Hell, I'll even stick my neck out. If we beat New Orleans, I won't post on this board until the first regular game of next season.

There are always consequences to our decisions, actions, and statement that we make.

I get tired of reading crap from him and posters like him, ... they seem to enjoy Cowboys losses, and then put down any wins as "unimpressive."

He spouted off his crap, never dreaming that he might have to stick to his words, .. the Cowboys made him eat his words, and now he can stick to his word and not post until his sentence is up. Face the consequences.

Normally, I am usually very optimistic about each game the Cowboys play, .. and I didn't have a great feeling about this game, .. but I never felt like we couldn't win.

Then I knew we were going to win when Tony took the field after New Orleans '3 and out' to start the game, .. and Journeys "Don't Stop Believin'" was on the jukebox in the "dive" I was watching the game in.

This was "THE NIGHT"

Yeah it wasn't a bet that Slate or anyone else talked him into taking. He came out with those words all on his own cause he was so certain that we wouldn't win.

I think he should comeback after our season is over but if he stays gone till next season then all the more power to him for sticking to exactly what he said he'd do.

This team (Minus Nick Folk) came to play and won a game they had to win. For the first time in Wade Phillips era, they played very well in a big game in December. Even more impressive, it was against the best team in football. In their house. I'm still shocked, I can't believe it, but I promise you I couldnt be happier that I was wrong. Here's to doing it two more times and winning the division.

So, go ahead, let me have it. I guranteed a loss and said I'd quit posting until the start of next season. I put it out there and got burned. I'll be here to read, just unable to post. See you guys next season (I know, you're all crushed ).

Great thread. Thanks for posting.

They don't call me Pollyanna Bear for nothing...

I reserve my negative comments for the posters in this forum, not the team... which is, of course, why I get regular PMs from the mods in here...

In three years of participating in pick 'em leagues, I have never once picked the Boys to lose (even when I thought they probably would)... if they lose the game, I'll forfeit that point, with nary a regret...

You could be more like me... I argue with EVERYBODY, except that rare few who have the wit and perspicacity to always agree with me...

And to tell you the truth, sometimes they get on my nerves, too...

My hope is that if he learned anything from this, it's not to bet your posting privileges on anything, no matter how sure a bet you consider it...

I have been offered some bets like this, and always turn them down... instead, I have proposed avatar bets, or sig bets... I can carry an embarrassing avatar for a month or so better than I could handle being self-banned from this forum, or any forum that I like...

I've had my problems with him in the past, but I basically like him... but he knows that he has to live up to his word, now that he's painted himself into a corner... if he didn't, the folks who really dislike him would torment him about it forever...

He's better off manning up the way he is, and making a mental note to never bet something as important to him as his posting privileges again... basically, don't ever make a bet that would hurt you badly if you lost it...

So be well, you damned ol' Aggie, and we'll keep the forum going until you get back...

I think he came up with the bet all by himself, Hos...

Hey, what's wrong with acting like a child?? I've been doing it for years in here, and look how universally beloved I am...

No, I didn't type that with a straight face... I was crackin' my own self up as I typed...

Let's not be too hasty, now... IMO, if HeavyHitta were to procreate, sacrificing his children would be a good thing for society in general...

We need to completely eradicate the concept of the 30 yard slant forever...
