Hey @jimnyc ! Eagles and Steelers are playing against each other tomorrow. How about we make it interesting? I buy you a bottle of Fireball if the Steelers win, you buy me a bottle of Scotch if the Eagles win. What say you?

Macallan 18! I love the way you think!
In return, if the Eagles lose I will get Jim a Fireball 18.

I love the way you can say anything at all, just so long as it is immediately followed by "Just saying".
Fred: "Hey Ralph! Your mother is a bleepety-bleep!"
Ralph: "What the hell! I gonna tear you limb from limb..."
Fred: "Just saying!"
Ralph: "Oh, never mind... um, good one Fred!"

There's a thread of the very same title
I have learned over the years that one is defined more by one's enemies than one (alleged) friends. Back in the day when I was a die-hard NFL and Steelers fan, I got stationed around a MSgt who was a Washington Deadskins fan who immediately assumed I was a Cowboys fan and started talking smack.
Even though I wasn't much of a Cowboys fan at that time, I STILL hated the Beagles and Deadskins "just because". I don't even like nor watch the NFL anymore and I STILL hate them.
Just sayin'

Interesting. Considering the game is already over by the time I saw this post! ....
BUT, I'll be an honest man. Had I seen it yesterday or earlier today, and even knowing the Eagles were 6-0 going and the Steelers 2-4... I'm a gambling man and ever hopeful about my Steelers, even when the have a shitty year! So I would have taken you up on this bet!! So, since that's the case, I will honor my bet/loss!
But Black Diamond can eat a sock with his choices! LOL Damn bottles anywhere from like $149 up to like $600!! In trade off for a dang Fireball bottle! I like the way he thinks too though, deviously and trying to rip someone off!
If I won this would have been my choice:
Now we need an excuse to all get together to pay my debt and all get hammered and listen to some Billy Idol.

Jim, I in no way expect you to pay for a bottle of Macallan 18 for me. You didn't see this thread before the game. Gunny, on the other hand, did see this thread before the game. I might need a ruling from Scotch Commission on whether or not Gunny needs to pony up for a magnum of Macallan 18. I will get back to everyone on their response...

FTR: I would never bet on a football game. The year Dallas was 1-13 there was that one (at RFK ).
Back in the day when I imbibed in such, I had occasion to have a bottle of Glenmorangie 18 a time or three. Matter of fact, the day I got promoted to Gunny I carried one around the whole day
Nothing the NFL could possibly offer is worth a good single malt.

Hell with that, you guys drinking all that expensive fancy schmanchy shit. I'm a cheap date with fireball.
