After the months of SpyGate, I was just a tad bitter that the Patriots were advancing with their “perfect game” status, and it’s fair to say I wished them to be humbled just a bit. Last week the already injured Chargers smoked my Colts whilst incurring more than a few more injuries to boot.
The Chargers then advanced on to play the Pats and I was really hoping that they’d be able to pull just one more trick out of their hat.
That being said, here’s how it went down…
Some guy on the net:
$5.00 bucks???
I got Pats!!!
What do you say!!!
I take checks. Hope you do???
Me;
Nope.
Some guy on the net;
Come on. Five Bucks???
Me;
It's not that I wouldn't take that bet (a sucker bet, mind you)...
I'm just not giving out my address to anybody for any ca$hola.
Some guy on the net;
OK I can understand that!!!
So let's bet five bragging rights on this site.
If I win I can say, I beat you:Five times. And only five times.
If you win you can do the same!!!
If you win you can say, I beat *some guy on the net*.
Five times. And only five times.
Bet??
Me;
You want a bet??I'll give you a bet!!
If the Chargers win, then you may NOT post at this forum until Feb 20th!
Roughly ONE MONTH from game day.
If your Pats win, likewise for me.
No posting until Feb 20th.
How about THAT?!
You've got to ask yourself one question: "Do you feel lucky?Well...do ya, punk ????
Some guy on the net:
Yup!!!We will miss you.
Me;
Deal.
Some guy on the net:
I will miss your posts for a month. Great bet!!!
Me;
Rules:Game day - posting is allowed until midnight (each poster's time zone).
After that, no more posting from the loser until the 20th of next month
(any time of the day is fine.)Agreeable?
Some guy on the net:
Sure!!!
Me: Game on!
Well, that one bit me in the butt, huh? :p

Sorry to hear that - a true friend would allow that bet to slide .
Nah... it's OK. I'll take my medicine like a big girl!
And of course I'll be reading along and keeping copious notes and break my silence with a humdinger of a post!
Ha! Their loss (for a month). Make em wonder - wait 31 days -then let 'er rip!
Oh man, tough bet. You should have made him take a month and you two weeks. Odds are the least thing he could do.
I just can't believe that in last week’s game, an over-exuberant pat on the back of an opponent got an enormous penalty for "unsportsmanlike conduct"... and yet all the antics of SpyGate will advance you to the Super Bowl. How whacked is that?! I'd say "outright cheating" is a tad unsportsmanlike!
I thought this might be appropriate for the occasion. :)

They're having fun picking on you over there!
Oh, good grief!
Sheesh!
Gaaack!
In a word... RFC REALLY SUCKS without you.... In other news, I finally settled on a vintage/retro Redfield scope for my CZ 452... Now all I need is a day off to mount it and bore sight it. This job SUCKS!
Miss you
Tim
Don't worry Annie! You're missed even by your detractors!
BTW, the wife is a Pats fan by birth 'cause her family is from Boston. I'm routing for the Giants because I love the underdog and, well, the Colts are out! So we're gonna put a blue stripe down the middle of the living room and enjoy the Big Bowl Game!
Personally I think hating a NFL team because of a rules infraction is like hating Pro Wrestling because it might be a little bit staged! It's entertainment, Baby! Take it at that and enjoy the games!
Would have been pretty easy to sign up for pay-pal. (send and receive)
It just hit me. Is there such a thing as grief that's good?
Hey, if Charlie Brown says it, it's good enough for me!
