I swear I can KILL any game just by saying "I'm sure they will win"

I single handedly cost the RAMS the Super Bowl (and myself $5k) years back, I cost the Bears a chance at the bowl a few years back, and I cost the cubs the World Series. The first game I brought myself to watch was the one where the fan caught that ball. I started watching the game 20-30 minutes before that happened!

This year I haven't watched a single bears game - I love them... but they have no chance with me watching them I did watch 20 minutes of a game... They gave up 2 touchdowns relatively quick about 6 weeks ago.. then I walked away. LAter that night I heard they came back and won - That's when I was sure!!!

Ok, Ryan, want you to pick 20 winners in next weeks game. Tell me who they are. I'll pick the 20 teams you think are going to lose, and then when I win, we'll split it 50/50. Whaddya say?

I don't know - if it isn't my money on the line... Then I would pry actually pick the winners not losers. However if it was my money, I would naturally lose 80% of the picks I chose as winners. I pactually tried picking the opposite of who I thought was going to win one week... I still lost 80% of my choices...

Thank GOD I never got too heavy into Sport's Betting - Not that poker didn't kill me enuf lol

Ryan...one of the things I love most about football is the "Any Given Sunday" rule. On any given Sunday, any team can beat any other team. Nobody thought the Chargers had a chance today. There's a lot of football fans walking around today muttering "you mean the San Diego Chargers beat the Colts?!?!?"
After the loss last week to Miami, frankly I didn't think we had much of a chance, either. I just hoped it would be a good game to watch and we wouldn't humiliate ourselves. We've had quite a few Sundays where someone should have walked out on the field and said "guys, you do know we're supposed to be playing *football,* don't you?"

This was one of those "Any Given Sundays." I'll bet there are happy bookies all over the planet.

Great Movie - If you haven't seen it ... Netflix it, or go to your local video store

Trust Me

Remember The Titans was also an EXCELLENT football movie ..

One that jsut came out.. under the lights or something like that, ehhhh ... iffy

"Remember the Titans" was a great movie.
"Friday Night Lights" wasn't.

My all time favorite has to be "The Replacements," though.

Any Given .. cool. Don't think they're on the tube yet.

Titans are on TNT this week or weekend I think.

Lights is on Shotime I believe this month.

Haven't seen any of them yet.

I saw The Replacements yet can't think of it now. Who was in it?

Anyone see the latest version of The Longest Yard that came out this year? Anything to it? Or stick with the classic original?

Rudy, saw it long ago. Agreed, Chris, good movie, though a bit overly dramatic, still worth a see at least once.

You have the same luck I do. I watch the Chiefs/Royals/Jayhawks and they always lose.

Ok Ok, so those teams lose anyways, but still they do horrible when I watch.
