SoCalSkins Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 While giving to the relief fund is an outstanding idea, everyone should help out and give the way they want and I don't see the correlation between donating to ES. I have donated to the relief effort though my employer and I was very happy to do so and will probably give more in the near future. As far as this thread, the bets were placed as a way to say thanks to the staff and help off set the costs of running ES, now that the merger has taken place and the "make a donation" buttons are gone, I think it would be disingenuous to specifically mandate that the pledges that were made in this thread to go to a specific cause. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartskins Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 SoCalSkins has it I think. Separately, if we can dole out $150 to ES, then we can certainly make separate donations to relief funds if we so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
refuze Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I don't really know if ES is going to need the money anymore, given that their future hosting will be provided by Redskins.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartskins Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The Staff has been discussing a way that we could all, or at least most of us, could benefit from the money. Die Hard, among others, have been thinking of ideas. This is still a moot point until the season is over as none of the bets will vest until then.

Heavy Jumbo Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Most of these wagers won't come to fruition until after the regular season is over, though. Good thought:cheers: I didn't really think of that. I'm sure most here will have donated to the relief efforts by seasons end anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 SoCalSkins has it I think. Separately, if we can dole out $150 to ES, then we can certainly make separate donations to relief funds if we so choose. i just think, if there is like 35,000+ registered users, of which probably 10,000+ still continue to look on the site, as well as a lot of visitors, even if we all just donate like 3$ on paypal, that could translate to $45,000 (assuming about 15,000 members go in). That could be plausible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Flames Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 25 bucks if you do make the playoffs. hey 36, why don't you borrow some of T.O's money, and up the ante a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rincewind Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 i think SoCalSkins can go ahead and pay the $50 for Ramsey not throwing for 3000 yards this season (that is unless Patrick has one hell of a second half) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
