why did burt rapp have blackdog on the sign?

[EDub11]

what was the reasoning?

[topgame85]

For JJ, JJ plays there and loves it except when they call him to tell him hes near his figure haha I dunno why he would put it on there if he was at the game with his bookie though, I think advertising another bookmaker could get you whacked the guy he was with didn't look like he messed around

[EDub11]

forsue i dont think i seen him smile 1 time haha...what kind of limit does jj have there

[BurtRapp]

I held up the BlackDog sign because they are a first class outfit and I wanted to thank them for being so. BigBlack Dog is a stand up guy- David, Sam and the boys are AWESOME..

[EDub11]

yeah i play there and love them dont forget about gigi...she is the best..would love to take her out on a date! i had everyone in east lansing rooting/watching for u here

[BurtRapp]

Guys I have a ton of ideas as soon as I get these seats again. Next home stand I'm shooting for.

[topgame85]

JJ has like $250

[EDub11]

so all the talk about him being broke and shit ...thats just making fun of the guy or what? haha burt those are damn good seats people will never sit there in there life time

[topgame85]

No he has $250 credit he doesn't post up i think anyone could come up with $250 if they needed to If you can't come up with at least 1k when you really need it your not trying hard enough

[EDub11]

haha i remember being 16 needing to come up with 3400 and making it lol

[topgame85]

Yep beg borrow and steal when you really have to, and usually thats not even neccesary really just go on craigslist and do a couple odd jobs or mow some lawns or pick up a few extra hours or something

[EDub11]

you know it lol...pimp yourself out on there to them older women haha

[BurtRapp]

Those seats are the gentleman's with the gray hair in the shot.. 78,000 for the 4 seats. This includes : Buffet before the game, open bar at all times (some high end liquor), order anything off a menu at the seat comped. Parking right outside the gate (200 feet from entrance, able to exit parking lot from a road that no one else can go down. Lot of Comps.. Can't wait to go again..

[topgame85]

Haha no kiddin man I seen some companys hiring male escorts and thought about it that would be straight the older chicks pay for everything and usually they just want the company wont even have to sleep with them

[EDub11]

78000 for 4 seats 1 game????????

[BurtRapp]

season tickets pal,, Sorry for not mentioning that. 81 games

[EDub11]

lol i was going to say who would pay that for 1 game unless you were balling out of control...you said that is your bookie that was next to you?

[BurtRapp]

Just a good friend. WINK WINK.. Legalities sir.

[EDub11]

i understand haha...so was the food good or what..? where did the big guy go when u sat in his seat bottom 9th

[BurtRapp]

He left early. When you own those seats I think you get jaded. I am 280 pounds best believe I ate like a pig. Food was great. They had some sirloin that was awesome at the dinner. Lamb I didn't have it but they said it was good. Had about 3 hot dogs and maybe 6-7 rum and cokes. Good Times

[EDub11]

haha they were taking bets on how much you weighed on here...you were the highlight man

[jjgold]

I wonder if the guy next to Burt was Blackie??

He looked like him. The guy that owns Blackdog is about 70 or so

[EDub11]

looked like a stone cold killer

That i may say is not expensive at all.. i am serious. if you have a bit of cash, that is cheap.. 81 games for 4 people for 20,000 each.. i would eat for 20,000 in 81 days there alone. imagine if you like your alcohol too? a guy like richie can drink for 300 bucks a night, plus you get those seats 1st row behind the plate and be on Tv every time while all your buddies watch you all the time and envy the hell out of you.. just that alone is worth it right there.

i would only do this if they were those exact seats, not 7 rows back.. 20,000 per person for 81 games of all the food you want in a buffet and the alcohol, PLUS you watch 81 mlb games from that close.

That is a steal.. Now that's value for your dollar. Like i said, i would eat for 20,000 alone.

[EDub11]

guess you make a great point...and u can hold up signs sometimes haha

[jjgold]

Nicky where does Burty get that type of money? Most guys are broke here.

[EDub11]

not all of us...

[BurtRapp]

Not my seats pal. Just get invited sometimes.

[Nicky Santoro]

actually, the best part of it all would be that all your enemies out there who you hate and they hate you would have to see your face for 3 hrs every night sitting there looking happy, smiling, while you are eating, drinking and you're on tv sitting in the 1st row..

how much will they hate watching sox games having to see your face all the time for 3 straight hrs.. great way to get back at all your enemies. they have no choice but to see you.


they will hate you even more and will envy you.. PLUS, you might even be noticed on the street by some diehard fans.. you're like a celebrity. you're on the camera for 3 hrs almost every night.

[BIGBLACKDOG]

I held up the BlackDog sign because they are a first class outfit and I wanted to thank them for being so. BigBlack Dog is a stand up guy- David, Sam and the boys are AWESOME..

its members like you that that make blackdog what it is. thank you for your support and loyalty.

[SBR Lou]

Give him a freeplay for doing that you cheap ass.

[BIGBLACKDOG]

cheap i am not and burt and all of are members will tell you freeplay is part of the blackdog deal. when guys are getting beat up they get free play without even asking. whens the last time you logged into your account at another book and found 250 in your account just for being a loyal member.

[SBR Lou]

So in other words the guy holds up a sign with your companies name on it, and you aren't even going to give him an additional freeplay for it?

you dont buy loyalty you earn it. no free paly but i do know a few people in the windy city if burts up for it maybe ill send a little entertainment his way.

Not the way I would phrase it Crazyl, however I would have thought they would have gave him something for that free advertisement on a nationally watch super station like WGN.
