Before you make your winning picks, we need to have a quick chat.
Each year I am bombarded with people sending me emails that go something like this: “hey, I didn’t receive confirmation of my picks” or “can you tell me who I picked?” or “I am a Nigerian prince, and I need your help laundering several million dollars.”
If you’re a Nigerian prince, just know that I’m not interested (fool me twice, ammiright?). For everyone else: MANY EMAILS GO TO SPAM. If you follow these directions carefully and submit your picks when instructed to do so, you will see a page that says, “SUCCESS”. That means we’ve received your picks. You should then receive an email confirmation from [email protected] with those picks, however, if you do not receive confirmation of your picks within a day, please check your spam/junk folders first (it would also be helpful if you add [email protected] and [email protected] to your safe sender list). If you still do not see confirmation of your picks, email [email protected]. (Please only do this if it’s an emergency, and you’re SURE you followed the instructions correctly. There are thousands of people who enter, and I do have a real job, so please help me out and read everything. It also helps to take a screenshot of your team picks before you submit them. JUST REMEMBER TO SUBMIT THEM.)
Thank you. We may now proceed with our regularly scheduled programming…
