crackur Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 just because someone takes money to root against them doesn't mean they will lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanLevy Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I would pay every dollar I had right now to see the Bills win one Super Bowl! I can't imagine what would happen, I'd probably be so happy I'd piss all over myself. I may also go and jump off a cliff cause I would know life couldn't get any better. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: cowboys, redskins, and giants!!!

CosmicBills Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Along the lines of my recent post where I bet $100 on Cincy to win this week. . . so that my pain could be eased if they lose. . . Here's an interesting hypothetical situation: AT WHAT POINT (MONETARILY) WOULD YOU START ROOTING AGAINST THE BILLS? I'll start: 1)This game: $400 (But, I'm more than willing to give up my $100 this week) 2)Playoffs: $1,500 3)AFC Championship: 2,000 and Superbowl. . . hmmm I don't think I could start actually rooting AGAINST them in a Superbowl whole- heartedly until the amount reached $5,000 Try to answer this as honestly as you can (of course, your individual finances will no doubt influence your answers) 165162[/snapback] So, what you're saying is your loyalty is for sale? Real commendable. What if Bill Gates offered to give you 1,000,000 bucks if your sister got hit by a bus? Would you be rooting for the Greyhound to clip her everytime she crossed the street? Oh, but then you would be rooting that she didn't die, just had some broken bones, right? I guess to some people money means everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Just read through... You said to win... That can't be bought... Now to lose? Even if they didn't throw it... Who's to sya they would of won in the first place? Again... Never... Because if a fix leaked out, what good is the money in prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 this echoes my sentiments exactly...i'd feel dirty and rotten for taking money to root against the Bills... 165316[/snapback] Same here. 10 Million bucks? Hell, I'd go talk to the Bills players and say, "Hey, if you each give me $200,000, I can guarantee a Superbowl victory!" I bet they'd all do that in a heartbeat. Seriously though, no way in hell. I want a victory, and no amount of money would change that. Now if we already had a victory... Then maybe... But $5,000? $10,0800? That's chump change, it'd have to be a LOT of money...

I am no millionaire, but if you aren't one of the above you are either the definition of a marginal fan or just flat out don't know the value of a dollar(which ain't much). Not to be rude, but seriously, $5000 is a nice piece of change if you are looking for a new wardrobe from Abercrombie and Fitch or looking to get a TV and some DVD's, but that kind of money don't even touch the overhead on living even in the most economical parts of WNY. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a decent set of walls with a roof on it that you could rent for $5000 per year anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest floridian fan Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 A great question.. but I can honestly say NEVER. What makes me such a hard core fan, I think, is my relentless, undying loyalty. I set these bright line rules, and I would never cross them. One of them is rooting against my team. A basic truism, I think.... For a small example on a smaller scale.. In my fantasy football league, I'm in the semi finals. I have chad and rudi johnson.. and they are both on the bench.. no chance in hell that I will ever play someone who is goign against the bills... its just a conflict of interest, and a true fan would not do it.. Of course, my kicker got 15 pts today, so I figure its God's way of reqrding me c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchBledsoe Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 Real money that couldn't buy much. Definitely a marginal fan. 165938[/snapback] Yeah, right. . . marginal fan, sure. Whatever. I guess marginal fans actually take the time to post on a teams website. I'll bet I know more about the Bills than you ever will. I see where you've only made 60 posts since May. . . now that's a marginal fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
