It’s football season again and those of us who follow the sport are rallying around our favorite college or pro team.
Several people on Xanga follow football. They mention their favorite team in some or most of their post (me being no exception). I’ve seen more than a few pages done up in team colors, and while I haven’t done that here, don’t think I haven’t thought about it. In fact one of the colors of my favorite football team (the Jacksonville Jaguars), is teal. I HAVE used that color (or variations of it) on my Xanga for years. So, that got me to thinking, after reading Kathi’s latest post about the Kansas City Chiefs…. Hmmmmmmm.
Since Kathi and I both post about our respective football teams, on a semi-regular basis, why not have a friendly little, non-monetary, wager.
Here’s some background…
After losing two games (to Tennessee and New England respectively), with one last shot at the playoffs, the Jaguars traveled to Kansas City for a game against the Chiefs. With both teams at 8-7, this was a must win for both sides. The final score was 35-30 in favor of the Chiefs. The Chiefs' win eliminated the Jaguars from playoff contention, but propelled the Chiefs to the 6th and final spot in the AFC conference.
Oh the humanity! A 5 point loss! We needed that win so bad!
Of course, the Chiefs needed the win as well. A lot of good it did them, Prissy Peyton and the Colts knocked em out of contention the next week! We had beaten the Colts (44-17), just three weeks previously. We had almost beaten New England (24-21) the week before. If everything had worked for us, the way it worked out for KC, we may have done the improbable and beat the Colts again, possibly (a real long-shot) New England for once. What if it had been Jacksonville in the Super Bowl!?!
Impossible? Can anyone say Rex Grossman and the Chicago Bears!?! Pffffftttt!!!! Anyway, that’s the history, the background, the whole sordid, putrid, debilitating, heart wrenching, affair.
I am a bitter man. I have become somewhat reclusive, wandering around muttering to myself. I feel nauseous when I see a red and white color scheme. I kicked Larry Johnson off my fantasy football team (ok NOT, but I thought about it). But I digress, here’s the challenge…
If the Jacksonville Jaguars lose to the Kansas City Chiefs, next week, in Kansas City… I’ll do my Xanga up in Red and White, with a BIG old KC LOGO displayed prominently on my FRONT PAGE… providing that Kathi agrees to do similar to her Xanga, only with a Jaguars theme, on her page, provided the Jaguars win
Maybe we could set a time limit of doing it for a week or two… no need for cruel and unusual punishment to either side…lol. Just a friendly wager.
What do you think Kathi? Are you game? We can work out exact details in the chatbox I hardly ever use. That way it can be seen by everyone, and they can make suggestions there or in the comments if they want… cmon….please? I love a challenge.
Dude...your team has to beat the Toolguys. Then if my team wins I might go to first place in my division!
Hi, ryc: thank you. Hope you did not have any problems last weekend with the flooding and the red tide. Okay, I forget who this football team was. But other day watched it and they were on a field that was a horrible blue. Of course their uniforms matched. It gave me a headache just watching for a few minutes. The teams have been really "weird" this year. Of course I will always be a GA Bulldog-yea terrible team this year. But hey that's the Bulldawgs. No I am not a blankie blank SC Gamecock HA HA. I have noticed that around here I notice more fans for the bulldogs. Please have a grand week!!! Sharon up in Charleston
RYC: There have been a couple of people lately who have asked me about fantasy football so yea, if you want to do all Xanga Fantasy football next season I think we can pull it off.
Thanks for beating the Tool guys! I won, they lost so we will have an even record. I think they'll still be in first place though as they have more points. That's ok though, one step at a time.
Are you guys who we play today? You must remember that the Number One Chiefs Fan here is just coming out of a drug-induced period of hell. Okay, I promise that if we lose, I will post a picture of a Jaguar on my next post. Now you must remember that I am not the handiest person with layouts, and I don't want to blow up my site, but I will try. Boy, I sure hope I don't have to do that! Now, you had better wish me well, as I have been in a ton of pain, my man. I should get some good wishes, whether the Chiefs win or lose, right? :- }```` <---those are supposed to be raspberries, lol.
Kathi
You still did not wish me well...I am saddened.
Okay...you have been exonerated of your crime, and may the best team win!!!!
