At BJJ, a guy I used to roll with (he's still going, I'm still trying to get back) is from Boston and a huge fan of all the Boston teams.
Other than that, he's a great guy. He's a guard at the local prison, his wife also rolls in the class and they have the cutest little baby girl. Really nice folks. Other than the whole Boston fan...thing.
Anyway, I go to pick up my son at BJJ and I ask him about the whole Brady penalty thing and he says, "he won't serve any games"
Says he'd bet me $1000 that Brady won't serve any games. Now... firstly, I promised the wife 25 years ago before we got married that I wouldn't gamble because I knew I was an addict before I ever really jumped down the hole and other than $20 in Vegas and the occasional lottery ticket, I've kept that promise.
So no cash. That's when he made it hurt. I said, "fine, let's make it a Gentleman's bet"
"Okay. If I win" he says, "you have to wear a Brady jersey and post it on Facebook"
I'm thinking, Lord Almighty... I'll go into Anaphylactic shock having to wear that damn jersey. But I took it. Because even if Goodell reduces the penalty, I win. The only way I lose is if Brady serves NO penalty.
So, I need an equally devastating, yet not over the top side for the wager. I thought about him wearing a Jets jersey, but I don't own one and I'm not dropping $100 for a dumb bet. Plus, in the near future, I'll be rolling with him and I don't want it to sting so bad that when he gets me in an armbar, he conveniently doesn't feel my first tap...
Any ideas? It's got to be as bad as wearing a damn Brady jersey and posting that crap on Facebook (dear Lord...), but understand he's a county employee who works in the prison system and anything that ends up on social media has to not put his job in jeopardy.
