Following the Diamondbacks' stunning Game 7 victory over the Phillies in the NLCS, a nation of sports talk radio and TV fans waited to see if Chris "Mad Dog" Russo would follow through on his pledge to retire if Arizona won the series.
On Wednesday morning, Russo appeared on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show to answer for his bold proclamation and to renegotiate the terms of his wager.
Initially, Stern had a far more crude proposal for Russo in place of retiring. But in the interests of public decency, the longtime shock jock came up with a showy gesture that would humiliate Russo and satisfy the audience.
