Never Bet Against The Celtics
There was at least one Boston fan who was disappointed the Celtics beat the Lakers to claim the 2008 NBA Championship… Kevin Millar.
It seems Mr. Millar, late of the Boston Red Sox and currently with the Baltimore Orioles (although obviously he still considers himself part of Boston), made an ill-advised bet with an unnamed member of the Red Sox team on the outcome of the Finals. Unconfirmed reports can’t specify whether the Sox player in question was Jason Varitek or Tim Wakefield – but apparently, Kev bet against the Celtics.
And this was the result:
Apparently, not only did he have to bleach his hair blonde (fancy!) — but he also had to change his at-bat music. To “Ice Ice Baby”. Oh, yeah. Behold the majesty…
Bravo, Varitek or Wakefield or whatever Sox player actually made the bet (considering Millar’s basketball buddy last week was Big Papi, I’m thinking he might be the culprit). Bravo.
Hat tip to Bromoblog for the inside scoop.
What I’d like to know is what was at stake if the Celtics had lost. I just wanna know what kind of silly things would’ve been done. These things I wonder.
Also Javier Lopez batting may have been the funniest ever. I hope he gets mocked by the bullpen for it.
hilarious!
I’d feel sorry for Millar, but that’s what he gets for betting against the green. Tsk, tsk!
I don’t really get what the big deal is. He did this when he was with the Sox and even got Schilling to do it with him.
I think he should have dyed his hair green, for the Celtics.
I think “the big deal” is that he doesn’t play on the Sox anymore, and yet he’s still making bets with Sox players about Boston sports games.
He didn’t just bleach his hair on his own… he lost a bet.
Millar just needs to be back in Boston, any way, shape, or form.
