49ers fan here. Although the OP may not be medicated, I think the whole Niners organization otta be medicated after winning in OT to lose the Reggie Bush sweepstakes.
As long as there is a plasma in that bag. . .
The answer is simple (although time’s a-wasting):
Rent a VFW hall, firehouse, or other venue that’ll hold large numbers of people.
Set up a standard Super Bowl box pool. If you need help on setting one up, here’s the one I ran last year (ignore the bit about bonus boxes).
Charge $100 per box. Buying a box gets you an invite to the event.
Take the $10,000 you get from selling out the box pool and buy three really nice TVs (roughly $2000 models) and one sweet honkin’ 60" plasma (roughly 3 grand).
Instead of cash payouts for the pool, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd-quarter winners get the smaller TVs, and the final winner gets the sweet set. Take the extra $1,000 to pay off the hall and other expenses.
GENIUS!!!
Waaait a second here. Do you mean that people watch football and drink BEER! My god! I’m going to have to try that!
Heh, not only that, but any females in the are? The look good and bring you beers and nachos and stuff–and they smile while they’re doing it!!
Good God, that post was a MESS!
Well, I don’t have a plasma, but I have a 56" JVC HDTV. Go Hawks! I hate the Steelers. (I’m a native Houstonian, remember Love ya, Blue? Ain’t no Steeler fans around here…)
But they’re around here.
You’re speaking from another city where the team left town. I’m sorry, at least you might have a decent draft this year- unless they screw it up.
lions fan checking in.
i couldn’t get tickets if i sold a testicle and ahalf, donated my sperm AND my blood to science and emptied my bank account (currently at $0.00)
so i’ll be watching on a regular old tv.
…when it’s my freaking home town
…and when i’m in buffalo.
talk about misery
I’m confused.
You claim to be a fan, and yet you have an inferior TV set.
What have you been doing with your money? Buying the kids food?
Heh!
I’m a Bills season ticket holder and I had to watch FOUR years in a row on crappy inferior TV’s.
I can do better. I’m an Ottawa Renegades fan. They can’t even make the playoffs in the CFL, where 6 out of 9 teams are in!
Your bravery is an inspiration to us all.
Doesn’t change the fact that you’re still a Texans fan, but a brave one!

Perhaps you need to be.
