PACKERS SWEEP THE VIKINGS FOR THE 2006-2007 SEASON.

Yo Medek! -Where's my 20 bucks son? Either way I figure I win based on the standard tiebreaker rules (I.E. Vikings getting swept this season). Holla at your boy!!!
see Medek's poor gambling strategy

Tie breaker my arse, my friend...

I still have a chance at a push.

Leave it to Packer fans to try to cheat the system....

MDK.

Lemme get this straight... Cheat the system? Push? Are you nuts? When has there ever been a situation on gambling history, -particularly when there is money involved, that things end in a push??? There are always tiebreakers, the obvious one being the fact that the Pack solidly handled your squad on BOTH meetings this season. From there all other tiebreaker formulas are moot. If you really wanna drag this out for another week just to prolong the inevitable, I guess I'll indulge you, but historically speaking, I dont think the VikQueens have won the final game of the regular season since Denny Green was head coach.

Alright then, let's just wait and see. I can't imagine it'd feel too good having that on my conscience knowing that if indeed they do both come out 8/8 or 7/9 that somehow this 'push' lets you off the hook. I mean your most effective argument (and one that you failed to mention) is that simply, there were never any rules established to determine the outcome of a tiebreaker ahead of time. I'll grant you that. Personally, I think it's a lil' bit of a cop-out to be rooting for a push in a bet, but whatever... -that's at least a valid point. But the whole point of any competition is to determine a winner and a loser.

And P.S., if you're looking for class and sportsmanship, you came to the wrong gang blog son. This is the L.O.IzzAy potna! We keeps it raw up in this bitch...-Ya'eardme!!!

To quote John Goodman in The Big Lebowski, "YOU"RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT, SNICK!!"

Perhaps the book "Gambling for Dummies" would make a great stocking stuffer for you, Snick. You accepted the bet on "which team would get the most wins this year". (btw, nice touch on the link, stallionfucker)

I have about as much time to determine the 'ground rules' and 'tie breaker scenerios' on a $20 prop bet as I do to rub my dick on a cactus, you fool. I would have happliy accepted a push if our roles were reversed.

Save your pathetic guilt trips for the next guy and stick to what you know best- calling out republicans, asian-fetish porn, and faggy celeb watching; leave the gambling interpretation to others. Dead issue.

(you probably should myspace me your address, though. I have a feeling this is all moot cause the ViQueens are in full melt-down mode right now...)

For real tho, we gotta eat a brownie or some shit next time your in MN. Happy Holidays, my friend!!

Fair enough...Wait... When you say that the ViQueens are in full meltdown mode 'right now'; is that supposed to imply that at some point in recent memory that they were NOT in meltdown mode? I thought that was just their standard operating procedure; -like how a lot of teams run a version of the 'west coast offense' or a 'nickel defense' etc. I thought that the Vikings system was actually called 'meltdown mode'.
You know what Med, This just occurred to me; I miss the old Viqueens. I miss Tice and good ol' Red McCombs. Back then the Vikes were at least exciting... Mothafuckas would be scalping all kinds of superbowl tickets, driving drunk like every other day, fucking strippers on boats...-That shit was awesome! Enter Ziggy Wilf and Brad Childress, and what do you got? a phenomenal run defense and that's about it. Same results as always, -falling short of making the playoffs. Starting off strong, but blowing it come midseason. It's the same old hopeless Vikes, -just minus all the fun. Could your team be any more boring?? I say bring back Tice!! Bring back Daunte and Moss and lets get the squad back on track!!!
You with me!!???

Merry Christmas buddy, -you're on for some brownies next time I come through, -Dre Day perhaps?
Holla!

Be careful what you axe for homie.... Unlike the queens, the Pack has been known to finish the season strong. Not to mention the fact that the Bears already have the NFC North pon lock, -They might just be in 'let's not get our starters injured' mode (not to be confused with 'meltdown mode').

You do raise some valid points though. I cant front like my current squad is the dominant big-dick slangin', bonecrushing Packers of a few years back; -particularly speaking of that stretch of like 8 consecutive seasons with playoff appearances, 4 of those being consecutive division titles. -We're not currently that team... But here's the Key difference between This year's Pack and this year's Vikes:
Pound for pound, the experts picked your team to actually be decent this year. Some of them even picked them to go deep into the playoffs- new Broncos rip-off uniforms and all. -Bottom Line; they miserably underachieved..

On the other hand, most of those same experts also predicted the Green and gold to come in dead last in our solidly mediocre division. What'd they go and do?? -With a freshman O-line, virtually ineffective running game, and after losing their #1 reciever in Javon Walker (which I'm still pissed about), the Pack has clawed their way back towards wildcard contention. Along the way beating the Vikes Twice.-Taking carew of biz at Lambeau, and shutting them the fuck down at the miserable Metrodome. Bottom line: Overachievers... -All heart. That's what the packers are, that's what we do; -We BRING IT SON!

I don't want to start off your quick-approaching off season on a sour note, but the Favre farewell tour will be postponed for at least another season. I'm calling it now. There's no way that dude is ready to hang it up. Pills, booze, broken thumbs, dead dads... whatever, -Bring it! Favre aint done until he tells you he's done. As far as I'm concerned, that gives us at least another year to get rid of weak-ass Aaron Rodgers and find somebody who's half-way capable of carrying Favres jock.
