I thought my Ocean City team had Arnold but now found out he&#8217;s not going. So fuck the Butchers.

Is there like a three-point wins line that I don&#8217;t know about? I know everything about BTSH I thought. Fuck the Rainbows. Damn Sexy Bernstein is good but the Sky Fighters win 4-1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Gut Rot at Fresh Kills<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t believe in miracles.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as a miracle.\u00a0 If there were, then I probably wouldn\u2019t be an atheist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sam Prediction:\u00a0 Sorry Gut Rot, I think you have a 5% chance of winning, so that likely nets out to about a 6-1 game in favor of Fresh Kills, maybe 3-1 if Eric has another great game.<\/p>\n<p>Rich\u2019s Prediction:<br \/>Have you not followed Facebook Sam? Eric isn&#8217;t playing. Dave fake Gil Rubio is playing net. No offense Dave, I was picking Fresh Kills 7-0 with Eric in net. So because I like you I&#8217;ll make it 6-0. I&#8217;m an Atheist too. So is Friedman but I don&#8217;t want to make that public.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mega Touch at Instant Karma<\/p>\n<p>Mega took a win last week while Karma took a stomping!\u00a0 What happens when Mega has their mojo and Karma\u2019s sacrificial shawarma is not turning into wins?\u00a0 I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t even know if anything I just typed makes any sense.\u00a0 My boss keeps looking over to my computer to see what I\u2019m doing right now, so this preview needs to start looking like work because I&#8217;m getting nervous.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Click-through rates are not leading toward users converting on our client\u2019s site and should not be a proxy for user engagement, as much of our media is placed on mobile devices.\u00a0 Much of the high CTR is due to users fat-fingering ads on their mobile or tablet device, which is supported by extremely high bounce rates and very low time on site via Google Analytics. \u00a0This means that Karma may pull off a win, if they can get more traffic to their Instant Karma Facebook group.\u00a0 However, if users keep getting updates about something being edited in that group, and I cannot quickly tell what the edit was or the necessity of it, they will bounce to Mega\u2019s FB group.\u00a0 If this happens, user site engagement may sky rocket due to Alex EM\u2019s artwork, leading Mega to another W.<\/p>\n<p>Sam\u2019s Prediction: Alex EM\u2019s art is really cool\u2014the digitally optimistic Picasso, if you will.\u00a0 I trust you will.\u00a0 Mega 3-2 OT<\/p>\n<p>Rich\u2019s Prediction:<br \/>The 2010 champs come through with a much needed victory.
