OT-Knock Knock...who's there? Its the Reaper for Chewie 

Post#1 » by emperorjones » Wed Dec 17, 2008 2:50 pm

Chewie Chewie Chewie...time to give up the sig and admit that Gray has moved into the starting line up as the regular center and is not "spot" starting. Especially the game against the centerless Knicks (if Gray was Spot starting, Gooden would have started that game-Gray also started both games of a back to back). Our bet was that VDN would make him the regular stater which he is (I know you're waiting for him to screw up and get replaced - but its tooo late. He can't play worse and is still starting :D )

Lets save the embarrassment of me having to put a poll up on the Bulls board - because if I have too, I will also ask for suggestions for your sig - and you KNOW that will be bad. :o (actually, now that I think about it.... :lol: :lol: :lol: )

Doesn't the season have to end? If Gray stops starting now and doesn't start for the rest of the season no one would argue that he was the starting center, or did you guys have any clarity on what was meant by "starter". I would think if not otherwise stated that he would need to start at least half the games of the season.

Not that it matters to me, but Gray has only started 8 out of 24 games played so far. I don't know what your particulars are on the bet though, but I wouldn't consider him the Bulls starting center this season yet.

No, the bet was that he had to be the starting center by 12/31/08. Just not spot starts. His earlier starts were spot situational/match up starts. These last 5 (and tonight, he has been the regular starting center since Noah's & TT's highly publicized demotion). Funny - My actual reasoning for him starting was not because he's all that good, but because VDN would realize that Noah sucks and he had no viable option because TT would not be able to step in & start at PF. Gray's the best option.

The sig bet belongs on the Bulls board !!! The avatar bet belongs here.

And why would I concede before 12/31 ? That just leaves me with more time with an embarassing sig! And if Noah suddenly gets his job back prior to month-end, that would put a kink in things wouldn't it? I know, I know....it's not going to happen and I'm going to lose this one. I really thought I had this one in the bag, too.

Aaron Gray is the Bulls starting center. Wow. What a team. :nonono:

I can't root for the Packers - ever - but suffice to say I think the Texans will beat the Bears on the last week of the season and make your avatar mine. It'll be goodbye reaper and hello Backstreet Boys. :evil:
Turn down for what?

Yes it is a sad thing but...


:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

BTW, You need to concede when you believe that Gray is the starting center not on 12/31. 12/31 is MY concede date. For example. If Gray had been moved into the starting lineup November 1 and started until December 1, it would be silly to have had to wait until 12/31. 12/31 is when I would lose if Gray had not been the starting center.

Now, all I need is for the Bears to win 2 and your support for the 2010 Chicago gay Pride Parade will be COMPLETE!!!! :evil: WHAHAHAHAHAH WAHAHAHAHAHAH WAHAHAHAHAHA....haha. ha.. ummm... ha.

Return to Chicago Bears
