Two D.C. area men bet over which team would finish with more wins in 2007, the Phillies or the Brewers. The Phillies finished with more wins. As a result, Chris Jollay, a 36 year old Brewers fan, lost and lived as a homeless man for a week.
Luckily, D.C. news WUSA-9 is all over it:
According to the bet, Jollay was allowed to carry one bag of items. Christman approved all of the items. Jollay says, he carried 12 power bars and 100-calorie snacks, a disposable camera, $20 dollars, contact lens, a marker and pen, and a bottle of Jack Daniels.
“I brought a big bottle of that, just to pass the time. Especially when it was cold…made the nights go faster.”
What could Jollay have won if the Brewers had finished with more wins than the Phillies? Per WUSA 9: “I would have gotten to move in with [Christman’s] wife. She’d have to cook me dinner and I’d go to her slumber parties and [Christman would] move into my place,” Jollay says.
Touche.

How to say goodbye to the Wisconsin legend that is Brett Favre? Well, other than a life-sized statue made entirely of cheese, this giant corn maze will have to do. (Or would it be giant maize maze?). It’s fitting, too; because visitors will take a confusing, roundabout journey where each new turn leads to a dead end; just like the Favre story itself. If you build it, they will come.
The maze was developed by Carlene and Duane Schultz of Elva, Wis., and will open to the public on Sept. 1. Yes, they want you to stop by and give their maze a whirl. (Closed during winter). Be sure to also visit the Mark Chmura Hot Tub Adventure (children 15-under free), and the Paul Hornung kissing booth.

It’s only speculation as to how many gay relationships have been started because of Brady Quinn. After all, his photo has been used to promote the M4M gay dating service for a couple of months now on Facebook pages across our great land.
A topless — and really, really hot — photo of the Cleveland Browns quarterback has been used to promote a dating website for months. The only problem — nobody cleared it with Brady! A rep for the Cleveland Browns tells us Brady had no knowledge of the ad saying, “He was not involved in posting photos.”
Brady’s lawyer has already taken action and has sent a cease and desist letter to the website today, demanding all photos of him be removed ASAP.
I found this item over at TMZ, and as nearly as I can figure, it was Towleroad which first found the photo. Well played, gentlemen.
