Hello one and all, I've been in contact with Jack and the J-bird is ready to rock'n roll and bring back the chubb-in to the best site on the net. "MADJACK'S". I would however like to take a minute and address a few thing's.

I left last Sunday because a few statements were made in a couple of my threads that were personal attacks. I don't have a problem with anyone debating a selection,or a theory I have,but namecalling and cursing at me is another thing altogether.I'm glad to see that it's coming to a halt here at Madjack's. It get's in the way of the solid handicapping that goes on here.

Having said that allow me to give a brief description of my take and analysis on the plays I give here. I'm not a trend and stat capper per say. I watch most every game on tv each week.I do have the help of a few buddies that help me record the games I don't watch. I watch and analyze the way both lines play,watch blocking scheme's,watch the way team's blitz,see which back's know how to pick up a blitz,see who the QB's are that make good decision's when the heat's on,cornerback-wide reciever match-up's ect,ect,ect.That play's the biggest factor in my capping.Some guy's are fantastic trend and stat guy's,Nolan Dalla for one.When I come down on a game based on my alalysis and Nolan like's the same game.(understand we are looking at multiple angles now) It is Hammertime.That's not to say I don't look at stats and Nolan doesn't watch game's but I hope you get my point.That's the biggest reason for the sucess I've had through the years,"You find people's stong suit and then you make your play's based on that.Trust me,it does work.You can have sucess at this game if you know how to take advantage of your information.

I like to address a couple of the specific comment's made when I left. I was trying to make the point in as subtle a way possible that I felt the NFL wanted San Francisco out of the play-off's. After the fiasco at the end of the N Y Giant game the week before,the last thing the NFL wanted was the most powerful media voice in America (New YorK) hammering away at how the Giant's got screwed and as long as San Fransisco was in there,the story wasn't going away.Isn't it funny now that the 49'ers are eliminated,that you don't even hear it mentioned.Do I believe that thing's like that factor into the flag's thrown or not thrown in a game.YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT. My point was to not put any value in the game whatsoever. I still don't believe you should.I know some of you think the Buc's DOMINATED the game,well your entitled to your opinion,but the number's just don't show it.The number's show 100 yards difference in the two team's.If you factor in the yardage lost by San Fran on the sack's it's under 70. Hardly domination.Combine that with the fact that the bulk of San Fran's offense was in the FIRST HALF,not in the second when my detractor's will say"Well Tampa was in a prevent defense".As I said earlier "I watch game's".The way the official's allowed the Buc's to play on the offensive and defensive line's in my opinion was pathetic.They gave Brad Johnson enough time to have a cup of coffee in the backfield the whole first half.I could have stood back there and completed those passes.Especially when 2 defensive back's are out of the game early with injuries.Now that's my take,you cap it the way you chose.But I'm not going to allow emotion's or non-fact's to
change my power rating's on a team.

Someone said they were angry because I said you were "lucky" if you had the winner.Well I stand by that.I think your lucky ANYTIME you win.I consider myself "VERY LUCKY" everytime I win.
I did lose my cool in a thread one day,when I had Iowa St. vs. Boise St. I lost my cool because some of the people who were "LUCKY" enough to have the winner that day were trying to justify the fact that the coach ran up the score.To cover the spread with seconds left on the clock.I still can't believe that anyone would try to make that arguement.But someone did,and still does I guess,because they decided to hammer away at me last week.

As for my record here,Yes, I'll brag, and anyone who had had the kind of sucess I have had is entitled to.Do I think I'm the only one who can cap games here?Quite the contrary.I have alot of resect for several capper's here. Nolan,Volfan,Wizzard,G Money,Time to make Money,Gibber 1,Hellah, just to name a few.There are other's.As far as me needing sympathy as someone said or a tea party in my honor.I don't think so.You can use my play's or you can fade me,that's your choice.But I recommend you choose wisely.

I saved the best for last,One person noted that I was a youngster who had a good 8 weeks and would be starting a tout service.Well,I think that person is selling me a little short on my time.Secondly,I'm no youngster.I'm 41 years old . My father was a Bookie.I was answering the phone taking bet's when I was just a kid.I'm no rookie my friend,I been around a long time.I've been on both ends of that phone brother and I've seen the sharp's and the sucker's.You can take that to the bank.You say I'll start a tout service.Well just put up some odds on that.I want all your worth on it.And to all you Madjackers that is MY LOCK of the century.Get down on that as soon as possible.I will NEVER sell a game.I'm a handicapper.A good one. I have no desire to scream and holler on tv,or phone line.I can't imagine what it would be like to try and recruit sucker's all day to pay for games that He probably didn't cap anyway.It is a different animal.

To the guy's that showed me some love,I appreciate it.I'm proud to be your friend.I will make you one promise.If I see anyone crapping in a good capper's thread.I'm going to call them on it.I think the good guy's around here should stick up for each other.When i first got here there were a few who made joke's at my play's and said they were going to fade me,well I shut them up pretty quick.It does seem like new one's show up and start in on someone for no reason.I wish we could stick together and make some money,and look out for each other.

Now I'm getting ready to get my CHUBB-ON :jump: :spotting: :jump:

lol, I said I could be wrong in my response if I remember right. ;) Seen the same schtick on these boards many times, and it seemed very familiar. GL on your picks, just grow a mite thicker of a skin.

