When Proposition Betting Goes Bad - I Hate You Ron Turner
December 14th, 2007 by Jeremy Enke
I often wonder what it feels like to be a prisoner on death row with a few months left to go. Although I am not days away from being executed, I am a couple months away from losing my hair. Some of you may remember before the NFL season started that I made a bet with my neighbor. The bet was that the Chicago Bears would finish this season with a better record than the Packers.
At the time this seemed like a great prop. After all, the Packers sucked last year, and the Bears almost won the Superbowl. Plus it would have been great seeing my neighbor fly a gay flag in his front yard for a seven days. Well, here we are after week 15 and my loss is imminent. Initially I was just going to get it over with and shave my head this weekend. After further review however I am going to wait until Superbowl Sunday. What a great way to end a dismal season eh…..<——-(not Canadian)
I blame losing this bet solely on the Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner. I don’t even think he could coach the local community college to a winning season, let alone an NFL team. His play selections are horrible. Mr. Turner, if for some reason you ever come across this post while searching your name in google, please click here immediately. Although considering my bet, I will be waiting for you when you get there.
My wife was not to thrilled about the prospect of me showing up at Christmas gatherings this year looking like a skin head. And actually now that I think about it, I am probably going to be speaking at CAP Euro, so I mine as well wait.
Note to self, no more proposition betting pre-season while intoxicated. Have a great weekend!
And prepare for a potential BIG ANNOUNCEMENT on this blog next week………….Oh the suspense.


I suppose an “About Me” page is where you would expect to read a third person professional write up on myself. Hmmm…. well that’s not really my style, so I’ll just go ahead and tell you “about me” in my own words.

Poop having to shave your head.
Has anyone ever said you look like Erick Lindgren?

I think that if I ever make any Prop bets with you, I will insist that the date of payoff will have to be stipulated.
I think it is very cheezy of you to wait until after CapEuro…LOL…That sounds like something a Cheesehead Packer fan might do….eh?

You need to post your weekly prop bets man, so we can steer clear of all of them.

No I will be bald on Feb. 3rd, shortly after I get home from London.

At least one thing you have in common with Phil Hellmulth. Be odd if someone sees you like that for the first time and then runs into you a year later.
