Philip Hogan, an Rx content provider, suggested the best way to go Sunday night was Denver and the Under. Uh-huh.
Wild Bill (who often provides worthwhile content, given the pressures of that trade) thought the best wager in the Mich/OSU game was the Under.
Content providers (before the advent of the Net they were called columnists) get into handicapping current games because they run out of compelling things to write about. An ariticle is written and content provided, usually not because the writer has much to say, but because he or she is under contract to provide copy. Fill up the empty space.
Same thing for print columnists, whether they be pontificating on sports, finance, politics, entertainment. Entertainers who are under content to do x number of movies a year, or x number of albums, will usuallly strike out as well most of the time, as the only need for their stuff is that they are under contract and they need the money.
Wherein derives the folk truism that "95% of everything is shit."
Which is why the Forum is generally more interesting than the commercial content. The posters, most of them, are not professional scribes, but in speaking from genuine anger, concern, outrage, wonderment and the like, the material is usually more engaging than something static that was produced because it was called for by contract.
