If it was an oral contract, the only way I could see him getting out of it is the underwear part (especially for a fat loser like him) could be considered "public indecency" and you can't legally contract for an illegal act.

Plus the fact that he didn't really make the promise to do this to any one specific person (so there would be nobody to enforce), but even if he did, that other person didn't give up anything up in exchange for him making this promise, so there can't be a contract.

I wish I could go back in time and offer him $1 to make that promise in his column though, then it would be enforceable.*

*(Kind of-there's a whole bunch of other legal stuff to sort through regarding whether or not you could actually get a court to order him to do it).

Either way this column gets funnier as time goes on. Does anyone know if this guy is still "employed" by bleacher report? Haven't looked at his twitter

Depends on the "underwear". Lots of variations would qualify to allow the bet payoff.

Even wearing a leotard with the underwear on the outside of the tights.

I'm no lawyer, but I wonder if a public declaration of intent such as that could be considered an oral contract that he would be legally obligated to uphold.

No.

Anyone who believes a statement like this guy made is a legally binding contract is a compete idiot.

I was 100% joking.  I know it's not legally binding.

We play the Bucs in 2016 this season...

[Zithers]

what's more embarrassing than his irrational cam hatred is that his twitter is full of tweets about how islam needs to be banned as a religion and that guns rule

[Inimicus]

The only thing worse than giving clicks and thought to some two-bit BR hack...

 

Is dogging out fans of your team who have the passion to call out that same two-bit hack for the uninformed, ignorant, and clearly biased bullshit he put into print.

The Browns should hire this guy as GM

petition is a bit premature.

seeing as how circumstances led to newton not being the starter for the 2014 season opener, the writer still has a chance of being right about the 2016 season opener....as long as the stars and the moon all line up correctly.

I guess if he dressed like this guy from the 80's,  all he would have to do is add the cam jersey...

Actually on second thought, it was written not oral, so not an oral contract. But something of the sort. 

Written contracts are useless until executed aka signed.
