Michelle Beadle makes a bet

Michelle Beadle makes a bet

Sportsnation’s Michelle Beadle is a huge fan of the New York Jets. She has routed for them for years. She was incredibly happy when the Jets made it to the AFC Championship game for the second year in a row. She also couldn’t help but gloat and tease her co host on Sports Colin Cowherd, because the Jets had beaten his favourite team, the New England Patriots to get there. She teased him all week that his team were a bunch of losers and told everyone how great the Jets were. The discussion was had on Friday’s show. “The Jets may have one, but they will never get to the Superbowl,” Colin said,” They will not beat the Steelers this week.” “I think, you are just jealous. I think they will win and go on to win it all,” Michelle said,” In fact a guarantee that they will win. I have no doubt.” “Oh really,” Colin replied,” If you are so sure that they will win then maybe you would like to put something at stake.” “I wouldn’t care,” she replied,” I have faith in my team. I am confident that they will get the job done.” “Well, then,” Colin said,” In that case, how about this, if the Jets do not win the game, I get to slime and pie you on Monday’s show,” Colin said. Michelle fell silent and looked pensive. She stuttered and acted like she was speechless. “Ok,” she said,” You know what, my team won’t let me down. If they lose, I am willing to take one for the team.” She crossed her fingers and looked at the camera. “Please, guys don’t let me down. I have a lot riding on this now, but I know you can do it,” she pointed at the camera. “I can’t believe that I really agreed to this. This is really going to happen isn’t it. I’m going to keep positive though. We will win and it will be fine. Please guys, I am counting on you.” Of course, the crew was very excited about the whole thing. Colin was usually the one who ended up getting teased or embarrassed so everyone felt that Michelle had this coming to her a little bit. Everyone who worked at ESPN was routing for the Steelers that weekend, everyone who wasn’t a diehard Jets fan anyway.



Michelle spent all weekend getting texts and tweets from everyone she knew asking if the bet was legit and expressing their genuine hope that the Jets would not win the game. Michelle stayed at home and watched the game by herself. She was a true fan and her reactions during the game were as animated as they come. Cheering, booing, arguing calls and cursing at the television. It was a very good game and was close right down to the end. In the end, however, the Jets lost. Michelle looked at the television in silence. “Oh my god,” she said to herself,” I’m going to get slimed.” She shook her head. As soon as the game ended, she started getting dozens of texts, tweets and emails. She switched off her phone and did not go on the internet that evening. She did not want to think about it. She also knew that she could not back on the bet. She thought of calling in sick on Monday, but then the mess would be waiting for her on Tuesday. In the end, she thought,” No, I made the bet, I stand by my team, I have to go in there and take what is coming to me. It is my own fault for opening my big mouth like that.”



Finally Monday arrived. Michelle arrived to the studio with her hair in a ponytail. She wore a red frilly blouse and a black skirt. When she arrived at the studio and walked in the door, the entire crew was waiting for her. They all cheered and clapped for her when she entered. She smiled and waived,” Thank you, thank you,” she said. Colin came forward,” Well, Beadle, they lost,” he said. “Yeah, I know,” she replied,” It was a good game though, they came close,” she said. “Close, but no cigar, ”he said,” You know what that means?,” he said. “No Colin,” what does that mean,” she said facisously and then laughed. “Oh you know, we had a little bet,” he said teasing her. “Bet, I don’t remember any bet,” she said,” Yeah, ok, I remember, how could I ever forget. I made the bet and now I have to pay the consequences.” “I am glad you aren’t trying to back out,” he said. “Nah, I am a woman of my word. I just regret the words that I chose to say when I made the bet that’s all,” she laughed,” I’m really going to get it aren’t I/ This is going to be so embarrassing.”

The show opened and of course one of the first stories was the NFL games over the weekend. Some short highlights of the Jets Steelers game was shown. “And the Jets, lost,” Colin said,” Just to refresh everyone’s memory, let’s look at a little clip from Friday’s show.” The clip was shown where Michelle agreed to get messy if the Jets did not win. The camera then cut back to a very embarrassed looking Michelle Beadle. She was laughing embarrassingly and shaking her head. She was turning red. “So, Michelle,” Colin said,” The Jets did not win did they?” “No, no they didn’t,” Michelle said in a funny voice. “So, you know what that will mean?,” he asked. “Oh yes,” she replied,” I know exactly what that means. They came so close though. I can’t believe they lost. You let me down guys. If you are watching, I hope that you are grateful. You lose and I have to take one for the team.” “So, everyone, at the end of today’s show, Michelle Beadle here will be paying up. She is going to be getting messy. Set your vcr’s and tivo’s. I think we are going to have a you tube hit. Just think Michelle, the videos of this are going to be all over the internet within minutes I am sure.” “Can I say, I had people coming out of the woodwork. Friends I never knew I had. I received so many texts and emails this weekend that I had to just stop reading them. It seems a lot of people are excited about this for some reason. There’s no accounting for taste. It seems this is something people really want to see.”



The show went on as normal, but on the bottom of the screen, where is shows what is going to be on later in the show, it had a tab saying “Michelle gets slimed”. She tried to put it out of her mind, but it was difficult to forget about. At every ad break it was mentioned. Before the final ad break it was announced that after the break Michelle would be doing her messy forfeit. “Yes stay tuned, if you want to see me get messy,” she said,” Who would want to see that ,” she joked,” The whole country it would appear.”

The show came back after the break. “Welcome, back to Sportsnation,” Michelle said,” It is time for what everyone has been waiting for. Everyone but me of course. I lost the bet so now I have to get messy. Colin and everyone else are enjoying this so much, I can not tell you.” Michelle walked out the studio to a chair that was set up in back of the building. She sat down, shaking her head. Colin was there waiting for her with the crew. She sat down,” Is this really going to happen?,” she asked,” I was hoping that this was all just a joke. I guess I was wrong. Well, this one is for all you Jets fans out there. I hope you appreciate this everyone.”



