A handsome offer that no one is ever going to collect on. A bar in Michigan is promising to pay patrons’ bar tabs if the Detroit Lions beat the Green Bay Packers today.
All you have to do is show up at The Pour House in Madison Heights, Michigan before kickoff, eat and drink until the game ends and if it ends in a Lions’ win, then you get your bar tab comped.
The owner is of course posing this as, hey, we’ve totally got a shot today. You could actually get all kinds of free booze and food!
In reality, he’s probably like, ha ha, this is a great marketing ploy which I will never have to pay for!
“There’s a lot of excitement around here about the Lions making the playoffs, possibly getting that first-week bye and being two weeks away from the Super Bowl,” said bar owner Rudy Jarbo. “I think this gives Lions fans an incentive to watch physically, mentally, emotionally and financially.”
On top of being the Detroit Lions, the Detroit Lions haven’t won in Wisconsin since 1991. So, good luck there.
If, of course, today is the day the sun shines on that dog’s ass, this bar would be out about $3,000 in costs and another $7,000 in profit.
