Somehow I forgot to mention before now that over the weekend I got a call from a slimebag from Root's service(obviously my phone number was given to him by someone else or caller id, etc);these scumbags have no scruples about bothering people at home.
Anyway the scumbag started off by being phony polite and asking how I was doing today and then asking whether I was the sportsfan of the household.
I figured I would play along with him for a minute or so and asked him what I "could do for him."
He then asked how I was doing in football, amd I said great.
Naturally, he said that was nice BUT that Wayne has some big games going over the weekend, and that I could do even better.
Rather than just tell him that I was not interested and that Root sucks, I decided to play the game a little longer and asked him, "Why would I want to play when I can get all of Root's picks for nothing on a number of sites on the internet."
The guy then became defensive and told me that you can't believe everything you read and see on the internet, and that picks could be wrong.
I then said "Well you got the first part right about not believing everything you read and see on the internet and in this case the lies stated by Root not only about his records but regarding his company."
I told him to tell Root that if doesn't know already, he is laughed at and despised by the overwhelming number of folks in the sports forums."
I then promptly hung up, and that was it.
ps the salesman sounded desperate to make a sale, and I almost felt sorry for him.
