yo Darin..........avatar wager?

galaxy27galaxy27 Posts: 7,834 ✭✭✭✭✭

yes, the Bears are my team. but they suck. if i used them to back my forum wagers, J.R. would never see the light of day again. so i'll use my adopted team until the Bears stop stinking the joint up. with that said,

@Darin? a Kyler & Mahomes avatar bet riding on tomorrow's outcome? for the remainder of September?

i'm down. lmk prior to kickoff.

you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    and btw, how about more of these to add a little flava to this place? if your team is playing another contributor's team, make it happen. perhaps i'm easily amused (i say that a lot), but i think it would be fun to hop on here and see a new Friday, Monday or Tuesday morning av from someone who was on the wrong end of a forum bet.

    Ewwwwwwww. Things about to get spicy in here.

    ETA: I have never made an avatar bet. Maybe this is my year. 🤔

    Yes, I will be looking for an opportunity. Who wants to risk the shame of rockin' the purple box (with black outline)?

    ETA: or it could be just a sports related avatar, either way..

    Just name the game.

    @thisistheshow, I've already got it picked out for you, this will be your new avatar if you lose.

  • DarinDarin Posts: 7,067 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Galaxy let's do it!
    I switched my avatar from Mahomes to Brett last year after the Bengals beat the Chiefs
    in the AFC championship game. Its time for Mahomes and crew to redeem themselves
    starting with an opening win against Arizona.

  • DarinDarin Posts: 7,067 ✭✭✭✭✭

    My goal for this year strictly for this forum would be to see thisistheshow lose an avatar bet
    and we get to see something, anything, other than that dang purple box for a while! :D

    Good luck to both of you. I’ll be watching with renewed interest

    @thisistheshow, Howdy partner, I couldn't help but notice you picked the Raiders to beat the Chargers, that's a good a place as any, meet me there tomorrow pilgrim and we'll settle this.

    No, not going with that one. But ...

    I also noticed you picked the Commanders over the Jags. I'll take that bet. I have the Jags starting 1-0 in our contest. Let's do it. What's at stake?

    Ok, I'll take it. If you lose, you must change your avatar to cowboy Rodgers for the rest of September, if I lose I will change my avatar to a photo of your choosing for the rest of September. Let's do this!

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @thisistheshow, I took the liberty of making a nifty little poster for our duel, hopefully this advertisement will attract more interest in our game.

    I am sitting here this morning,about to enjoy my first cup of coffee, thinking about what avatar you would have to go with should you lose. At first I thought I would make you use the purple box, but then I realized I am the purple box. Though I've only yesterday learned that that my box is the object of much forum vitriol. So I though and thought, and I believe I have a good choice. I shall stick you with a Carson Wentz avatar. Let me search for a good option. I will make it known before kickoff. 👍👍🏈🏈

  • thisistheshowthisistheshow Posts: 9,386 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @doubledragon I'm having trouble choosing a Wentz avatar. So many good ones. I've decided I want it to just be his smiling face, very clear, for all to see. So I will leave it up to you. If I approve...

    A Carson Wentz avatar, you know my weaknesses, I tip my hat to you sir.

    Oops. Wrong one. Hold on. There are so many Rodgers Cowboys out there. I forgot you stipulated that one. Hold on.

  • galaxy27galaxy27 Posts: 7,834 ✭✭✭✭✭

    there's good news, there's bad news, and there's good news

    the good news is that the Chiefs helped me win my money bet

    the bad news is that the Chiefs helped me lose my avatar bet

    the good news is that my new av is Patrick Mahomes flying thru the air about the hurl the rock and not Aaron Rodgers looking like a complete moron

    Sorry can't say the same for showtime. He has taken a step backward from the purple box. :p

    And Galaxy what a performance by the Bears!!

    A lot of upsets, surprises today. Week 1 is like that.

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @thisistheshow, I must say, that new avatar is looking sharp, we really should do this more often. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to work on my biceps!

    I find they are only upsets if you pick them to win - :D
