Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo will not be retiring anytime soon.

Earlier this week, Russo promised to retire if the Diamondbacks beat the Phillies in the MLB playoffs to make it to the World Series.

“Write it down: if they win the next two games and win this series in seven games, I will retire on the spot.”

Unfortunately for Mad Dog, the Diamondbacks did indeed come back to win the series, and fans are calling on him to retire.

On Wednesday morning, Russo appeared on the Howard Stern show and backed out of his retirement promise. Stern suggested that Russo still needed to face some sort of punishment, and Russo agreed to wear a Diamondbacks bikini while out in public.

“You gotta do something so outrageous that they forget about the fact that you said you were gonna retire over a baseball game,” Howard Stern said to Russo.

“How bout this, You come on my show, I’ll come into Manhattan for this, we put you in a bikini and you walk down the street with a sign that says, ‘I’m a d—-e.’ If you do that…it will make all the media and everyone say, ‘Wow, this guy was standup, he took it, obviously he couldn’t retire, but he was humiliated.’”

“The deal is done,” Russo responded.
