There have been plenty of bets among NFL teammates when their alma maters play a college football game. It's usually something small like wearing the other team's shirt or singing the fight song. Amon-Ra St. Brown had to be regretting backing USC when he put on a Notre Dame leprechaun costume, pants and all, in front of the media during the open locker room period. St. Brown, the Detroit Lions' star receiver and a former USC Trojan, had an "agreement" with Lions teammate Julian Okwara, a defensive end from Notre Dame. St. Brown went out of his way to note that it was an "agreement" outside of the facility, a tongue-in-cheek joke to the Lions having players, like receiver Jameson Williams, get suspended for making sports bets inside the facility. We don't do bets in this facility," St. Brown told reporters. That was low-key funny, and St. Brown having to put on the Notre Dame costume — "Whatever this green thing is," in St. Brown's words — was simply hilarious. St. Brown said Okwara was going to have to dress as the Trojans mascot if USC won. That didn't happen, as Notre Dame blew out USC 48-20. St. Brown having to dress up and meet the media in all green is the kind of thing that keeps a close locker room loose. The Lions are feeling pretty good at 5-1 this season. Well, St. Brown wasn't feeling so great Thursday. He might not be making any more "agreements" regarding mascot clothes again.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
