Friendly Wager?

When Scott and I first got together, we, like normal couples, discussed our love for our sports teams. He was a diehard Raider fan, of course, as well as a Pistons fan. He didn't really have a preference of baseball teams, but seeing where he was from Michigan, he usually just rooted for the Detroit Tigers.

I put an end to that quickly by insisting that he convert to a Red Sox fan. This conversion came at a price, however. He would become part of the vast Red Sox nation (actually I believe the year he became a fan is the year that they broke away from the curse and won the World Series), but I had to become a fan of one of his teams. There was no way in hell that I was going to be part of Raider Nation (that only happens once a year when the Raiders play the Chargers) and seeing where I hadn't followed the Celtics since the 80's during the Laker wars, I adopted the Pistons as my team.

I can hear Christy hissing through her teeth. Seeing where the Pistons have dropped Game 1, a wager is of course in her best interest. So what'll it be Christy? If the Celtics take the series, what do you want? And when the Pistons advance, what do we want? Shall we place a friendly wager?

I know that you are secretly wanting the Celtics to win. You would never fully be routing for a non-Boston team :) You are a closeted Celtics fan! Robin, come out of the damn closet!!!

I'm still waiting for you to grow some balls and make a wager....

What? You don't want to put anything on the line now that the series is tied 2-2????

Typical wussy bitch.
