And I have stayed out of that thread. I don't know how it is ending up but I saw the word "forever" in the first post.
I try hard not to bet on anything that I don't control, but during the offseason a few years ago Wes Mantooth got me all riled up and I made abet with him. I am pretty sure it was a sig bet instead of a "leave town" bet, but almost immediately I regretted it. I backed out, but it was before anything had changed that would have tipped the scales one way or another. I took a lot of grief for that, but it was not like I backed out after something happened that made it more likely I would lose. Instead I just reverted to my old rule of not betting on something I could not control.
I would never bet on anything that would "cost" me anything on something I have no control over; however, modifying my sig for a few months to put my money where my mouth is costs me nothing and I'd hope those that participated could take it for the spirit of "same side" as it is proposed.
If Truck and pdub want to go down the road they are on while others with no skin in the game bicker, who am I to stop anyone. Just proposing an alternate.
