"Goatee Gamble": It's Over

“Ah the mystery.”

That was the response we got from NBC’s Chuck Todd on whether to goatee would stay or go after the Phillies won the National League Championship Series 10-4 against the Dodgers last night, and “Goatee Gamble” was officially over.

For those of you only just tuning in, the conditions “Goatee Gamble” were: if the Dodgers win the NLCS, ABC’s Jake Tapper would grow a goatee and if the Phillies win, Todd would shave his goatee, his signature look, or a $1,000 donation will be paid by the losing correspondent to the winner’s choice of charity.
