Dallas Blogger's Guarantee, Now looking for a way out...

OK, this is a fun one.

A blogger from the Dallas Stars, who also happens to double as their color man (ok, maybe that needs to be turned around), Darrel Reaugh, who calls himself Razor, has himself in a bit of a pickle. On his blog called “Razor with an Edge” he guaranteed a Stars win in last night’s season opener.

Now, guaranteeing a win is one thing, being silly enough to guarantee a win and promising that he would “purchase every fan in attendance a ticket to another game should the unthinkable unfold and the Stars lose to the Predators this weekend. (won't happen...but if it does...)” The guarantee didn’t work as the Preds took a 3-2 decision.

Planting my tongue firmly in cheek here... I’ll give him credit for audacity. But any credit he receives goes out the window with his attempt to weasel out of the commitment in his posting today called “They’re Winners in My Eyes.”

He attempts to worm his way out by calling the Stars winners in various stats. He even tries to avoid the term “welcher” by saying “And before you try to attach "welcher" to my name please give your head a shake and realize that simply by being in the building for a season opening game, as part of a sellout crowd, on a night that saw the Stars rally to tie and send it to overtime - then OT again in the shootout, with all the thrills and twists and turns, amd all of it augmented by the swanky new high-resolution video boards, you in fact won - we all won - we're all winners - just like I promised.”

Way too funny.

Hey Darrel, you need to pay up!

I have to admit... I like how he's having fun with this... Stars fans, keep blowing up his mail box! Free tickets should be coming your way!
