Chicago Bears • Indianapolis Colts

Scott Wiese, You Sir Are No Peyton Manning (But You Could Have been DeDe Dorsey)

Macon County Judge Katherine McCarthy ruled this week that Bears fan Scott Wiese can’t legally call himself Peyton Manning, claiming that it might cause confusion and infringe on the privacy of the Indianapolis Colts quarterback.

Before the Super Bowl (where the Bears were thumped soundly by the Colts) Wiese apparently signed a pledge in front of a bar full of people that if the Bears lost, he would change his name to match the Colts player who led Indy to victory.

“I had told the judge that I was not doing this because I wanted to change my name, but I was doing it because I was honoring a bet,” Wiese told the Decatur Herald & Review after Monday’s ruling. “I think she understood that.”

So need to feel sorry for poor Scott. It could have potentially been worse, though, if any of the following Colts had had a huge Super Bowl:

Devin Aromashodu

Albert Bimper

Tanard Davis

DeDe Dorsey
