Patrons at a bar in Milwaukee hoping to score free drinks in the event of a Jets loss were in for a rude awakening after Xavier Gipson’s stunning game-winning punt return.
Jack’s American Pub announced late last month that it would be covering customers’ tabs whenever the Jets lost a game started by Aaron Rodgers. There are conditions, of course. Patrons have to open a tab at least 15 minutes before kickoff and the deal doesn’t cover food, but all drinks are on the house if the former Packers star’s team ends up losing.
Customers watching Monday Night Football at Jack’s were in a celebratory mood after Rodgers went down with a season-ending injury early in the Jets’ opener against the Bills. Surely Josh Allen would get the better of Zach Wilson, right? Not so fast. The Jets won the game in thrilling fashion on Gipson’s punt return touchdown in overtime, meaning the patrons were suddenly responsible for paying their own tabs.
