The Super Bowl loss is still lingering for some, including a Seahawks fan who has to pay up on his bet with actor Matt Damon.

Prior to the Super Bowl, Damon explained on KIRO Radio’s Tom & Curley Show he’d made a bet with his long-time assistant, Colin, who hails from Sammamish.

If the Seahawks won, Damon would have had to wear a Russell Wilson jersey during a high-profile TV interview.

But if the Patriots won, Colin would be stuck wearing Patriots colors.

“Colin and I have about a year of work lined up all over the world and he’s got to wear a Tom Brady jersey everywhere we go,” Damon explained. “I’m going to take a picture of him every day. We’re going to the Great Wall. I’m just going to start a blog and it’s going to be this miserable Seattle fan wearing a Patriots jersey in seven or eight different countries.”

Above is the first photo of Colin in Patriots gear. This image was taken in the desert in Jordan.
