Not everyone on Blowout is an old man, fat slob or scrawny nerd. Just because some of us think we can gain 1/2 a yard per carry. Doesn't make us liars.

I'm still 6' tall and 250 pounds. I played Full Back and Linebacker all through school, and then Semi Pro. I may be 40, but I bet my knees can hold up for 10 plays and 5 yards.

Just because you might not be able to do it. Doesn't mean none of us could.

Give me the ball coach!

The form you're using to tackle that baby makes me think you would struggle.

Joking aside, I just think of me trying to escape Myles Garrett. Even if you added two inches to my height, 20 more pounds of muscle and 20 years off my age... I just think it would be a disaster.

I think it's a very male thing ( I do it too) to watch something and think, I could do that. But I am not a pro running back. The tiniest top percentile of those who ever touched a football are pros. I actually think I would get hurt trying.

if we take sneaks out of the equation and say we are playing against a base defense. I'm probably not getting 5 yards.

But the Pros don't average 1/2 a yard a carry. They are much, much better than that.

If the bet was to get a 1st down (10 yards, 4 plays) I would have taken the Million. But 10 plays for 5 yards? I can stretch a few times, before my knees hit the ground. Miles Garret be damned!

I guess there's nothing saying you couldn't bribe the defense.

Even if I didn't get the 5 yards, I'd still wind up with game experience, jersey, helmet, Panini Instant/Topps Now cards (dumbest fan who thought they could gain 5 yards on a professional NFL defense debut), and 1/17th of the NFL minimum ($705,000 for 0 years of experience) so a game check for $41,470. Plus I'd have stories for YEARS about how cool Justin Fields is in the locker room, or Eberflus' pregame speech made me want to run through a brick wall, how fast and how hard NFL players hit (so fast and so hard!), etc.

Who knows, after they cut me the team goes on to win the Super Bowl and I'd get a ring too. The odds aren't great, but they aren't 0 either .

Nope. Liar.

You have a 0.00% chance

Now the real question is, how much would Joobs pay to watch Grid try to win $10 million?

I’ll give him 10-1 odds

He gets 10 yards? He can have my million I’m getting by not doing this

He can’t? He has to pay me $100K out of his own pocket (since he won’t be getting the 10 million)

All day long. Free money

Do I get to pick the defense I go against?

You are going against the Chiefs.

(Chiefs fans will go against the Patriots.)

There is no way in hell I am risking injury (and possible surgery, pain meds for the rest of my natural life) for an extra $9 million.

Just hand over the $1 million and I'll be on my merry way. Better yet, I'll take the $1 million in gold coins/bars

You get a million dollars' worth of Kyle Trask cards.

Fine, but when I collect the Peli-case of Kyle Trask cards, I will be naked and covered in gooch grease.

Your move.

Gimme a million

So I can sell them all to you for 999,999?

Easy

Am I on someone's block list? I'm not sure I know who that even is, making it even more surprising.

I'm picturing everyone's personal version of Paper Lion right now. And it's not pretty.

I don’t think he’s posted—he is just the only one who voted “naked and greased.”

I feel better. I know I annoy some people, but I don't think I'm block-worthy.

Anyone who blocks you deserves the triangle for poor taste.

You and I need to have a beer sometime. You're good people.

Pretty sure the weight of that many Trask cards would collapse into a black hole.
