Betting on Dunn

Four friends, four giant egos, and a belief (or disbelief) in Adam Dunn: this is what made up the greatest Adam Dunn bet of all time.

It was 2006; my three friends and I were newly minted freshman in college and thought we knew everything about everything, especially sports. One of my three friends, Mike, was the smartest guy I knew: 4.0 GPA, perfect scores on his SAT, always right about everything, and an arrogance that was about as prevalent as his IQ. We loved Mike but hated him at the same time. He was the kind of guy that if the opportunity came to trump him in something, you took it.
