or Cowboys Vs. Eagles

As much as I loathe Bagofleas for sending out his critters of destruction to destroy my chances of winning the coveted top spot for the New Mutants two years in a row. I now have to hear Screenwriter3D talk up his vaunted Dallas Cowboys. I mean seriously how does this man call himself a New Yorker and cheer for such a vile despicable excuse of a football team. At least I love my home town team no matter how bad they suck, but the gauntlet has been thrown.

Our two teams are tied in first place for the NFC East. Of course they are tied at 3-3 respectively, unlike Andy Reid's new team of 6-0. I love hearing my fellow Philadelphians squawk about that one. Let's face it, that's why they say Any Given Sunday...I think. I'll be honest, I'm not a stats kind of guy. I don't know my sports since I never paid attention to my father try to get me to sit next to him and watch the game. Nope, I wanted to go okay with my Star Wars figures.

As time went by I had an excuse to watch sports. I had a son and I felt that if he ever wanted to know about them I wanted to teach him. I began my sports journey some twenty years ago. My father finally shed a tear, his boy would put away those lousy comic books and begin talking home runs, touchdowns, and goals. Of course it didn't happen like that.

I started to watch sports more often and now I am at a point of take it or leave it. For instance last weekend I would have rather been exactly where I was, at the NYCC instead of watching football. Of course my father was watching the game. And if you want to know stats, he's the person to ask.

Anything can happen within the allotted time limit of any sport, especially football, including the Eagles decimating the Cowboys. A friend of mine (he's dead now) and I always bet on the Eagles games. I always picked my favorite team while he picked the opposition. The wager, a $1 per game. I was up six dollars after four years, then he passed away.

Since then I have never found a sucker since, until now. The vaunted Screenwriter3d will go down. His love for Angela will have him seeing Heaven while his team goes through Hell as he realizes how bad he will lose.

So here is what I propose Mr Screenwriter, the loser for one day at NYCC 2014, or a show we will both be at if before the NYCC arrives (provided I am not working for cgc) has to be the spot holder for getting signature series books done. IF you win, I will wait with you and either run back to CGC to get a witness or wait in line for you to do so, but WHEN I win you will do the same for me. This is not valid for Saturday since I feel that will be our busiest day. What say you?

Ps. The he's dead now was a reference my friend would use while telling me a story, and if the story told was about a deceased colleague or buddy, he would follow with "He's dead now." I felt it only proper since I told a story about him, I would honor his memory and throw the terminology in because, well, um...he's dead now.
