I wanted to take a minute to apologize to my good friend Johnnymo. Earlier today there was some confusion in my WVU-Alabama thread /pregame-forums/f/12/t/950889.aspx?pi10417=4 . In that thread Johnnymo was interacting with one of my haters in a way that made it seem like he was endorsing his behavior. I got upset and let Johnnymo know how I felt. HOWEVER it was brought to my attention that the conversation between the two was a continuation of a conversation started in another thread. Having now seen the original conversation it is clear Johnnymo did not betray me at all.
The reason I originally became so sad and upset is because Johnnymo and I have been really good friends for a long time. I helped him pick out a cell phone and of course there is the most legendary date in Pregame history, June 8th, 2013, when we both independently picked Palace Malice to win the Belmont. A lot of people in the forums made a lot of money that day when they saw a top horse racing expert (Johnnymo) and myself, a sharp capper with close to no experience betting horses (which meant I had a fresh perspective and no preconceived biases), land on the same horse. A horse that paid 15 to 1!
So I am sorry Johnnymo. I am sorry I didn't give you the benefit of the doubt. I hope you realize though that the only reason I became upset is because I truly value our friendship.
