Asalaam alaikum my brethrens. We are loosing because we are self destructing. Teams aren't beating us. I'm more of a hardcore fan than any of you in here yet I'm not even concerned. I didn't get my hopes up this season but I'll tell your right now, I still think we can win 9+ games. That said, one game I would like to see the skins loose is the game with Green Bay.

Peace!

more of a hardcore fan than any of us yet you'd like to see the Skins lose against Green Bay? I'm confused

As am I

Wait, is this because of that whole "if the Redskins win the last game before the election the current president always stays in power' and you want Kerry? And the Skins play the Packers just before the election

If so, I say politics be damned I want the Redskins to win!!!

since you don't know any of us (most of us?) that well, i'd like to know how you're sure you're more of a hard core fan, and why you want us to lose...

I want Kerry to win too, but I want to see the Redskins win more....way more! I suppose I could handle having Bush as my president for four more years if it means the Redskins win a game, lol. Four more years, what harm can he really do?

Don't answer that.

polotics and football dont mesh, two different (games)

and i have a huge problem with sadan1's post.... are you ******* kidding me????

if this were my boards.... you would be outta here.... OMG! AM I REALLY READING THAT?

I believe my post was on topic and about the redskins. The truth is this is not your board and I don't give a flying f*ck what you think. Feel free to feel the same way.

I don't know you, but I do know myself and believe myself to second to no one when it comes be being a Redskins fan. If you had the opportunity to win $1000 at the expense of the Redskins losing, I sure many of you would want them to lose.

Saden1, you still haven't given a reason why you'd want the Packers to win.

So?

Sounds like he bet against them?

I dont think any of us are more hardcore than any other of us. Its obvious how much passion we have for this team, by how much we talk about them. I wouldnt call myself more of a fan than anyone else, I'm a diehard and I know it. I'm pretty sure almost everyone else here is too.

Question someone's hardcore-ness on this board and you might as well duck and watch the bullets fly, LOL

I think I speak for everyone on this site when I say I hope Saden doesn't get his $1000

I don't think I could ever bring myself to bet against the Skins, too many mixed emotions would be going on there. Same reason why I find it hard to start fantasy players against the Redskins....of course, I'll be starting Favre against the Skins

Me too (Favre vs. Skins). But I originally had the Cowboys D and dropped them, just because I couldn't bring myself to play them or root for them to do well against anyone...

so you wouldn't take money to watch them lose, but you'd like to see them lose for free??

umm.... uhh... yeah, you're real hard core man... whatever.

who are you talking about? are you talking about saden or someone else?

Sorry folks but gambling is not something to be done with one's heart. Gambling is done with one's brain. So if betting against the Skins makes monetary sense, I'll do it in a heartbeat. But iof it makes no sense, I'll pass on the game.

There's gambling and there's investing. When you find a rabid fan of any team, you can wager with him/her on games involving the "favorite team" and make significant money over the long run. Reason is, they will bet with their hearts.

Back in the early 60s, the Packers were dominant under Lombardi and the Philly Eagles were doormats. (They had already traded Jurgensen here and couldn't get out of their own way.) A classmate of mine in college was convinced that his darling Eagles were going to cream the Packers in a game. The Vegas line was Packers - 13.5. If you don't follow NFL betting lines, that is a HUGE number! My classmate while perfectly sober got so into his reasoning about how the Eagles would clobber the Packers that he wound up betting me $20 (big money for college students in the 60's when draft beers were 25 cents every day of the week) and he gave me the Packlers PLUS 10 points. I don't care who you root for or against, that's a bet you have to take.

Final score: Packers" 49 Eagles: Zero

Betting for or against any team and rooting for or against any team are different things. It isn't all that hard to do both and keep them separate...

[QUOTE=smootsmack]who are you talking about? are you talking about saden or someone else?[/QUOTE]
saden, he asked whether we'd take money to watch the skins lose, but meanwhile states that he wants them to lose for free...

maybe he's just drunk...

Where in god's name did I say that? Which one of us is drunk? Do me a favor and quote the post where I state what you have just said.

FYI I don't drink alcohol.

Unless I read it wrong I thought saden was saying that even though he's the most hardcore fan here (his opinion, not mine) that he would like for the Packers to beat the Skins so he can collect $1,000..and presumably spend it on his hardcoreness

or a life time supply of Redskin gear?

Matty has told me, off the record, that if you donate even half of your winnings to this site he's agreed to consider changing the official name of the site to "Saden1 presents theWarpath.net brought to you by Saden1"

no bullshit?

[QUOTE=saden1]no bullshit?[/QUOTE]

um...I'll let Matty field this. LOL

saden1, here's the last sentence of your first post... i have no idea how you could possibly forget you wrote this...

[quote]I'm more of a hardcore fan than any of you in here yet I'm not even concerned. That said, one game I would like to see the skins loose is the game with Green Bay.[/quote]

pleasee tell me wtf kind of sense those two sentence make and how a hardcore fan can wish his team to lose while challenging other fan's loyalty??

please, i'm really dying to know...

SC points out that intellegently betting against your team is smart, and I agree. But, wouldn't "the most hardcore fan" likely bet with their heart, wrong as it may be? I think so.
That said, there is absolutely no sense in fighting over who is a bigger fan....we're all big Skins fans. Let's leave it at that.

i just want to know why he wants us to lose against the packers and how that makes him some kind of hard core fan...

I don't care if I would win a million, trillion dollars betting against the Redskins, I still wouldn't do it...well..ur...NO NO NO I wouldn't do it..now leave me alone! hahahahaah

If you said " you can have a million dollars right now, or the Redskins would win the Superbowl" I'd take the ladder. Money can only take you so far, I've been waiting my whole life and still waiting to know how it feels to watch them win one.
