    Default Challenge to Jim regarding Eagles vs Steelers

    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.

    Did BD just accept for Jim? I don't think that's how it works.

    The Eagles suck. Just saying. Can't wait for the usual implosion

    They just checked with the line judge and the ruling came back that yes, BD can accept for Jim! I love that line judge. Looking forward to the delivery!

    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.

    Oh yeah, they are 7-0 right now. Dallas is 6-2 and the Giants are 6-2. All of the fans of those teams think "this is our year". No it's not. It will just hurt more this time around thinking you have a chance that much more.

    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.

    Come to Las Vegas and play high limit blackjack. You can drink Macallan 18 and Johnnie walker blue for free.
