Concerning Football...

Dear Friends,

I was going to write a long rant about how I lament Football today. But that would be pointless. All I'm going to say is that I think football pools are essentially telling your friends that you're smarter than them and then TAKING THEIR MONEY! If you want to really support a franchise (which is all a team is) buy stock and root (advertise) for a company, at least you'll get returns if they 'win'.

Frugally,
Phill

when i worked in a restaurant, i twice participated in a football pool and watched other people make $70 after i contributed a few bucks i could hardly afford anyway. i don't think even stock could save my shoddy luck with gambling.
