No matter how confident I am in a prediction or opinion, I will never promise to consume any nausea-inducing food as a consequence, especially without having any sort of control over the outcome.
FOX Sports Radio overnight host Ben Maller spoke with conviction and probably really believed the Denver Nuggets had zero chance at coming back to knock off the Los Angeles Clippers during the Western Conference semifinals. But without any control over the outcome, Maller watched the Nuggets improbable comeback and now has to eat some giant nuggets.
Vowing to consume what is considered by some to be a Denver delicacy, the radio host will celebrate the Nuggets victory by eating bull testicles. Deep-fried and dipped in barbecue sauce, rocky mountain oysters don’t seem as gruesome as when Cleveland sports radio host Aaron Goldhammer ate horse poop two years ago, but it still might be a regrettable guarantee.
Many people do enjoy eating rocky mountain oysters, which is the common name for fried bull testicles, and it’s not crazy to think the sports radio host might even take a liking to the appetizer. But bull testicles for Maller, horse poop for Goldhammer, I would suggest finding a more digestible way to express your conviction.
