Golden Tate makes good on bet with The Rock
Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate is a man of his word.
Ahead of his alma mater Notre Dame's Nov. 11 game against Miami, Tate made a bet with former Hurricanes defensive lineman and WWE star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson that the loser would wear the winning school's jersey.

Well Mr. @TheRock Johnson. How about loser has to wear and post on social a picture wearing the opposite team gear. I know UA got a lot of @NDFootball gear so should be easy for you to find! 😂 I’ll even rock the #TurnOverChain If y’all win! #GoIrish #BeatTheCanes https://t.co/zUmSMLjAL7
