Somehow, I'm not surprised that this happened in a bar.
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.
As the loser of one of these silly bets (I wound up doing laundry for five years after a "can't lose" bet with my wife), I can appreciate the confidence that he felt when he made that wager.
So Tuesday, Wiese went to the Macon County Courts Facility and started the process of changing his name.
You've kept your honor, Scott... er, Peyton.
