The final week wasn't any different than the first 16. The 4-year-old did enough to hold us off, which really means he picked as many winners as losers. JDaddy and I were terrible. It's funny how you can look at a list of games and think you know for sure who's going to win, but when it is all said and done, you weren't even close.
Last Week
JDaddy: 5-10-1
CDog: 5-10-1
4-Year-Old: 7-8-1
Overall
JDaddy: 116-130-10
CDog: 117-129-10
4-Year-Old: 121-125-10
What did we learn? Well we learned that when someone just randomly picks games for an entire season, they do finish right about where you expect them to finish--right at .500. We also learned that the so-called "experts" in this competition need to keep their gambling money in their pockets.
Congratulations to the kid. I still dominate him in Mario Kart.

Week 17 NFL Picks - Experts vs. a 4-Year-Old
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. It all comes down to this. The four-year-old went .500 last week, but as per usual (I don't know if 'per' is used correctly there, but I like using that word) 8-8 is plenty good enough to pull ahead of the pack in the Cheap Seats Pick 'Em Derby. As we come down this final stretch, the preschooler has a 1 game lead, but with JDaddy just 3 games out, anyone can win.
And for anyone concerned about how these things are picked, I make my selections before letting the kid make his selections. And since he can't read yet, he has no idea who I selected.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and enjoy your weekend. Hopefully early next week the final results will be posted.
Happy New Year!

Week 16 NFL Picks - Experts vs. a Four-Year-Old
I hate to be the bearer of bad news for those of you rooting for the kid, but the wheels are starting to shake a little bit. There is now a tie atop the leaderboard. Granted, the leaderboard resembles the AFC West (without the Tebow-ing) but a winner is a winner. And right now, there are two of us tied for the lead.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. I'll wish you a happy new year next week.

Week 15 NFL Picks - Experts vs. a 4-Year-Old
After 14 weeks, the kid is right where you would expect him to be, .500. When someone is picking virtually at random, he should win as much as he loses and that is exactly the case. The problem is that JDaddy and I are having trouble catching up. We made up a game last week, but with three weeks to go, we're three games down. If the 4-year-old has one more good week in him, he could just about turn off the lights.
Fortunately, ESPN gives us a great Monday Night game this week with the Steelers at 49ers. Those poor guys had to make St. Louis and Seattle look good last week.
Anyway, here is how we stand after 14 weeks.

Ryan Braun...The More Things Change....The More Things Stay The Same
With the news today that Milwaukee outfileder and N.L. MVP Ryan Braun tested positive for P.E.D.s , we at JDadduDu demand that if these charges are proven true the MVP award be given to Matt Kemp of the LA Dodgers.
The award should have been Kemp's all along as he put together the best season no one knew about. In addition, he was awarded the prestigious "Batsman of the Year" award from JDaddyDu.
As is always the case, Braun has said there must be some mistake in the testing, but as we know, that's what they all say. Maybe he "mis-remembered".
But nothing should surprise us any more. In our article of October 9th, we profiled the Brewers as a team that reminded us of "Curly Joe" of the "Three Stooges". The misfit who never fit in. But we gave Braun a pass....... Shame on us. He fits right in with the rest of them.
Braun has been one of those who seemed above it all.
Baseball should know better. We should know better. When will we ever learn?
