Abby Normal

This was a stupid bet. Plain and simple.

It is okay to root for your team. It is okay to be passionate. It is okay to be overzealous should your team make it to the championship. It’s okay to bet on your team . . . even if they’re the underdog in such a situation.

But what the hell is this guy thinking of betting his name?

Last Friday, before the Super Bowl, Scott Wiese made the following wager: if the Colts won, he would change his name to whoever led the Colts to victory. Wiese will change his name to Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

Wiese will have to advertise his intention in the local newspaper — the Herald & Review — for several weeks and then have a judge give him the OK to become, legally anyway, Peyton Manning.

This is certainly an example of a man who is beyond normal. Sheesh . . .

    I was one Brett Favre interception returned for a touchdown away from being Drew Bledsoe.
    It’s a good thing I didn’t make the same bet the next year or I’d be John Elway.
