Jalen Rose to shave head, goatee, eyebrows after Lions loss

October 22, 2012 by Larry Brown • Comments

Jalen Rose was so upset with the lack of support for his Detroit Lions prior to “Monday Night Football,” he made an outrageous wager. The ESPN NBA analyst said he’d shave his head, goatee, and eyebrows if the Lions lost to the Bears.

What bugged Rose was seeing ESPN’s entire “Monday Night Countdown” staff pick the Bears to win the game.

Sooooo my entire @espn MNF family is picking the Bears. Lions will win this game. #NFL

His response?

@espnnfl if the Bears beat the Lions I will shave my head , goatee and eyebrows! #MNF #NFL

— JALEN ROSE (@JalenRose) October 23, 2012

Naturally, the Lions did little against the tough Chicago defense, and didn’t even score until the final minute. They lost 13-7, and Rose lost his bet.

When reminded after the game that he needed to pay up, Rose said “I got this. #salty”

The lost bet on “Monday Night Football” didn’t stop the Michigan native from continuing to place wagers on sports events:

@e40 we def need a gentlemen bet on the World Series family #MLB

Some people never learn. We’re guessing he pulls some stunt to get out of this one.
