This is where "Yinz" needed to clarify your rules. Now everyone missing out on a free 50 bucks. He'll go down again soon anyways so I'd eat the loss and get clarification.

I would also say that he misses half of another game because of injury, he has also cumulatively missed "more than one game". This interpretation is a little looser though |

Except that it does.
If the dude had a roster bonus for each game played, he'd get his roster bonus. It is what it is. If you wanted a bet based on percentage of snaps taken, then you should've made that bet. Otherwise, this one goes down as a 'game played' in the books, bucko. But c'mon - everyone knows you just welch on all your bets anyway.

Playing two snaps and then exiting does not constitute playing a game. As far as the spirit of the bet is concerned, this is a notch in my column.

If you're gonna be a bookie, rules are rules. There's not a stat keeper around that wouldn't call this a 'game played'. Besides, I don't think anyone took you up on it anyway, nor does anyone actually expect you to honor your bets.

Under Games and Games Started, he has a 5 in each column. If the bet were with me, I'd say that's a game played. Had he not done a single snap, then sure, you'd have a point and I'd agree with you, but he played at least 1 snap in the game. That's a game played in any record book and a game played as far as the bet, at least in my opinion. |

Wrong, the bet was made official with BWillie before the season.
And second, I honor all bets.

"He will not get injured, or at least enough to miss more than one regular season game"
If he misses next week entirely, I think he has missed "more than one game " |

Plus, we all know Watkins left the Detroit game early and missed more than two snaps.

If you look on his espn player card it says GP 5 for Sammy. It IS a game played. He has not missed a game yet in accordance to our bet. Very disappointing there is even a dispute. |

Eh, this goes under the same umbrella as the fanduel debacle. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Everyone knows who they're dealing with here. Making a bet with Clay and expecting it to go smoothly is no different than allowing Hootie to have a say in the outcome of pooled funds and expecting it to not go poorly.

I really hope there continues to be ambiguity here, but I'm starting to think Clay will have this wrapped up by week 8 if not sooner.
