A bettor in the Delaware Sports Lottery was less than one half of football away from winning $100,000 on a $5 bet, but the Indianapolis Colts couldn't hold up their end of the deal....

The Colts, as you may recall, had a two-touchdown second-half lead on the Philadelphia Eagles but couldn't hold on, eventually losing 30-27. Tough news for their fans, even tougher news for the unnamed bettor.

See, he'd participated in Delaware's 15-team parlay, in which he bet on 15 different teams against the spread. And he'd won the previous 14, meaning all he needed to do was have Indianapolis win by a field goal or more. Alas.

"Honestly, we were rooting for the guy, starting with Sunday night's game," Delaware Lottery director Vernon Kirk told ESPN. "It was agonizing to watch when you knew one player was so close to such a big payout."

He's from Delaware and he picked the Dolts?!

1. Uhmmm. Even people from Dela-where hate the eaglets and will bet against them.

And the eaglets have a really good reason to be fucking hated.

Just sayin.

2. Um, our favorite Delawarian is a huge Iggles fan.

At least mine.

And I don't mean Wayne from Wayne's World.

And why do they "have a really good reason to be fucking hated"? In case you hadn't noticed, the dog killer is gone. To the Jests.

3. Yes. We all love LynneSin. But other than her, the rest of them

are nasty. BTW, the Dog Killer was there for a couple of years. 'nuff said.

5. I can't really see how

"And the eaglets have a really good reason to be fucking hated."

people hate them (unless they're Cowboys/Giants/Redskins fans). They haven't did squat worthy of hating on over the years. Even when they make the postseason, they've always ended up choking eventually.
