By now, you all know I am a football freak. Love it, Love it, Love it.
One of the things I love best about it is being a fan. I love rooting for my team, the arguments, the trash talking, the bets. Ahhh, yes.
I'm really enjoying the playoffs this year, since my Bucs aren't in the running I'm able to watch, cheer and trash talk to my hearts content. So I made a few predictions last week, just who I thought would win in the WildCards. Indy bet the hell out of Denver: Tammi's right. St. Louis over Seattle - right again. Sgt. Hook dropped by and let me know how wrong I was going to be regarding the Jets and San Diego - HE was right, but damn, what a great game.
When it came to Green Bay vs. the Vikings I called the Vikings. Everyone thought I had lost my mind. (it was a mistake, btw). My beloved BlogPappy challenged me.
Here's pretty much how the converstation went (via comments in this post)
I'll take some action on that Green Bay game. Name some stakes...

OK Harv - you're on. Hmmmmm let me see.......stakes.......
Straight up - no points, Minn over GB.
I've put on too much weight so, just in case, no belly shots.......but I like the idea of a compromising photo.......
GB Wins - I have to post a photo of me wearing GB gear, but it's gotta be "interesting"
Minn Wins - You have to post a photo of YOU wearing Minn gear, but it's gotta be "interesting".
I think, knowing us, that we can trust each other to make sure the photo is interesting - don't ya think?
Any better ideas????????

Tammi - I like it. You're on.
Although I may have to improvise on the Vikings gear a bit, since I have none around the house. God forbid the necessity of it but perhaps I can acquire something out of a dumpster somewhere.

In case you didn't know.....The Vikings Won!!! Which means.....Tammi Won!!!!
So, why am I rambling on and on about old news? Why am I rehashing all this for you this morning?
A couple reasons, really. 1) Because I can. 2) I won.
I won, which means that Harvey had to "Post a picture of himself, in Vikings gear, and make it INTERESTING!" And with Harvey, that means no holds barred!
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is My Pleasure to direct you to Havey's Bad Example..........Wild Card Payoffs!!!!
I Love Football!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Harvey at January 13, 2005 08:07 AMIt's damned tempting to just leave this at the top of the page until SuperBowl. Hee Hee
I'm a very gracious loser, but not such a good winner...nope, not at all. My name should probably be The Gloating Road Warrior!! ;p
