Noted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
When the Penguins lost to Detroit, so did Post-Gazette editorial cartoonist Rob Rogers. He made a bet with Detroit Free Press cartoonist Mike Thompson that he’d don a Red Wings jersey if the Pens went down. Today, Rob made good on his wager.
Go here to see the video.
I have a pile of sympathy for that guy—I lost a similarly horrid bet about a year ago.

In addition to writing Canucks & Beyond and helping manage Kukla’s Korner, Alanah was one of the founders and co-hosts of The Crazy Canucks Podcast. She has contributed pieces to FoxSports.com and the New York Times Slapshot blog, as well as other stray destinations in cyberspace.
So that’s me. Who the hell are you?

How lame - he’s not even wearing a jersey. It’s a lousy t-shirt. A jersey shows more allegiance and causes much more hatred than a lousy t-shirt. I’d say this is a half-a$$ed attempt at payment.
But then again, maybe the guy talks about this. I didn’t listen to the audio.
