The Associated Press reports Chicago Bears (http://www.kffl.com/team/11/nfl)' fan Scott Wiese is not allowed to legally change his name to Peyton Manning (http://www.kffl.com/player/856/nfl), after the Indianapolis Colts (http://www.kffl.com/team/19/nfl) quarterback. Macon County Judge Katherine McCarthy ruled Wiese changing his name to Peyton Manning (http://www.kffl.com/player/856/nfl) would be too confusing and might infringe on the privacy of the quarterback. Weise was only trying to change his name to honor a bet he lost when Colts (http://www.kffl.com/team/19/nfl) beat the Bears (http://www.kffl.com/team/11/nfl) in the Super Bowl. "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. I think she understood that," Wiese told the Decatur Herald & Review.

What BS. The reasons the judge gave were a bunch of crap. A guy can change his name to Meat Loaf but not Peyton Manning??

I'm going to change my name to Adewale Ogunleye,

or maybe Plaxico Burress...my mother came pretty close to naming me Plaxico.

So instead of Peyton Manning he will be known as that douche that made that stupid bet.
