"Regarding the football wager: It appears that neither of our teams will make the playoffs, thus creating a tie. What a shame. Looks now that neither of us will get a free 'night on the town.'"

Nonsense!
All depends on what the meaning of, "tie" is, sultan.
Remember: *I'm* "The Judge," & that boy's firmly entrenched in my doghouse.

Must I remind you I'm much more corruptable than even his Lowness Clintigula, The Sink Emporer?

...so, here's where some real *local* politics comes into play. ;^)

"All depends on what the meaning of, "tie" is, sultan."

As interpreted by the New Jersey Supreme Court and upheld by the SCOTUS, if neither Mudboy Slim's team nor the Sultan's team make it to the playoffs, then it's a tie. The wager is who goes further in the playoffs.

Isn't that so, oh great and powerful and wise judge?

I have here a large can of fresh, unopened Virginia peanuts. Would you like them, sir??
