He is a damn millionaire that opened his mouth and made a promise to a fan. It is a load of BS if he can't take care of this SIMPLE matter.

Yeah, I switched back to being a hardcore wingnut when no one was looking. :)

All kidding aside, so what? If I walk up to someone on the street and say "hey, if I don't drop dead tomorrow, I'll come to your house and give you $5000" does that mean I'm now obligated?

He wasn't asking the guy to do anything, asked him for no benefit and caused him no detriment.

As a wise man once said, "fuck 'em if they can't take a joke".

Exactly!!!

yes...yes it does.




(unless you are a fucking dirt-bag liar assh0le)

the guy was willing to sell his bike to get a ticket when the offer was made..

the only thing you truly own is your word...unless you're Harris.

Apples/Oranges

Without reviewing the UCC (although I doubt it applies), I say Psychobabble and Harris have a K. This sounds like a hypothetical from 1L contracts.

Come on! Bottom line, put your money where your mouth is. If I, a lowly fan would make a promise to someone, I would damb well make sure I could fulfill that promise before I made it. Otherwise, I'm and pussy.

Sell a harley to go to the Super Bowl? Effing loser.

Where's the consideration?

This makes Harris look like a jerk for a number of reasons:
1. If he was just talking crap because he didn't think he'd ever have to pay up.... no faith in his team, right?
2. His word. I mean, why say it if you didn't mean it?

I hear that...but still..that was the comment that sparked the offer..

i'm getting ready to rebuild my super sport...

WTF is going on here? Is this some kind of sick joke you all are playing on me? Did I accidentally login to www.bizzarrochiefsplanet.com?

That guy started the joke by saying he'd sell his harley to go the SB. (I suppose if he had said he'd sell his right arm, you'd be trying to hold him to that too?) So Harris plays along for the camera by saying he'd give the guy SB tickets, and now all the sudden it's his "word of honor" (or some other stupid a$$ platitude from a mafia movie) and he's now a piece of shit for not following through?

Thank God our legal system doesn't work this way -- if you think there's too much frivilous litigation now, lets put you guys in charge and see how long it takes to increase by a factor of, say, 10,000.

Why? Both were promises made without consideration or reliance.

Too bad Harris is already in the NFL, I'm sure Nick Saban would love to have him.
