Atlanta Zoo Settles Super Bowl Bet By Naming Hissing Cockroach ‘Tom Brady’
“Tom Brady” will spend his life in Atlanta as a Super Bowl champion and representative of the city’s enduring sports pain.
The Atlanta Zoo announced Monday on Instagram it has named a newborn Madagascar hissing cockroach after the New England Patriots quarterback. In doing so, the Atlanta Zoo settled a Super Bowl bet with Roger Williams Park Zoo (Providence, R.I.), in which the losing side must name a baby animal after the winning team’s quarterback.
How can we tell Atlantans still feel the sting of the Patriots’ improbable overtime win? By looking at the super-salty action of the Atlanta Zoo.
It’s all good, though. That family of cockroaches probably is already winning titles by now.
