I have a free Superbowl futures bet

Mr.Jones · Oct 12, 2003

Since I'm not following the NFL very closely this year who should I take? Comments much appreciated.

SrMuny · Oct 12, 2003

I think the BEARS will get ya like 1 Million to 1

Mr.Jones · Oct 12, 2003

With all due respect Sir Muny, it may be of some benefit to pick a club that has a shot at the playoffs. But I thank you for the suggestion anyway sir. Please keep em coming. Not looking for the big score just the winner.

SrMuny · Oct 12, 2003

I hear ya. Was just kinda funnin around. But someone around here should have the answer your looking for. Good luck

randyrohm · Oct 12, 2003

If I had to pick today it would be KC. Indy and Minny would be my next level. Good Luck

Mr.Jones · Oct 12, 2003

OK how about this. I will make a pick and let everyone know what it is. If you should be the first to suggest that team, I will send you a size large Tampa Bay Bucs tee shirt that is autographed "To Mark, Mike Allstot" by Mike.

Completely free. No shipping and handling charge except to Kazahkstan. But your suggestion has to be the first posted, I must use it and it must come in. I may go with the consensus. Don't worry about odds just get me the winner.

If your name is Mark this is a pretty good deal. If it isn't then it probably sucks like it does for me. I am not a Mark and like to think of myself as not being one.

Mr.Jones · Oct 12, 2003

randyrohm only one pick please. multiple picks won't work for this contest.

CardFather · Oct 12, 2003

Mr. Jones, Miami has all the tools and an excellent shot this year.

Mr.Jones · Oct 12, 2003

I just reread your pick randy that's one K.C.

UWinSports · Oct 12, 2003

The Rams. They will get better every week.

Mr.Jones · Oct 12, 2003

Thank you Cardfather that's the first Miami.
Wait to keep these coming I will draw one name from the suggested picks on the team I choose for the shirt.

Mr.Jones · Oct 12, 2003

I am a man of my word and I will send this shirt as per the last posted rules of this contest. I don't have a camera and don't know how to post pictures anyway, but let me say this is an excellent condition white tee shirt with "Unstoppable Alstott" written on a picture of a pewter faceless helmet, red shoulder pads #40 on them, on a black background with purple lightning bolts. Mike signed it "To Mark Go Bucs! Mike Alstott".

It can be yours. Keep em coming.

Check out my thread entitled "Teams no longer in Super Bowl contention" in the NFL forum to see who NOT to take. Maybe that will help you out.

Mr.Jones · Oct 12, 2003

Entrants as of now:

randyrohm: K.C.
Cardfather: Miami
Anthony Richkas: St. Louis
Sir Muny: Da Bears

I will make my choice by Tuesday 11 AM Eastern, or whenever I get out of bed, and will keep posting constant updates in order to elicit more responses and build my posts up in my personal quest for the elusive and treasured RX shirt.

BM's more than welcome to respond. Oh yea, for sure. Cmom Freddy, Will, Lenny. Remember free shipping and handling to Costa Rica also. No Kazahkstan, as mentioned, so your out Mr. Ghost. Canada is OK Mr. Sick and others in the Great White North.

Mr.Jones · Oct 12, 2003

Big Lou, I'm running a contest here and don't have time just give me your friggin' pick.

DannyMay · Oct 12, 2003

Carolina looks like the best value. They are off to a 5-0 start and are still around 15 to 1.

samstin · Oct 12, 2003

not sure of the exact stat but teams that are 5-0 have gone to the superbowl every year. not sure how years that includes

BigLou+ · Oct 12, 2003

I hope your future wager goes down the drain now.

Big Lou

sandmanfromlv · Oct 12, 2003

call me crazy, I would take Denver

Mr.Jones · Oct 12, 2003

Big Lou, I was most certainly speaking in jest. I don't think anybody here has ever heard me "coming on like a prick". It was not my intention to do so and I hope I never do in this forum. I try to go out of my way not to make enemies here. You read me wrong sir, but even so I apologize and hope you give me a pick.
