BigDingus Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'd easily take that $200... We know the Bills aren't winning the Super Bowl, let alone the AFC East crown, so the only way I'd be at risk of losing $10,000 would be if the Sabres somehow go from dead last in the league to Championship in one shot. I guess it's possible, but would any non-homer bet the Browns would go from dead last in the league to winning the Super Bowl this year? Hell, even though I'd only make $200, I'd take that bet with 50 separate people & still feel safe. Then I'd come away with $10,000 anyway, even if I did just risk paying $500k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as the 90's Bills are always referred to as having won 5 out of 6 AFC East championships. Hell, just google any articles that discuss those teams, or the Bills franchise achievements as a whole. Here's just the Wikipedia page of the Bills - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bills It even notes "Conference Championships," and "Division Championships" to go along with League Championships. In record books, in documentaries, in discussion, and on banners, division & conference championships are certainly referred to as "Championships," not "wins." Also, your comment "A championship requires a championship game or games where the tow best teams play" isn't true either. There are conferences in College Football that don't have a championship game, yet have a designated champion. The NFL already officially recognizes both division & conference champions...here's even more proof (in case you didn't want to read any articles, watch any videos, or listen to any broadcasts that specifically reference division champions) - 14 hours ago, billsredneck1 said: Ok whatever you win I'm out of this thread. It's a waste of time coming back to it. You were right...don't worry. I just posted proof in case he wants to keep arguing...

I just posted proof in case he wants to keep arguing... The guy asked if I would pay off for a division "championship". I said no. Champs win a game for.....a championship. It's nice that teams hang banners describing themselves as champions. Did the 2011 Tebow Broncos hang a banner? How about the 2014 Panthers? The 2013 Packers? The 2010 Seahawks? None of those "champions" had over 8 wins (3 had only 7) when they won their "division championships". So it's a meaningless designation and I wouldn't pay 10k for it. The college comparison is a uniquely poor choice. They didn't even have a playoff until fairly recently. Eeven ranking teams had forever been notoriously debatable. Conferences without a championship game have no real champ either. They have "team with the conferences best record", then they go to some bottom tier bow gamel, if lucky.
