Ryan Braun’s loss could be Todd Sutton’s gain.
Who’s Todd Sutton? In February of 2012, Sutton tweeted Aaron Rodgers about Ryan Braun after the Brewers star avoided suspension for testing positive for PEDs on a technicality. But the Packers quarterback was convinced Braun was an innocent man and told Sutton he’d bet his salary ($4.5 million base) on it.
@toddsutton ya I'd put my salary next year on it.

While Rodgers has been silent on Twitter since the exchange became public, Sutton did speak to USA Today on Tuesday.
“I’d just take a game check,” Sutton told the website.
According to the site that would roughly equal $281,150.
“I’m not really expecting to hear from him. It’d be cool, but I doubt it’s going to happen,” Sutton said.
With Braun accepting a 65-game suspension from MLB on Monday for his ties to Biogenesis, it appears Rodgers would have lost that unofficial bet. Now, we’ll see if he pays up or at the very least stops using #exonerated.
