Mike Florio At PFT Brags About Losing People Money, Gets Roasted On Twitter

Let's start with this: I am not an expert gambler. Do I enjoy picking football games, even if I'm wrong some -- eh, let's be honest, most -- of the time? Absolutely, it's fun and keeps me engaged.

There's an art to breaking down film and having a take on how you believe a game will shake out, but it's a completely different ballgame trying to pick against the spread. As much as I enjoy the attempt, I am also not going to brag about my ability as a picker.

Why? Well, my guess is the record wouldn't be good enough to brag about -- if I actually tallied it all up.

Neither is Mike Florio's record against the spread, but we take different approaches to how we address that. I acknowledge that you don't need to bet the milk money with my picks. If you do, that's on you. I could maybe support fading my picks, but that would be the extent.

Florio, on the other hand, tweets that "anyone who relied on those picks definitely got their money's worth." That would be fine, as long as it was true. But based off the record Florio gave us in the same tweet, it's ... not. Check it out for yourself.












See, here is where I have to take a step back. It's Twitter, and there is no such thing as a sarcasm font *Why is there no sarcasm font? I couldn't tell you, but speaking from an enormous amount of experience, we sure could use it.* Anyway, that is beside the point.

The point is that I can't tell if Florio is being serious here. It's entirely possible, as the error in being serious should be obvious. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say it was a missed attempt at humor ... maybe.

Let's just say others are Twitter are not as lenient.

























Zach is wrong in that last tweet, though. Legalized gambling is going to do exactly what it was intended to do.
