Its a difference. If I were wealthy...hell no I wouldn't even consider it. I know I said I'd take the World Series and I love the Sox like no other but I'd at least have to consider it (being I'm just out of college and starting off). At the same time I have very little doubt that I'm going to be sucessful in life (I'm a confident SOB).

 

Still were all diehards and lets agree on one thing...we'll take 5 bucks over a WNBA championship

I'm glad I don't have to worry about anything more than paying $100 a month for insurance/cell phone. Also, free college tuition will be nice. Only a few more years before the real world.

I could use the 5 dollars toward................something.

The sad thing is it took more over 10 seconds to think about this one.

 

5 Bucks is like lunch.

Sweet.

 

 

I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

bump for milkman

FOUR years ago?

 

Wow, I didn't think it had been that long. Nice bump.

$5 is the easy answer.

I saw this question posted on some other board and I'd like to see what most people would say. 5 bucks or WNBA title in Chicago (or wherever you live)?

 

Honestly, and I thought about this for a little while, I'd take money.

 

Haha, did you add that, knight?

I'd easily take the $5. And, I'd have to say that there are things more important in life than the Sox; one of them is money, and me being able to buy a new car to replace my old '92 Ford Taurus that doesn't have a working radio or power locks and has engine mounts that are loose, so if I accelerate too fast, my engine will just fall out.

 

You ever get a replacement?

 

5 bucks

Lauren Jackson

Sox World Series, although we could probly use the money for college...

 

Wow, what happened to this poster? Haven't seen him in years.

How much interest would you have accrued over that 4 year period if you took the money I wonder?

You ever get a replacement?

Haha, yeah, I did. Rereading that brought back great memories of my 1st car (even as crappy as it was, I loved it). I have an '02 Taurus now.

Haha, did you add that, knight?

Nope. I just added the poll.

Since I work for one I should say the WNBA 'ship. On the other hand, I don't get paid. I'll take the $5.

I would take the white sox championship over the 100,000 but catch the next flight to vegas and put everything i own down on the sox winning the world series then get more than 100,000 and the championship

This would've worked out beautifully

 

Also, since this thread was started before the Sox won it all and before I posted here, I'd take the 100k either before or after. I'm as much of a die-hard as anyone, but hell, it's just baseball. That feeling of deliriousness fades eventually. Nearly slicing my mortgage debt in half, that would not.

My updated answers:

 

$5 over the WNBA Title

Lauren Jackson over Sue Bird (though she's only slightly shorter than me, so that'd be weird)

Still the $100,000 over the Sox WS since they did win in 05

The Sox won the WS 4 years ago. Gimme the 100K and the 5 bucks over WNBA title.

$100,005 please.

A championship over $100,000? So you'd rather a team filled with players who are making millions of dollars, players you know nothing about other than when you see them play a game, win a championship than for you to have $100K, which sadly would still just be a fraction of what those players make?

 

Give me the money, pre 2005 and post-2005.

Give me the 5 bucks

 

Give a World Series pre 2005

 

Give me the 100 K post 2005

I would be 100,005 bucks richer...

 

Don't get me wrong but I've been blessed as a Bears ('86),Bulls ('90s) and Sox (05) fan to watch my fave team win championships...there are many fans out there that haven't even seen of of their hometown teams win one,ask Cleveland fans for starters.

This thread was made before the Sox won in 2005.

 

Would you take money over the 2005 Series?

Would you take money over the 2005 Series?

lol, dunno why I asked that question when I posted it, but it made for a fun thread.

Give me the 5 bucks and the 100K

WNBA championship. My logic, $5 bucks is lunch but a championship would make some people who I've never heard of really happy so good for them.

 

About the Sox, would I give up ever winning the title for the $100k or would the Sox get to the WS and lose in a heartbreaking fashion because of me and we'd start fresh. Honest answer, give me the $100k.

That was my initial thinking, and that's why I put so much thought into it. I felt guilty that I would take a small amount of money over something that would potentially fulfill the life's dream of some people, but given all of that, I'd still take the money.