“I have worked with Michelle for two years,” Colin said,” We work together every day. I finally now get a chance at payback. She teases me. I am the one who always has to do the embarrassing stuff and now I finally get to have my revenge. Nation this is going to be fun. Finally.” Michelle crossed her arms and just laughed. She looked over,” Is this going to be really messy?,” she asked.



Colin grabbed a gigantic creamy pie and approached Michelle. She begged him off,” No, Colin, please don’t do this. We can make other arrangements. I’ll do anything,” she begged laughingly waiving her hands. Raised one hand as he approached her with three fingers. The whole crew started counting down. 3...2...1. Michelle laughed and shut her eyes tightly. Colin pulled his arm back. He put his other hand on Michelle’s arm to steady himself. He then took the pie in his other hand and pushed it into Michelle’s face. He planted it into her face, holding it tightly there for a second. He then pushed the pie upward to the top of her head, smearing cream over her face, forehead and hair. She could not scream or make any noise, because her face was packed with whipped cream. Colin then left the tin on top of Michielle’s head as if it were a hat. The crew had erupted in cheers and laughter when the pie hit her. When Colin released the pie, Michelle’s mouth shot open, She puckered her lips and blew some of the cream away. Her mouth wide open, laughing in shock. Some cream blew from her nostrils as well. Michelle was totally creamed. He had been dead on target with the pie. Michelle’s face was plastered in the thick cream. She stuck her tongue out licking her lips. She pulled some cream from the side of her hair with her hand and tasted it. “Pretty good,” she said. Michelle’s face looked amazing covered in pie. “You never looked better,” Colin said. “I feel great,” she said, half jokingly. “I have to say, hitting you with that pie was on e of the most enjoyable things I have ever done,” Colin said.

Colin then grabbed a bucket of slime. It was thick, dark green slime. It was Jets colour. “Hey, green and white, Michelle, you will look just like your team,” Colin said. “You know what good. I will stick by my team. I am a team player,” She said. He took the slime bucket and walked over to Michelle. She closed her eyes and scrunched up her face, bracing for the impact of the slime. He tipped the bucket, relishing every single second of it. He aimed the slime as he poured it onto his co host. She whimpered as it poured down onto the top of her head and then the front of her already pie covered face. Suddenly, all she could see was green. She tried to squint her eyes as the slime poured down over her face. She held her hands in front of her palms up as she was slimed. The slime poured down her neck and shoulders. It poured in a stream down the front of her top and down into her lap. He grabbed a second bucket. He poured more onto Michelle’s back. She hunched forwards as she poured the slime over her back. She then sat back up. He poured more gunge onto her skirt and down onto her legs, down her calves. Most of Michelle was now totally slimed. It dripped everywhere. She shook her arms and then tried to wipe some of the slime from her legs. She put the side of her hand to her fringe and wiped some of the slime off. Her eyes were now clear and she could see but slime was dripping everywhere. Her clothes were saturated and feeling heavy on her body. She felt slimy and gooey all over. She shuddered comicly. “Having fun?,” she said and started to laugh.

Colin next took two bottles of chocolate syrup. He took one in each hand and approached Michelle. He held them over her. She looked up to see what was happening. When she did, Colin started squeezing the chocolate sauce onto her. It hit her in the face. This caused her to involuntarily shut her eyes quickly and jerk her head forward. He took the two bottles and crisscrossed them back and forth over Michelle’s face, making patterns of chocolate syrup over her. He moved the bottles forward as he continued in the crisscross motion over the rest of her body, leaving lines and x’s of the brown chocolate all over her body. Michelle looked forward, licking her lips. “That stuff actually smells quite good,” she said.

Finally Colin grabbed an aerosol can of squirty cream. He shook it up and tossed the cap aside. Michelle closed one eye, while peering up with the other. Colin took the can and aimed the nozzle to the middle of Michelle’s head. He then moved it in a circle motion like a corkscrew. He moved it around over and over squiring cream onto her head in the way you would do to a sundae. He moved it round and round and slightly upwards, The result was a pile of whipped cream on Michelle’s head in, more or less a cone shape. It stayed there in place for a second before collapsing, sending the whipped cream all over her. He then put the nozzle directly into Michelle’s face. He moved it around, decorating her face in whipped cream. She closed her eyes and stuck her tongue out to taste the whipped cream. He moved the can back and forth in her face, spraying the cream, humiliating her. He took a second can and stuck the nozzle under Michelle’s under arm. He sprayed the whipped cream covering her arm pit and then lowered her arm. He did the same her other arm pit. He then sprayed more onto her lap. Finally, he took the can and moved it back and forth over Michelle’s top, writing something. He stood back and revealed that he had written “Jets Stink” in whipped cream on her stomach.



He then stood back clapping and enjoying the moment. “Michelle Beadle, everybody,” he said. The crew cheered. “What can I say,” she replied, laughing and trying to wipe some of the mess off herself. “I guess there is a lesson here. I will never make a bet or guarantee a win ever again. You have to admit I was a good sport though. This is so messy. Wait until I turn my phone back on. I hope you all enjoyed this.”

“That’s it for today everyone. Bye from myself and Michelle here,” Colin said. As the show went off the air Michelle’s eyes widened and her mouth fell open. “Oh shit,” she said. “What is it?,” Colin replied. “I never thought to bring a change of clothes with me. How am I going to get home? I will have to get home like this.” ”Sorry,” he said,” Can’t help ya there.” Oh god,” she said to herself.
