys showed up to the function with GOLD and FRANKINCENSE and homie said “you know what, I got just the thing….MYRRH”
You know how quickly you would be kicked out of my birthday party if you made me un-wrap myrrh?
The point is this…three is NOT always better than two. Sometimes two is better than three. Sometimes you should just take the layup. Sometimes four is better than one. Sometimes one is better than four. Math is hard.
But 5-0 is always better than 0-5. I said I’d give my A-game this week and I meant it. Onto the fuggin picks.
Records:
ATS picks: Greg (18-17-1), Cart (13-13-1)
note - 3-2 for Greg last week, 2-3 for Carter…BUT IS 3 BETTER THAN 2 OR IS 2 BETTER THAN 3 NO-ONE KNOWS!!!! 2-4 for Greg’s Dad so he will not be returning this week, but while Greg just told Greg’s Dad that, Greg’s Mom said “I think I need to be doing this instead of you guys” so now she gets a paragraph of her own
