The Over/Under on the Kansas City Chiefs '08 Wins

by Chris Thorman on Jun 13, 2008 7:34 AM CDT in 2008 Kansas City Chiefs Off Season

This guy combines the sleaziness and wardrobe of a used car dealer and the bombast of a sports anchor.

I'm not a gambler by financial choice so I can't relate any experiences worth mentioning.

Unless you the count the time I was 12-years old and playing poker with my uncle and a friend of mine. My friend tried to look at my uncle's cards after a hand was over (he didn't know any better) when my uncle grabbed his hand and said he would break it if my friend tried to look at his cards again.

Then my uncle regaled us with the tale of the time he had the title of his neighbor's house in the pot of a poker game years ago. My uncle won apparently but I don't think he ever took that house.

Anyone have any funny or exciting gambling stories? All stories apply on this Friday.

That guy is a d-bag!

I do agree that we may not win 6 games next year, but his mannerism’s drove we nuts and when did we get Anthony Gonzalez at TE?(I know Tony is short for Anthony, so don’t go there.)

Last season I bet 100 bucks on the Chiefs to beat the Chargers and ended up winning 400, it was nice. I also won 1100 bucks at the roulette table a couple years ago. The rest of my gambling career is me losing money, going to the ATM, then losing more money.

That guys nuts

He called the Chiefs beating the Chargers last year a fluke. As I recall, the Chiefs routed them. He thinkgs we’ll be lucky to win one game against the Raiders and Broncos combined? Insanity! Both of those teams are in as bad or worse situation than the Chiefs.

I dont expect the Chiefs to be a great team this year, but I’d take that bet of winning 6 games in a heartbeat.

Money in the bank

That jackass seems pretty sure of himself, doesn’t he? I’m going to laugh when we get our sixth win because you know he and all the idiots that listen to him are going to put a bunch of dough on what they think is a sure thing.

Go back to selling used cars.

TOUCHDOWN! KAN-SAH-CITY!!!

I think our uncles should get together

Playing a game of poker with my uncle and a buddy of mine. Friendly game, less than $100 going around. Comes down to a big hand and my uncle casually slides a mini desert eagle on the table for intimidation purposes.

I ended up having to throw my pants away.

Considering

that I know my brother in law reads this blog, I think I’ll forego the dirty tales. We were in Vegas for the first time, and as soon as we got there we wanted to go walking around and take in some of the sites.

First stop was the Bellagio where the Mrs. wanted to partake in Blackjack. There was a roullette table next door, where I commenced losing $400 in about 30 minutes. When the wife found out we quickly exited and that was alot of my gambling while we were there… That is, until the last night. We ended up playing blackjack in the NY,NY hotel until around 4am, and won back nearly all the money we took to Vegas, minus souvenirs (about $900!). It was a good trip :D

Madden

A month ago or so I am playing Madden 2006 (Or maybe it was 2005, can’t remember) with a buddy. We play only for $20, but its very competitive. We pick 2 random teams and I was the Chiefs, he was the Lions. Long story short, I score a last second TD to go up by 4. I kick off with 12 seconds left and he returns a kick for a TD with EDDIE FREAKING DRUMMOND!!!!

Giving him tha $20 was a tough pill to swallow on so many levels.
