  1. my suggestion is late in coming.....keep you mouth shut and enjoy the thought.....and 'it' didn't ruin her christmas, you did by 'criticizing' the gift...at least that is my humble opinion

     

    I didn't criticize the gift at all..... I actually told her the idea for the gift was perfect. The painting cost with framing like $700.... That is a lot of money for something I am not going to hang on my wall..... If I can get her the money back some how I would rather do that then pretend like I love this and hang it on my wall..... I would rather her use that to pay for this semesters tuition....

  2. Was it a painting of Mickey Mouse getting his ass kicked by Bugs Bunny? :ph34r::devil:

     

    That's funny.....

     

    There isn't a update yet.... I post on my iPhone because the Internet isn't hooked up yet at the new house they are coming this weekend..... I will post a picture and eBay link then....

  3. Another good idea.

     

    I think before you do that, try ebaying it. You can set a reserve that needs to be met in order for the auction to go through. So you could set it at $400, and if you dont make your money back fully, then do the bar raffle.

     

     

    Just a suggestion.

     

    Yeah it's going on eBay tonight for sure

  4. I just thought of an idea...... I am going to look into going to.a pats bar and see if the owner will let me raffle it off.... I will give him some of the money but those bars get pretty packed maybe do it for $10 a ticket over the next couple of weeks and see if I can get close braking even.....

  5. Tell her you love it, and hang it up!

     

    I tried to tell her I loved it but it was eating away at me and I couldn't hide it..... She knew I didn't and the painting cost $400 plus the cost to frame it....

     

    well J.P is out of the NFL and Seymore is in Oakland so I think you're screwed when it comes to selling it- might make a good gun-range target maybe you could charge people to shoot it- there exists in buffalo a certain about of desire to shoot both Losman and the Pats

     

    I think it will be ok.... Although I love your idea because I love shooting but it doesn't have any names on it just numbers... I think I will be able to sell it but probably won't get what she paid.... Hopefully some what close

  6. upload a pic of the painting!

    I will when I get home from work... I am not exactly sure if it's Seymour know that I think of it...... I haven't seen it since Christmas..... I only looked it for a few minutes..... Kinda made me sick when I realized the image...

     

    Any woman tolerant enough to live with a Bills fan ranting, raving, cursing, and throwing things 16 Sundays a year is a good woman ;)

     

    Very true because I do all that every Sunday.....

     

    who sold it to her? I'd be ticked at them, if it was a sports memorabilia shop, and she went in asking for a Bills picture.

     

    She bought it from some artist..... I am pissed about that. I am going to try and email him and see if he is willing to try and fix it..... I doubt it though... All sales final kinda thing.

     

    One thing I forgot to mention is that I bought her a disney painting about the same size and had it custom framed so we both had the same ideas..... Mine was perfect so she thought hers would be too... She got even more excited then when I opened it she knew it wasn't.....

  7. I will check out redbubble.com when I get home from work. It's a really nice piece and think it will sell I just don't know how kong it will take.

     

    She likes baseball so I told her it was like a player from her favorite team getting struck out or tagged out. Then she understood... When she gave it to me she said "why don't you like it the Bills player has the football". Bless her heart she tried. I also told her that the intent was perfect but she just picked the wrong image. I am going to email the artist and see if he will be willing to take it back and then I will pay him to do another one. One that is more appropriate for my home. I doubt he will take it back but most artists want their work to be displayed proudly so maybe I can convince him.

     

    I can see the humor in it. I did marry a good one. I was shocked she bought it for the living room. At the new house I am going to have a "Bills room" for all my memorabilia. She said I can put bills stuff through out the house as long as it's tasteful so she wanted to get me something that she thought would be nice. She doesn't want autographed mini helmets in the livingroom....

     

    I will tell her you applauded her effort. She will appreciate that.

     

    You shouldn't have told her. She obviously put a lot of effort into it so you should have hung it up and you would have had a nice story to tell your Bills fan buddies :)

     

    But I guess ebay is your best bet now. Though shipping that could be a real B word.

    Craigs list local maybe to avoid shipping?

     

    I didn't want to tell her but she knew something was wrong and kept asking..... It was very expensive after the custom framing and stuff so if we can sell it and maybe get as much as we can for it that's what she wants.... It's huge and would be the center piece of the living room so any football fan would see it is wrong and say something. I would rather tell her know then someone tell her a year or so down the line. It would be worse. I stressed that I loved the thought but couldn't hang it up.....

  8. LOL, great story (for us, not you obviously)

     

    At least she tried!

     

    Yeah that's what I told her..... I was happy with the thought.... I guess that's what counts.....

     

    I am going to try eBay. And I guess I will google for pats message boards or something... It just sucks because it ruined her Christmas and it wasn't cheap....

  9. I am in a bit of a bind and am looking for a little help. Please only serious suggestions.

     

    On Christmas morning my wife gave me my gift. We just bought a new house and she wanted to get me something nice to hang up in the living room. So as I opened it I can see it was a very nice painting. I started to get excited when I seen a Bills helmet. Everything was perfect. Custom painting. Custom framing.

     

    The only problem is my wife doesn't really like football. Since she doesn't watch very much football she doesn't really know much about football. So the painting she picked out doesn't exactly depict a glorious image. She got a wonderful painting of J.P. LOSMAN GETTING SACKED BY RICHARD SEYMORE.

     

    The picture would be great if I was a PATRIOTS FAN. I finally told her why we can't hang it in my new house. She knew I wasn't exactly thrilled with it when I didn't react the way she hoped for. It was pretty expensive, so I need to sell this some how. If anybody has any real suggestions I would appreciate it.

  10. And if they play 18 games, the other road game would be 4th place AFC South (currently Houston).

     

    Been to NYG, NYJ, MIA, DAL, CIN, SD, HOU. So looks like my away game will be NE or KC.

     

    KC it is :)

     

    If Houston is a possibility I will consider going there also

     

    I might have read that chart wrong but if you look at the SD line it says they play Buff "away" and if you look at the Buff line it says SD "away" which is right? Did I look at it wrong? I am working so I am using my iPhone and don't have the time to stare at it...

     

    I looked again and it is wrong.... It says the Denver game is a home game for both teams.....

  11. http://www.scgffl.com/nfl_schedules/2011_nfl_sched.htm

     

    @KC, @SD, @NYG, @Dallas (rumor is possible Thanksgiving day game) @AFC North 4th place, so @Cin

     

    I might have read that chart wrong but if you look at the SD line it says they play Buff "away" and if you look at the Buff line it says SD "away" which is right? Did I look at it wrong? I am working so I am using my iPhone and don't have the time to stare at it...

    In Pro sports people shouldnt compare salaries. Teams pay based on what u mean to them....Goodnite yall

     

     

    :thumbdown::censored::wallbash:

     

    I think it happened like this...

     

    Donte: "I want Troy and Antrelle's money...."

     

    Nix: "Yeah they make alot and play your position..."

     

    Donte: "Thats why I want that kind of money..."

     

    Nix: "Well we want their stats...."

     

    Donte: "Well I have produced like them..."

     

    Nix: "Actually NO YOU HAVEN"T... See look right here... your numbers... Their numbers...."

     

    Donte: "Come on man... Its not fair to compare Stats... I am a leader..."

     

    Nix: "Lifes not fair..."

     

    Now that is just how I think it went down.. anybody care to add or change to what they think go ahead...
