DECATUR, Ill. -- He doesn't want to do it, but die-hard Bears fan Scott Wiese is changing his name.

The 26-year-old man from Forsyth, Ill., told friends that if his beloved team didn't win the Super Bowl, he'd become Peyton Manning after the Indianapolis Colts star quarterback.

He even signed a petition in front of 200 people at a bar Friday night that he'd do it.

After the Colts defeated the Bears 29-17 on Sunday, Wiese started the process.

He trudged to the Macon County Courts Facility on Tuesday and filed the paperwork. The change still has to be approved by a judge.

Wiese said he really cares about the team and that his sacrifice represents the true passion of Bears fans.

Couldn't he have just bet that he'd wear an Indy jersey for a week like a "normal" person? :rolleyes: Good God.

this is stupid and a waste of courtroom time and resources.

especially when there are valid reasons for people to change their name.
