Change.org petition to enforce TB Bucs fan's bet

[tiger7_88]

As many (most?) on this forum know, many years ago just after Cam was drafted, a know-nothing named Jim Folsom posted an article on Bleacher Report saying that Cam would be the biggest overall #1 pick ever and that he would never be as good as The Golden Calf of Bristol.  He even made a bet in that article about if Cam was the starter for the Panthers for the 2016 opener, he would buy a Panther's #1 jersey and stand outside Buc's stadium in his underwear with the jersey.

Well, now there's a Change.org petition demanding BR to make their "writer" pay up... lol.

The derper, Jim Folsom, has responded on Twitter...

Seems like he is still insisting upon conditions not previously agreed upon to pay up.  Not surprising, since he's obviously a loser.  :)))

I'm no lawyer, but I wonder if a public declaration of intent such as that could be considered an oral contract that he would be legally obligated to uphold.

If it was an oral contract, the only way I could see him getting out of it is the underwear part (especially for a fat loser like him) could be considered "public indecency" and you can't legally contract for an illegal act.

Actually on second thought, it was written not oral, so not an oral contract. But something of the sort.

Same possible "out" would apply though, and you better believe this loser would jump on it too.

In hindsight, that's one of the funniest articles ever written about Cam. Fantastic read, and feels like an article from The Onion rather than a respected website such as Bleac...oh, wait. Still a funny read.

It says 2016. That's next season.

Yes and Cam is under contract to be the starting QB for your Carolina Panthers through 2020 I believe?  

100+ million iirc.

I can't believe our fanbase spends time thinking about this poo when we're having our best season ever.

Or this postseason.

So the guy wants other people to foot the bill for him to attend an NFL playoff game?  Hell, if that works I might have to write some incredibly stupid poo on BR and see if I can work out a similar deal.

He needs to go to the Buc's stadium and we need a video.
