Gekko, you sure have a lot of interest in someone's draft picks who you say are pretty weak. Just keep researching my drafts and perhaps you may learn something by the time the live, big money events come around...oh, wait, I forgot...you're all talk and no action when it comes to those. Never mind. Just stick with the $150 drafts, they're more your speed anyway.



In this photo: Gekko at last year's Main Event...for the last time.

That's ancient history now, Gekko. You're past your prime and on the decline. Guess that's why you're quitting while you're ahead.

For example, Cespedes in the third round?! What are you trying to prove? Better start hitting the books...

you must be awfully awfully good at this game, if you look at this line-up and see weakness...

Two or three sharks in a tank full of guppies hardly makes for a marquee competition to challenge the likes of "The Great Gekko". I meant no disrespect to the sharks.

The "reality", as you like to call it, was your team blew just a little less than mine. So if that's your version of what success has become for you at this stage of your career, it's pretty pathetic!
