The Official Goldbully-RYK, Stillers vs. Ravens, Silver American Eagle Challenge

RYKRYK Posts: 35,796 ✭✭✭✭✭
Some of you might know that the biggest football rivalry in the NFL is being played once again tomorrow afternoon.

Goldbully, a Ravens fan, and myself, a Steelers fan, have, in the spirit of the Duke Brothers, made a wager on the outcome of the game. If the Steelers win, Goldbully will donate a Silver American Eagle (or the cash equivalent) to the James Harrison Family Foundation. In the unlikely event image that the Ravens win, I will donate a Silver American Eagle (or the cash equivalent), to the Willis McGahee Foundation.

Feel free to get in on the action by offering to "bet" with or against us or to find another betting partner for one of the other games this weekend.

It's a fun way for coin collectors to give something back to the community and to those less fortunate.

    Should we start calling you Winthorp?

    Actually, that name seems more apporpriate for someone in Longacre's family image

    no, RYK is Randolph Duke and Goldbully Mortimer Duke

    The Steelers and Ravens are Billy Ray Valentine and Louis Winthorpe III, respectively

    To The Top (I suggest with abbreviate this common phrase to "ttt" going forward).

    It was easy to donate to the James Harrison Family Foundation... PayPal baby! The Willis McGahee Foundation required a little more effort, but it was worth it.

    I made a contribution to the Harrison Foundation last year. I hope that I am not forced into making a contribution to McGahee's tomorrow. image

    Since I don't follow your "sport" and I am not able to guess who's going to win, I just donate the cash equivalent of the Silver Eagle to the JH Foundation. Can anyone please balance my donation to the WMcG Foundation?

    It will happen after the Steelers lose, and be RYK's way of committing forum suicide.

    That seahawks saints game was nuts...I'm a rams fan image, but am rooting for the seahawks to go all the way now. Plus, I am moving up there in six months. image

    I attended the game with my fiance and her sister and brother in law. They're all Saints fans. image

    Maybe we can get together when I get up there to see a Rams/Hawks game..

    I will admit I am biased living in the Midwest. But if Chicago beats Seattle and Green Bay beats Atlanta, then the NFC Championship game between long time rivals Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers will be epic!

    WAAAAAAKKKKKKKEEEEE UUUUUUUPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!


    Ok, I now have that out of my system.

    It would be funny if the NFC Championship is played in Seattle. That being said, being a Bears fan, I have to tell you to...


    WAAAAAAKKKKKKKEEEEE UUUUUUUPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

    Matt Hasselloser. Please.
    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.
  • I predict the Ravens will beat the Steelers by 17 today. Sorry RYK.


  • << <i>Go Seahawks. I will donate 10% of the sportsbook ticket I have in my pocket if they win. Moneyline! >>



    I do hope you won't cry to hard when they become BEAR meat in Chicago

    it is so cold on the lakefront this time of year

    birds of prey just can't seem to fly to well when covered in ice and BEAR claws.....

    Bears 45 - Seahawks- 10

    You sound just like those Saints fans I sat with at the game. Before the game, anyway. image
  • GoldbullyGoldbully Posts: 17,128 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Congrats, RYK.....hope they go all the way.
    My Ravens spanked your guys in the first half for sure.
    I believe the Ray Rice fumble was the key to the disastrous second half.
    Ravens just lost it in the second half.
    Talk about a penalty filled blood bath!!!!!
    Talk about mutiple sacks on both QB's!!!
    But, it was still a true Steelers/Ravens matchup!!!!
    My contribution to the James Harrison Fund has been processed!!!!

    Good Luck in the AFC Championship Game!!!
  • RYKRYK Posts: 35,796 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Goldbully, you are a good sport. I almost came here and conceded the game at half time. It was sad either team had to lose. Unfortunately, I think the Ravens match up much better against the Patriots than the Steelers do (especially with all of the additional injuries), but the Steelers will give it their best. I agree, the zebras were too involved in the game. That crew in particular seems to consistently be one of the worst.

    I am going to make a contribution to McGahee's Foundation as soon as I check out of the forum. He does good work for the underprivileged children of Baltimore.

    I look forward to the next game between the Steelers and Ravens in the fall.

    and there's plenty of them.

    Baltimore is consistently one of the poorest performers in stae education.

    Go 2 blocks north of the inner harbor and you're in a poor neighborhood already.

    Baltimore used to be a steel town, too. Not anymore.

  • piecesofmepiecesofme Posts: 6,669 ✭✭✭
    MAN! I wish I would've seen this thread before now! Steelers are having to win 2 SB's ( Ravens, now most likley Pats) just to get to the SB.
    Living in the Midwest and having to listen to Bears talk all the time, I kind of hope it comes down to Steelers vs. Bears so I can hand terrible towels out to all my Bear friends to wipe the egg off their face! image

    I have found that trash talking is most effective and enjoyable once the Lombardi is in hand. image
  • GoldbullyGoldbully Posts: 17,128 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Speaking of trash talking before the Lombardi is in hand.
    I wasn't real happy when Heinz Ward said that the "Ravens will be thinking about this loss for a long time."
    That was uncalled for.

    That's what winners say after a war. That game was a war and it took it's toll. Steelers OL is down to 3rd & 4th stringers, but I have no doubt whatsoever that they will come out on top. Jets are playing out of their mind beating 2 great teams on their homefield. I just cant see it happening a 3rd time.

    Kinda like when the U.S. won WWII?
    I can remember the citizens speaking that acclaimed war mantra......."the 'axis' will be thinking about this loss for a long time!!!"
    Thanks for the teachable moment!

    I agree with Goldbully on this point and was surprised when I heard Hines Ward's comment. I prefer to compliment and celebrate the effort of the losing opponent (like Tomlin and Roethlisberger did).
