Update: Adam Jones to wear Tom Brady jersey, donate to David Ortiz's charity after losing NFL bet
Adam Jones loses NFL bet to David Ortiz
Adam Jones can't get enough of those sweet Ravens victories. After winning a bet against Andrew McCutchen last weekend, the Baltimore center fielder went looking for a Bostonian to take him on in the matter of Saturday's Ravens-Patriots game. He tried Big Papi:
Where's @davidortiz at? I got an offer for you my Dominican compadre. Wanna Play ����������

And Dustin Pedroia:
My man @15Lasershow hiiiiii buddy. Let's make a wager. #RavensPats

He would have taken anybody:
Where's any Boston players. #LetsMakeADeal

Let's be honest, he had a liiiiitle bit of a preference:
Where's @davidortiz

Even though Pedroia was willing to play ball:
@SimplyAJ10 sounds good. Pats win no more blowing bubbles.

Papi thought he might have the advantage:
Whats up @SimplyAJ10...gettin ready for the end of your @Ravens season bro??? #PatriotsNation
- David Ortiz (@davidortiz) January 10, 2015
No matter what, Jones would still be cheering for Baltimore (even if they're not always cheering back):
I don't know if the @ravens (who don't follow a brotha) are getting the hint,but I'm rooting for them #StayHungry.

UPDATE: Eventually Papi and Jones arrived at an agreement:
If the Patriots win, I'll wear a Tom Brady jersey, if RAVENS win Big Papi wears a Suggs jersey #StayHungry #GameOn

But the stakes were a little bit higher than in the past:
"In light of today's @Ravens/@Patriots game, I challenge @davidortiz. Loser gives $5k to the winners charity. #GameOn"

Can't wait to see my boy @SimplyAJ10 in a brady jersey and have him make a donation to the @DavidOrtizFund when the @Patriots win!!! #GameOn
- David Ortiz (@davidortiz) January 10, 2015
UPDATE 2: Following the Patriots' thrilling 35-31 victory over the Ravens, Ortiz was quick to remind Jones of his obligations:
Thats what im talking about @Patriots !!! Time to get that Brady jersey for my boy @SimplyAJ10
- David Ortiz (@davidortiz) January 11, 2015
And to Jones' credit, he wasn't afraid to own up to his end of the bet. Not only will he be donning a Tom Brady jersey, but he'll also be donating $5,000 to David Ortiz's Children's Fund.
Great game by both squads @Ravens @Patriots. I'm a man of my word so @davidortiz let's get to work. #StayHungry
