Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay put his money where his mouth is.
Irsay challenged his Twitter followers Sunday afternoon to correctly guess the winning team and score -- within one point for each team -- of that night's AFC title game between the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots. The winner would receive $8,500.
As pieced together by Deadspin, one fan named Jason, @mikesong on Twitter, predicted a 27-14 outcome in favour of the Ravens. The actual score was 28-13.
Monday, Jason wrote a post on a message board for the band Phish claiming to have received a direct message via Twitter from Irsay that asked for his contact information.
On Tuesday, Jason posted a photo (click here for a large version) of a package he received containing $8,500 in $100 bills and a letter of congratulations from Irsay.
