Having to pay up by wearing gear from a college rival is much worse, at least according to Tennessee Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo .The Texas alum bet with teammate DeMarco Murray on last weeks Red River Showdown and lost big when Oklahoma beat Orakpos Longhorns 45-40. Orakpo showed up Monday wearing a Sooners hoodie.I fought it hard, but Im a man of my word, Orakpo said. Im going to pay my bets and I got to wear this trash, but Ill burn it when Im done after the week.Betting on college games is very popular in NFL locker rooms, with friendly wagers made almost weekly. Orakpo said many players simply wager with money, which is easily dismissed.We kind of wanted to make it sink in a little further with hoodie for the week for that particular team, and obviously you know what the outcome was, Orakpo said.Adding to the pain, Orakpo said he knows a photo of him in the Oklahoma hoodie will make the rounds, particularly back home in Texas. A native of Houston, Orakpo said he never considered attending Oklahoma.Im a man of my word. I pay my debts, and Ill burn it when Im done, Orakpo said.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8A3YScPOwc---POPULAR BRADY: Tom Brady not only got a win in his first game back from his four-game Deflategate suspension, he earned offensive player of the week honors in the AFC with his 406-yard, three-touchdown performance.The Patriots quarterback also was No. 1 elsewhere: Bradys jersey became the top seller this week, according to DICKs Sporting Goods Jersey Report.Bradys popularity also moved New England to the top spot in overall jersey sales.

Youve just got to be patient.Even with Prescott on the verge of an NFL record for pass attempts without an interception to start a career (second at 155 behind Tom Bradys 162), Rodgers says the 23-year-old former Mississippi State standout will have to accept that it may soon be his team -- just not now.Maybe soon, maybe in a couple of years, Rodgers said. Hes doing nothing but helping himself right now the way hes shown those guys his leadership style and his play and his consistency.Prescott sounds as if he never had to adjust his thinking in the first place.This is Tonys team, he said. I knew that going into the situation. I think everybody knew that.
