"SAGINAW, Mich. - Late-night funnyman Stephen Colbert had a lot riding on Friday night’s Ontario Hockey League game won by the Saginaw Spirit, 5-4, over the Oshawa Generals. The host of the satirical news program “The Colbert Report”, has thrown his support behind the Spirit in recent months after learning that the Michigan team had named its mascot Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle, as a tribute to him. Colbert has since done some trash-talking about other OHL teams, particularly the Oshawa Generals. ... That prompted Oshawa Mayor John Gray to issue a challenge to Colbert on a local radio station. Gray said if the Oshawa Generals won the game, Colbert would've worn a Generals jersey for an entire show. However, with the Spirit win, Gray must declare Colbert’s birthday “Stephen Colbert Day” in Oshawa. Colbert accepted the challenge on his show Thursday night, but said he wants [Colbert] day to be declared on Gray’s birthday, March 20. |
