Bears fan begins name change


Scott Wiese is a man of his word. But soon his friends will be saying that about Peyton Manning.


Scott Wiese is a man of his word. But soon his friends will be saying that about Peyton Manning.

Wiese, a die-hard Chicago Bears fan, will legally change his name to that of the Indiana Colts quarterback. He signed a pledge in front of a crowd at a Decatur bar last Friday night, vowing to adopt Manning’s name if the Bears lost Sunday’s Super Bowl.

“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?”

This is why I rarely bet more than 25 cents!
