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.

You’re being a bit hard on the guy, Trini. I promise you, wearing that winged wheel logo in any way, and having someone photograph it, is punishment enough.

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.