Hey MJ Bird,
welcome back, in all honesty I never noticed you had left as I generally stay in the general thread. I figure it this way, if I am going to wager my money on anything I want to be able to make the decision on my own. I used to post in the hockey forum and enjoyed the daily contest etc.... However, the grandiose way you state your reintroduction to the forum reeks of bravado, braggadocio, and somewhat arrogant pretension.
Thanks for letting me know you are back.
Thanks for letting me know how you cap the games I never look at.
Thanks for letting me know that in your 400 and something posts you have gone on a win streak and done well for yourself.
You know its funny just when I thought that all the really great cappers were humble and thankful, you have let me know that there is space in the elite for the common braggart.
My point is this, true cappers that only do it for the love of the game and the intrigue of cash or whatever, don't need their egos stroked, or make august entries into the forum.
Being 41 years old I would have figured that you proofread your post and would have come off a little less pretentious.

But hey ...welcome back and good luck to you, I suppose I will talk to you again when somebody throws another mean spirited remark your way, or pollutes your thread with something you don't like and then you can profess to never come back again. Only to come back three days later with a long letter on how good you are and how thankful we should all be for your presence. Then you can tell me the deep sercret formula you use to pick out the Christmas Ham, or how you select a winner in the luge. Both of which I will read with equal fervor to all the other posts of yours I have never looked at.

Also its...etc., etc., etc., not ect, ect, ect,... gone yet?
Look forward to your posts in the football thread. Good luck on the upcoming seasons.

Well it's so nice to meet you fatdaddycool!!! Thanks for taking the time to write me a detailed note of namecalling and slander. I'm surprised that out of my 8 paragraph post,you choose to blast me for a couple of sentences I made about my capping ability.I guess you had your blinders on when I also named several other's that I thought were great,and said there were many more.You also admit you didn't read any of my post before this one.So I'm assumeing you you are unaware of all the name calling and bullcrap that went on (and thanks to guys like you)is still going on.I state in my post "I'm a capper,a good one".in response to being called a TOUT and that I would starting a pay service. My introduction back was not meant to come across as arrogant ,it was to serve notice that I was not going to allow guy's like you to run me off,with your crap.I also want to apologise for my error in typing ect,as opposed to etc. that you so kindly pointed out. It's nice to know that people can pay that kind of attention to detail,but fail to read any of the rest of a 8 paragraph post.And to answer your question,no I won't be sharing with the group my recommendation's on the Christmas ham,or giving out any play's in the upcoming luge.But since you never look at any of my post ,you wouldn't get them if I did. Find someone else to be your dartboard dude.

By the way,are you interested in posting any play's you may have for the weekend? I'd love to look at them.

MJB,
I wasn't aware that I did any name calling. NOr do I believe I slandered you in any way. Make no mistake my friend I am not trying to run you off or anything of the sort, I simply stated that your opinion of yourself and self proclaimed abilities are evident and somewhat pretentious in the way you stated them. You also stated that I chose to focus on only a couple of sentences in an 8 paragraph effigy. Let us review
That's the biggest reason for the sucess I've had through the years,"You find people's stong suit and then you make your play's based on that.Trust me,it does work.You can have sucess at this game if you know how to take advantage of your information.

I'm a handicapper.A good one.
To the guy's that showed me some love,I appreciate it.I'm proud to be your friend.I will make you one promise.If I see anyone crapping in a good capper's thread.I'm going to call them on it.I think the good guy's around here should stick up for each other.When i first got here there were a few who made joke's at my play's and said they were going to fade me,well I shut them up pretty quick.It does seem like new one's show up and start in on someone for no reason.I wish we could stick together and make some money,and look out for each other.
Now I am no expert, but the underlying tone in all of the above "few" or "couple" of sentences is how good you are along with a few others, and that all you "Good" guys need to stick together as if without the advice of those chosen few, to include yourself, the rest of us mudders will certainly fall to the wayside.
Look MJ, I mean you no harm and could care less if you think you are a good capper or I am a bad one. That is not my goal. My point is this. You have about 490 posts if I remember right, correct?
TTM$$$ has roughly 9000, others in here have many also. I think we can find all the good cappers we want to without the introduction at the door. You know what I mean. If your back great, go post a winner. If you want some sort of recognition because your coming back.....well....sorry dude I didn't cheer for the guys that poured the slab for my house when they showed up the second day, you follow me. I'm not going to cheer for the mailman either.
You want people to "show you love" because you picked a winner of a few football games. Good God man, give me a break. Your post is egotistical and it put me off somewhat. I do not, however, wish you any ill will but I would certainly select my words better when I was going to make my "grand reappearance". Hell I have been gone for awhile also. I see no need to make an announcement, but hey if I my ego stroked I will sign you on as my speech writer.
Good Fortune to you MJB

Glad to have you back. Something about a 41-year-old talking about his chubb gives me hope. Just remember people say alot of stuff that they wouldn't say face-to-face due to the fact that their behind a computer screen. I'm as guilty as anyone. Bottomline, it's all about helping everyone beat the man and you pick out some things in games that I sometimes miss so I look forward to your posts.

And FDC, Good to see you back as well. Get your butt back in the gambling forums because we can use your help to. I know I could. Hope all is well.
