Matt Hasselbeck, Chandler Harnish bet on the No. 8

The Colts' new backup quarterback hasn't claimed a uniform number since signing with the team last month. He's worn No. 8 since 2001, but Chandler Harnish currently claims that number in Indianapolis. So the two players decided to settle the matter in the most Indiana way possible: basketball.

Harnish is sending the money to charity.
