A Judge Ruins A Great Bet
We all remember the Chicago Bears fan that lost the infamous bet that resulted in him legally changing his name to Peyton Manning. Unfortunately it appears that Scott Wiese won't be able to pay up, as yesterday Macon County Judge Katherine McCarthy disallowed the name change. Why would she not allow it? "Because it would be too confusing and might infringe on the privacy of the Indianapolis Colts quarterback.
It would be too confusing? Is she serious? How is it possible to confuse some average Joe from Chicago with arguably the greatest quarterback of all-time, who also happens to be in more television commercials than Lewis Scott? I'm not really sure if this woman is qualified to be a judge after assessing this situation so poorly. I hope this ruling gets overturned, if not for my personal enjoyment, for the integrity of humorous-based gambling everywhere.

Let's make a deal... if this doesn't get overturned, you change your name Rex Grossman. Deal??
And if this gets overturned will you change your name to Tank Johnson?
I already said the guy should change to Rex Grossman at SSReporters, but I'll go with Chris Henry as one of his options.
I'm taking matters into my own hands,
which name should Wiese change to at www.ssreporters.blogspot.com
On an a different but related subject, I believe there was a guy in Enlgand who changed his name to 'Hong Kong Fuey'.
Personally I think he should have been disallowed because it infringes on Monsieur Fuey's canine rights.
And if this gets overturned will you change your name to Tank Johnson?
Deal.
