DECATUR, Illinois (AP) -- 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.

More at the link, I just pasted an excerpt to stay legal as far as © is concerned!

That's as bad as that woman that camped for 6 months before the first of the new Star Wars movies and legally changed her name to Obi Wan Kenobi.

What are a weird bet.

There are a lot of kids (http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/football/article/0,1406,KNS_321_5328268,00.html) in this area named Peyton stemming from Manning's playing days at UT. One of my former roommates named his girl Peyton.

I'm a fan, but not that kind of fan.
