A Decade of Andy Reid

[ice grillin you]

for the dummies out there...ask your self how much you would pay for your favorite team to win a game or a series or a championship...whatever number you come up with place that amount on the opponent...and think of it as youre paying for your favorite team to win...ive never ever bet on one of my teams where i was not rooting 100% for me to lose the bet

Money doesn't buy championships. Passion does, of which you have none, apparently.

As a fan you ride the highs and lows of the wins and losses, you dont set yourself up to snuggle with a security blanket in preparation of a loss. Betting against the team you root for is exactly why you are not taken seriously by almost everyone on this board.

You can be a sports fan, who likes to place bets on any and every game, just to give you interest in the league/event/game/player...whatever. Nothing wrong with that.

Or you can live and die with a team you root for, and follow them through a season in hopes to finally seeing them lift that trophy in front of you.

As much as you have convinced yourself that you can do both, you can't.

Be indignant about it all you want, but at least admit that you see the reasoning behind it.

Ive done it before...It doesnt so much ease the pain after a loss as it does give me extra beer money - so I can ease the pain after a loss.

Either way, I get it.

Jeff Lurie: "wow, we're in a real bind, nobody wants this job, we might have to scrape the bottom of the barrel and hire this jew kid that goes to Temple"

We all know how much Lurie hates hiring the jews, right?

thank you

it does nothing for the pain...in fact you dont even think about the money win or lose

[Rome]

no im not a weirdo fan whos dream job is to work for his favorite team...i just want them to win a superbowl

You're officially out of my will because of your latest revelation.

It's called hedging your bets. And as a Philly fan I understand it 100% even if I don't condone it. You can make yourself a lot of money betting agaisnt philly and it can be seen as win win. If they win, you paid a little extra money but you're happy they won. If they lose you get some money to ease the frustration. I can't do it, but it isn't that hard to understand.

I understand it perfectly.  I can't be any clearer about my utter disgust for it, though.   I mean, I can try, but. . .

[Wingspan]

I understand it too.

I just love how the self proclaimed heartbeat of the philadelphia sports fan tries to justify it.
