Why PSG vs. Dortmund is expected to be a high-scoring match: Champions League Corner Picks, top soccer bets, odds, predictions

Reading Time: < 1 minute

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was the king of Corinth, but he was punished by Zeus and forced to push a boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down when he neared the top. Sisyphus had to do this for eternity. Why? I don’t totally remember.

Honestly, I haven’t read up on Greek mythology lately, and even if I had, Zeus and the Greek gods were the original Real Housewives. Basically, they were a group of functional alcoholics getting mad at people for reasons they probably didn’t fully understand, only instead of throwing a wine glass at them, they came up with sadistic punishments.

Anyway, the point is that Sisyphus had to push this boulder up the hill for eternity, knowing that it would roll back down and he’d have to do it again. I wonder if he began to root for the boulder at any point during this punishment.

I am rooting for the boulder. If you’ve followed Corner Picks this season, you know what a debacle my Champions League picks have been. I feel as if any pick I get correct was sheer luck, and now that there’s no real hope of getting back on the positive side of the ledger, I’m taking pleasure in seeing how terrible of a record I can finish the year with.

As for how you should approach my picks knowing that, don’t worry. I’m not changing anything about the approach. I’ve told you recently that fading my picks is the best option, and I stand by it.

Let’s all root for the boulder together. If we enjoy the punishment, it’s no longer a punishment, is it?
