My brother is one of those "idiots" taking the lions today. Every week for that matter he does. $50, 100.... every week. Puts on his lions jersey (one of his 10 or so), gets his lions beer mug out, turn on the NFL package find his game, and cheer away. Imagine how pathetic this is. We were born there in good ol' shitbox Detroit.
My brother, the poor son of a bitch he is, EVERY weeks bets on them, nothing huge, but enough to show he CARES.... and every week when HE MOST OFTEN LOSES, he sits back, is never disappointed, and goes
"Its okay guys, you'll get 'em next week"
And God forbid they win, he wants to party all night.
Be happy boneprone. People like me brother make you and I a lot of money.
You can buy him a drink if you ever meet him. ;)
