Slaton vs. LT---Season long thread (Keith vs. RJB)

[Keith]

as most of you know, I have wagered $300 against rjb as to who will finish the year with more fantasy points, Steve Slaton or LT. We made that wager several weeks ago, before Chris Brown was declared the goal-line back for Houston, so I do believe I am somewhat of an underdog in this contest.

We agreed that it would run all 17 weeks of the regular season, and we agreed on the following scoring system (whole numbers only, no rounding):

6 points for TDs (rushing, receiving or passing)
1 point for every 3 receptions
1 point for every 10 yards rushing
1 point for every 10 yards receiving
-2 points for fumbles

I believe that covers it.

Dr. Jack has confirmed receipt of the $$$ from both of us. Should there be any disputes (not that I anticipate any, but you never know), I am willing to abide by any "ruling" that Dr. Jack would make.

As Michael Buffer would say: Let's get ready to RUUUUUUMBLE !!!

fact is, that would prove MY initial point--which was that it was not unreasonable to believe that Slaton would outscore LT. It was rjb who thought that idea was so absurd, that he was willing to wager on it. I then took the bet.

if you werent that confident keith, why not just bump rjb's statement at end of year instead of betting 300?

I was (and still am) confident. I was more so then because I did not believe they would name Chris Brown the goal-line back. No matter though. I firmly believe that LT's age and mileage catch up to him big time this year.

And he offered the bet--not me. I just accepted it (and then once I had, I suggested it be for a worthwhile $$$ amount). The $$ is of course irrelevant. I would donate it to charity.

I believe I would first have to actually win the $$$ BEFORE I can donate it to charity.

it is absurd...but i guess taking in to account my knowledge that kubiak always plays a ton of rbs, i guess i was ahead of you in my evaluation of the situation

this will be fun.
