Observations after five practices in training camp
<snip>
Memo to 5 Rings and Curtis on your bet for the Sunshine Kids: I want checks to deposit in the bank to hold for both of you.
5 Rings said the Texans won't win more than three games. 5 Rings will donate $10,000 to the Sunshine Kids when the Texans win their fourth game.
Curtis and 5 Rings will put up $10,000 each on the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl. If they win, Curtis donates his share to a charity of 5 Rings' choice. If they don't win the Super Bowl, 5 Rings will donate 10 grand to the Sunshine Kids. We'll shoot a video of the loser making his donation.
So, 5 Rings and Curtis, are we clear on your wager for charity?
John,
When a Cowboy fan says the Texans won't make the play-offs, they're moronic idiots who don't know anything. It's nice to see you saying what I've been saying for 6 months. So, to all the hapless Houston fans,,,is John a Moron? Is he an idiot? I mean, he's saying what I've said from day 1. Except I like to split hairs even more, and say they win only 3 games this year. This isn't my disdain for the Texans for saying this. I look at the schedule, and I see 3 wins tops. The Texans will lose to the Colts and Jags twice. They'll lose to the Titans at least once. They'll lose to the vikes. They'll lose to Greenbay. That's 6 losses right there. It is what it is. Calling America's team "cowboys" over and over won't change that. (My God that gets old. Be more original then "cowboys")
Texfan, sure I'll put money on my predictions. Problem is, I've never met a Texan fan that I could trust. Unless John's willing to hold the green, forget it. Otherwise, Absolutely.
{5 Rings, I make predictions based on what I think. You make them because you want to get a rise out of Texans fans. I think the Texans are going to finish 9-7 and miss the playoffs. When I look at the AFC and see how strong I think so many teams will be, there's no way I can pick the Texans to make the playoffs if I'm thinking with my brain and not my heart. -- JOHN}

OK 5 Rings you own. I will put up $10,000 dollars
in a cashier check or cash. I'll bet you that the Texans win more than 3 games. John knows me and can verify my financial worthiness. After the Texans win 3 games I'll donate your $10,000 and my $10,000 to the Sunshine Kids. Put up or shut up.
Posted by: Curtis at July 25, 2008 12:20 AMFirst of all, Curtis, you are beneath me. I've never heard of you, so quit trying to impress me with your fake 10,000.00 bet. I've got 10,000 dollars under the car seat of my Porche.
However, since I'm dealing with multiple people that I don't know, I'm not willing to risk them skipping out when they lose. Why not make it a million dollar bet with that logic?
I will however bet anyone 100.00 that the Texans only win 3 games, IF you also bet me 100.00 that they don't or do make the play-offs. Of course, I say they don't. These are the 2 things I've been saying, so it's only fair to bet on both of these. I will tell you right now, When I win, I am choosing the Cancer research at M.D. Anderson for my winning contribution. Plus, I will only bet those who have the John McCain seal of approval. Otherwise, as much as you guys hate me (I'm good with that), I won't do it.
{5 Rings, I know Curtis very well. His money is good. He'll give me a check -- or cash -- to hold. Will you do that? -- JOHN}

That genius 'Kubes" is probably regretting passing up Mendenhall right about now.
Where's Curtis? He make's a 10000.oo offer, and then disappears? I have talked to Dale Hanson from WFAA and 103.3 the Ticket in Dallas, and told him about the offer. He said if Curtis doesn't back out, he'd like to give some publicity to this charity cause. Since this is turning into the real deal, I want to up the bet to 50,000.00 per bet. ( 50 k for winning only 3 games, and 50k for not making the play-offs). Come on Curtis. 100,000.00! I've got it, do you? Besides, I need the write offs.
John, I am curious over something. As long as I've been blogging here, I've never seen a Curtis post before, and all the sudden, here he comes wanting to bet me a measley 10k, and not only that, he has your endorsement on the credibility issue. Somethings a little fishy with that. However, I am saying it now. 50,000.00 for each bet. If the bets push, I'll still give 50,000.00 to the MD Anderson Cancer research. Will Curtis? Great publicity for a great cause if Curtis isn't a one trick pony. (Something is fishy in Denmark with the sudden arrival of Curtis). Who cares. Lets do this!
{5 Rings, Curtis posts all the time, usually late at night. I wouldn't get into a betting war with him. Trust me on this. -- JOHN}

5 Rings No Footballs and a Big Mouth
I see that you want to raise the bet to $50,000. I can't afford that I don't have your kind of money Ha Ha. I'm a poor old working boy from Houston Texas. I was born in the Heights Hospital many years ago. I am good for the $10,000 bet are you? Remember chicken ain't nothing but a bird.
Curtis
PS I have posted on this blog many times before. I'm not John I'm better looking.

Yes, I want to bet 50,000.00. I didn't have this food business handed to me, so I too am only a hard working man. John said I shouldn't get in a betting war with you, so I'm not. But if you're confident enough to disagree with my 2 predictions, and present me with a betting offer, I have every right to "raise" your betting offer. It's 50k, or it's nothing. I'm going to donate it anyway, (you'll hear about it) so put your money where your pie-hole is. I am.
P.S. I have also posted on here many times, and John IS better looking then me.
