Alright, it's time to break out the Diplomats Attache' Case.
As most of you know, I have a running bet with the ungodly, ever-whining poster known as "Doomy3" regarding total yardage plus rushing yards between Matt Cassel and Mark Sanchez for the 2009 season.
For those of you who are new, or are not hip to clash of egos that WAS the 2009 Draft discussions; a sizable number of posters here(myself included)wanted the Chiefs to draft a quarterback both before Cassel was brought to KC and AFTER he was brought here because frankly, our franchise's history with cast-off's and hand me-downs combined with the undeniable statistical data showing that drafted, franchise QB's win more Championships than any other "QB demographic" warranted such feelings/desires.
The whole mess pissed a LOT of people off and split the board to the point of Defcon 1. There are still heated debates continuing to this day, many spurred on by the overall performance of Cassel thus far, and there are always little jabs back and forth between posters who still reside on one side of the debate or the other.
Well, as it turned out, Doomy3 and I were the only people at the end of the day who believed in our convictions for both QB's enough to put our very memberships on the line to prove our points. It was a good season to do it from a fans standpoint as well, because the Chiefs and the Jets were/are not scheduled to face each other this year.
Thus far, it has been a close race with neither QB pulling a sizable lead.
Or setting the world on fire for that matter.
So what is this about? What am I driving at? It is this:
If I lose this bet, I will be gone from Chiefs Planet Forever. I honor my bets and this is a serious one.
If however I end up as the
victor in this wager, I will NOT claim my prize in this contest, and Doomy3 can stay here for as long as he likes. I realize there are members here who probably enjoy his takes and personality( for what reasons I can not
begin to imagine, but I digress...), and it would be a good move toward better overall harmony on the board after a very polarizing draft/off season.
It would be a respectable and honorable gesture of goodwill for someone elected to the Office of say....
Chiefs Planet King of the n00bs?
Elect me your King, and I shall make it so.
