Not really a bet, but more of a dare.
My wife has been telling me I should get a tattoo. I'm not against tattoo's or anything, but its never really felt like part of my personal style or anything.
So, my wife watches games, but doesn't really follow football and generally has an "Any team on any given Sunday" attitude, but towards a whole season. (I might agree on a game by game basis)
So, before the season, she was telling me I should get a Bolt tattoo or something. So, I told her.. "Fine! If the Chargers make the Super Bowl- I'll get one"
"Chris...." She responded, in a tone of voice to say, get real. (Even she knows that much..)
Well, thinking that this was probably a 6 win team at best this season as we rebuilt, I responded, "OK.. fine, if we make the playoffs.. I won't just get a bolt.. I'll get the old school logo"
"Its a bet!" she responded.
I sat, self satisfied.
Now, here is the thing.. history isn't kind to me on these types of bets. I've shaved my head, sang the Pittsburgh Polka at work, wore a SF Jersey after the 94 Super Bowl... Even though, those were all bets on the Chargers winning, where they lost; my point is history is not kind to me when I bet on football. Just as it looked like I was about to get one.. the tide started turning.
My point is- I have no doubt the Chargers make the playoffs Sunday. And I start the new year with this on my upper arm:
