Talk about losing your pants.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan Chris Matthew hasn't worn long leggings since 2001 _ except on very rare occasions, to funerals and such _ after making an ill-fated vow just before that year's Grey Cup game he wouldn't wear them again until the Bombers won the CFL title. A safe bet, he thought at the time.
"They were 14-4, and they were playing 8-10 Calgary. I thought it was a no-brainer," Matthew told CBC News. "Apparently I'm the no-brainer. Seventeen more years, I'm still waiting.
"Nobody I know in my circle of friends even bats an eye anymore. I do get odd looks in grocery stores and on the street and things."
