As a longtime loyalist of Phil Steele and Northcoast (particularly of Power Sweep), I am sad to say today that I have had enough. In 10 years of reading his Power Sweep Newsletter, I have never read what I read this week in the latest newsletter:
First, the fact he now has his "own" plays and Northcoast plays is completely idiotic. The fact that an entire company cant come up with their best 6-7 plays on a Saturday after doing it for 26 years is just ridiculous. WTF is that about. Northcoast is quickly becoming a BIG JOKE.
I know Phil is a business man and a great marketer, however, I saw something posted in his newsletter that I have never seen before....a new spin on his horrible picks as of the last few years.
Saturday was an 11-3 day!!!!6 points away from a 15-0 Saturday!!!
Let me begin by saying that his late phones were either 3-3-1 or 4-2-1 depending on where you got the line at. That must've meant he went 8-0 on his top opinions. The problem is, I have never heard of him talking about his top opinions in September!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Never, never, never, have I seen this before in the past 10 years.....him throwing these top opinion records in with the late phone records. What a clown he is becoming. He'll mention top opinons on the bowl games but never in September. The fact he lumped 1 unit plays in with his late phone plays is a travesty! I've respected him so much until this year. He has really sucked picking games the last three seasons, and now he has two sets of plays "HIS" and NC'S. I also think he has really gotten too close to some of the off shore books in my opinion.
Oh ya, one final thing, his record on those coveted big 5* plays over the last three seasons is......................6 - 7 (46%) !!!!!! I started capping my own games a few years ago with much success and I would always hit his 5*'s hard. However, on his last few 5*'s, I disagreed yet still played them thinking he knew something I was overlooking. This past weekend he had a 5* on Arkansas (his most improved team of 06...the same team that is now 0-4 vs the number). I had Alabama ranked as one of my top 3 plays of the day.......It took nuts to fade him but that is exactly what I did and thank goodness I did!!!
