At BJJ, a guy I used to roll with (he's still going, I'm still trying to get back) is from Boston and a huge fan of all the Boston teams.

Other than that, he's a great guy. He's a guard at the local prison, his wife also rolls in the class and they have the cutest little baby girl. Really nice folks. Other than the whole Boston fan...thing.

Anyway, I go to pick up my son at BJJ and I ask him about the whole Brady penalty thing and he says, "he won't serve any games"

Says he'd bet me $1000 that Brady won't serve any games. Now... firstly, I promised the wife 25 years ago before we got married that I wouldn't gamble because I knew I was an addict before I ever really jumped down the hole and other than $20 in Vegas and the occasional lottery ticket, I've kept that promise.

So no cash. That's when he made it hurt. I said, "fine, let's make it a Gentleman's bet"

"Okay. If I win" he says, "you have to wear a Brady jersey and post it on Facebook"

I'm thinking, Lord Almighty... I'll go into Anaphylactic shock having to wear that damn jersey. But I took it. Because even if Goodell reduces the penalty, I win. The only way I lose is if Brady serves NO penalty.

So, I need an equally devastating, yet not over the top side for the wager. I thought about him wearing a Jets jersey, but I don't own one and I'm not dropping $100 for a dumb bet. Plus, in the near future, I'll be rolling with him and I don't want it to sting so bad that when he gets me in an armbar, he conveniently doesn't feel my first tap...

Any ideas? It's got to be as bad as wearing a damn Brady jersey and posting that crap on Facebook (dear Lord...), but understand he's a county employee who works in the prison system and anything that ends up on social media has to not put his job in jeopardy.
 
He has to style/cut his hair like this and post it on FB, while holding a deflated football.

Ya, this hair-do but add a Pinocchio nose. I'm thinking dressed up for a Oct 31 party. What the hell have him post a picture of himself from said party on Facebook thats got to stay up for 10 days..

My brother was saying the same thing that he doesn't think Brady will end up being punished and get off with no suspension. lol so i'd be careful taking that bet if I were you.
 
I like X's plan. He has to put a picture of himself holding a flat football on Facebook.

I gotta admit... I really like the idea of the "Something About Mary" haircut while holding a deflated football in one hand... maybe with a sign in the other saying "Brady Cheated"

So far that's winning...

I've seen that there are Brady jerseys for sale that say Deflater, Cheater, or Liar instead of Brady on the back. He should have to buy whichever one of these that you prefer and not only post a pic of him in it on FB... but he should be forced to wear it during the entire day of all games that Brady does serve a suspension for. Once the suspension is lifted, he must give that UNHARMED beautiful jersey to you.
 
He should have to do Brady's hair style and wear a Game Genie costume

That's my vote! Lol

If Brady fights this, the NFL track record against Jeff Kessler is not good.

If I was a betting man I would not take this bet. I think Brady gets off without a suspension.
 
@Mackeyser you're taking a bigger risk, history of being a gambling addict, than your Patriot loving friend. I like @flv 's idea but I would like to add that he gets hair extensions and ignite the jersey while he's wearing it.

Awesome idea!
 
The devils are in the details....
I bet a friend once that the Dodgers would have a better record than the Rockies....the loser had to get the other teams logo tattooed on them. He lost (of course). The tat stayed for a short period of time and then was quickly covered up. He even went with light coloring to allow for easier cover up. Its all about the terms of the bet.

I don't have an answer for you because I'm never cruel, but I would take the bet if I were you for two reasons.

The NFL is under WAY to much scrutiny right now to just let him go. All of the NFL except Patriots fans would be pissed. I'm pissed they got to keep both cheating super bowls. What is that?!

I think the key is that Brady himself is being punished because the investigation believes he made false statements that are countered by other witnesses and evidence and that he withheld electronic data that could have condemned or cleared him. He can't fix those. Even if he proved he didn't lie, which sounds unlikely, he still refused to cooperate with the investigators.

If a bet goes up on ROD, I'm betting the house he does at least a game.
