A Modest Proposal

Celtic have drawn Manchester United in the Champion's League and will face each other tomorrow in their first competitive match ever. They have played many friendly / exhibition matches in the past, but this time it means something.

Manchester United are heavy favorites. I think the odds were 33-1 the last time I looked. But miracles can happen.

So I propose the following: I will wager up to three months of board support that Celtic will get a result (as defined below).

What this means is that if Celtic lose, I will pay one month of board support (up to a total of three months) for each person (up to a total of 3) who accepts my wager.

If Celtic draw, you pay. If Celtic win, you pay.

Here is the catch: the game will be carried live tomorrow at 2:30 PM on ESPN2. You have to watch the game. I don't care if you Tivo it or tape it or whatever and watch it later. But in order to collect you will have to demonstrate to me that you watched the game by showing some non-googleable knowledge of the match -- this can be done by either volunteering some piece of information that proves you watched it or answering a question or two that convinces me you saw it.

Any questions? Any takers?

Note: this offer is not open to minors or residents of the Land of Fu.
I would take you up on this as I am pretty confident Celtic will get spanked. But I am still smarting from my only-recently-satisfied World Cup debt. More importantly, I will be unable to catch the game tomorrow.
