Bears fan follows through on vow, changing name
DECATUR, Ill. -- How do you spell Scott Wiese?
In a few weeks, that'd be P-e-y-t-o-n M-a-n-n-i-n-g. Wiese, a die-hard fan of the Chicago Bears, signed a pledge in front of a crowd at a Decatur bar last Friday night that if the Bears lost Sunday's Super Bowl, he'd change his name to that of the man who led the Indianapolis Colts to victory. Final score: Colts 29, Bears 17. So Tuesday, Wiese went to the Macon County Courts Facility and started the process of changing his name. "I made the bet, and now I've got to keep it," the 26-year-old Wiese said. Wiese will have to advertise his intention in the local newspaper -- the Herald & Review -- for several weeks and then have a judge give him the OK to become, legally anyway, Peyton Manning. The men have little in common, Wiese acknowledges. Manning is 30 years old, stands 6-foot-5 and has a contract with the Colts worth more than $100 million. Wiese is 5-foot-11 and works at an office-supply store for somewhat less. "I think I kind of represent all Bears fans," he said. "Not that I'm saying they're all idiots like me, but I represent their passion because I really care about my team, you know?"

Ha - ha (spoken in the voice of Nelson)
Maybe he should change his name to: Douche Bag.

Re: Bears fan follows through on vow, changing name
That's gotta be one of the best lines I've ever read....
"I think I kind of represent all Bears fans," he said. "Not that I'm saying they're all idiots like me, but I represent their passion because I really care about my team, you know?"

Re: Bears fan follows through on vow, changing name
I heard him on the DP show today. The funny thing about this is, there was no other side to the bet. If the Bears would of won he would of received nothing, other than the fact that his team won. Its also funny that his buddy is a lawyer that drew up the contract and had him sign it.
Its true he's honest, and its also true that he's an idiot. |

Re: Bears fan follows through on vow, changing name
I think Lou Zar would be more of an appropriate change.

Re: Bears fan follows through on vow, changing name
Hess, if we win the Super Bowl next year I think you should change your name to Mark Brunell!

Re: Bears fan follows through on vow, changing name
That thing has GOT to be full of loopholes though.
