@MattForte22 Only so many times a man who's done everything he's been asked to do can be disrespected! Guess the GOOD GUYS do finish last
Does he start the season with them? Another team?

I'd take Forte in NY. LT is done and Greene is never going to be a feature back.

wtf is with all these rules?!justincredible;1124022 wrote:No.
How about we bet a Jets/Pats t shirt or something from NFLShop?
If Sanchez is injured and Tebow starts the bet is nullified and no one wins or loses.
To constitute a start, Tebow has to play the vast majority of snaps for the game. Not just run the first play or series or something before Mark takes over. I can see the Jets "starting" Tebow by running the wildcat the first series to throw the other team off guard or something. Basically, Sanchez has to be benched for me to agree to this bet.
Fine, deal.
One question - I think i agreed too soon since you went from vast majority to Sanchez being benched. If Tebow plays a quarter or more i think that counts as starting.

Sounds like something straight out of South Bend. Make the rules as confusing as possible and then never pay off the bet if you lose.Raw Dawgin' it;1124044 wrote:wtf is with all these rules?!

I really think it needs to be based on Sanchez being benched for sucking. I have no idea what kind of offensive game plan they are going to have. You're basically saying Tebow will overtake Sanchez as the starter. That constitutes more than a quarters worth of playing time.

You're slanting the bet. What if Tebow gets injured and Sanchez starts sucking so they put Stanton in? Injuries are part of the game. The bet should be cut and dry.justincredible;1124053 wrote:How is it confusing?

I do agree with this - i was actually planning on winning the bet with Tebow running a wild cat play to start the game. Clearly justin is scared, but it's fine, i suspect sanchez sucks enough to get benched when the fans start chanting tebowsleeper;1124071 wrote:You're slanting the bet.

And that would be a retarded bet for me to take. Tebow playing one play to start the game does not make him the starting QB of the team.

The bet is Sanchez sucks and Tebow takes over. Injuries have nothing to do with that.

I believe brett favre started 1 play to continue his starting streak - But i agreed to your rules, i think tebow gets a legit start. If he starts sucking though and they go back to sanchez it still counts. But i definitely believe he gets a legit start from media/fan/owner pressure or sanchez choking.justincredible;1124081 wrote:And that would be a retarded bet for me to take.

I agree, as soon as they announce Tebow as the starter I lose the bet, even if they go back to Sanchez later.
And yes, playing the first play makes you the starter, technically, for that game. But the bet is about Sanchez being benched for sucking in favor of Tebow.

How about Sanchez gets benched for another QB? That would be more of a fair bet. Essentially you get a "get out of jail free card" if he gets hurt, so to counteract that there's also a "get out of jail free card" for Tebow getting hurt.

I'm fine with that but if he's benched it would be for Tebow. I'll take the bet as him getting benched for anyone in the first 8 games.

Okay so the Bears sign Michael Bush (great signing) to 4 year deal.
My question is, does Matt Forte have a legitimate reason to gripe? I mean it's one thing where Marion Barber was clearly a situational player last year before Forte got hurt, but Bush is a good runner who could start for a bunch of teams imo.

He can QQ all he wants. The fact of the matter is RBs are dime a dozen.lhslep134;1124237 wrote:Okay so the Bears sign Michael Bush (great signing) to 4 year deal.

I agree the NFL is a business, and he's a liability coming off an injury in a league where 2 back systems are all the rage.
