Last year, Mr. John Rice and myself engaged in a superbowl bet. While he took much ridicule from myself and the forum members for not living up to the bet, he did have legitimate reasons for not owning up.
I thought the idea was a unique and good way to bet on the superbowl. For those unaware, there is no money involved, only humiliation. The idea is simple, two parties pick their teams, and the loser is forced to go and watch a film (I think at the theaters is even more humiliating....but something on DVD would also work) that they would under no other circumstances watch.
Last years film in question was Kangaroo Jack. This year, there is even a better choice....You Got Served. (of course this is in my opinion....and any who would like to see this film should take no offense)
So I thought why not start a thread, and see if anyone else wants to play along too. If you want in, either find an adversary,
or post that you want in. Also post which team you favor. Any one new to come along (with an opposing team) can challenge anyone already in. Once two people have paired up, they then should decide on the film the loser must view.
To avoid any confusion, I'd ask that anyone playing abide by the following rules.
The Rules
1. So no one has to shuffle their schedule around, the loser will have until March 1 to complete their "humiliation."
2. The two contestants will decide which movie the loser must watch. The film in question may differ between combatants (In example....If George and I went head to head and he lost...he might have to watch Do the Right Thing and if I lost, I may have to watch The Apartment.)
3. The two individuals must decide upon any points given between themselves. I think when you have the two top teams in the sport going head to head there should be no points, but if the two in question would like to honor the spread then it's up to them.
4. The loser must come back here and write a review (as big or small as they wish) of the film.
Even if you don't follow football, or don't care about it, feel free to join in. It's all in fun.
The Combatants
1.brian Kissinger taking the Panthers and risking Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
vs
Brad Porter taking the Patriots and risking You Got Served
(no points)
2. Dome Vongvises taking the Patriots
vs
Nick Sievers taking the Panthers
3. Angelo.M taking the Panthers (and the points)
