We don’t know why… but for some reason, this post makes us think of our buddy “Jingle” 🙂
As you know, the AFC championship game between the Chiefs and Patriots is at Arrowhead stadium on Sunday. Yesterday morning, I had a phone call from a business associate offering me 3 tickets in a luxury suite for Sunday’s game. A very generous offer! Since the forecast is for an outside temp of ONE DEGREE at kickoff, that’d be the only way I’d consider going to the game. I texted Ben at work to tell him about the offer and ask him what he thought. He said he’d talk with Dub at the next class break and text me back. He did… and I called my friend, thanked him profusely and declined the tickets. Here’s how Ben tells me his conversation with Dub went:
Ben: “David just texted me. He can get 3 tickets for the Chiefs’ game
Sunday. They’re in a luxury suite so we’d be inside and warm.”
Dub: “What about our friends? Can we take them?”
Ben: “There are just 3 tickets. It’d just be you and me and David.”
Dub: “Do we have to go?”
Ben: “No. But it’s a chance to be at the stadium to see the game in
person.”
Dub: “It wouldn’t be much fun if our friends weren’t there. Watchin’ it
with them is what’s fun.”
Ben: “If you’d rather, I can text David and tell him we’d rather invite
our friends over and watch the game at home with them.”
Dub: (grinning) “Yeah. That’d be good.”
So that’s the deal. We’ve invited everyone to our house to watch the game on t.v. Actually, I agree with Dub. It’s not watching the game that’s important – it’s watching it with friends! GO CHIEFS!
