Like any crafty politician, Congressman Robert Brady (D-PA) has found a way to flip-flop on an important issue ... and we're talking about the Mohawk Challenge between Brady and Congressman John Hall (D-NY19) over who would win the World Series.
As we all know, Brady's Phillies lost ... but his press secretary tells TMZ: "The Congressman will not be shaving his head."
Here's the deal. Brady's peeps say the Mohawk Challenge was rendered null-and-void because the only person we could find to take the bet was Congressman Hall -- who happens to be mostly bald. So that technically doesn't make it a Mohawk Challenge, does it?
Now get this: Back when Hall accepted the challenge, he said instead of the mohawk he would shave off the precious few locks he had left -- which a few follically-challenged people in the TMZ newsroom considered a harsher punishment.
So, the question ....

Real men pay their debts -- even if it means getting a mohawk.
We caught up with Congressman John Hall (D-NY) -- at a barbershop, no less -- who says he fully expects Congressman Robert Brady (D-PA) to pay up on their World Series mohawk bet.
So far, Brady's hairline remains intact.

The Phillies dominated the Yankees last night -- and according to this PA congressman, not even the combined powers of Beyonce, Jay-Z, Kate Hudson and all the celebrity Yankees fans in the universe can help them pull ahead.
We got Robert Brady (D-PA) -- the same guy who issued The Mohawk Challenge -- today in DC, where he said having hardcore athletic support from celebs is great and all, but "How many home runs did Kate Hudson hit?"
The man has a point...

It took less than an hour -- but a NY politician is totally stepping up to the plate to accept the Yankees-Phillies mohawk challenge issued by Pennsylvania congressman Robert Brady ... but in case you haven't noticed, there's just one small problem...
Congressman John Hall (D-NY19) wants a piece of the head-shaving action ... but he seems to be lacking the proper equipment for a proper mohawk. Instead, he wants to raise the stakes. Here's John's statement:
"Brady must not be that confident. Just a mohawk? I'll see his mohawk and raise him a whole head. I'll shave all my hair if the Phillies win – which we all know isn't happening."
Some people in the TMZ newsroom believe Hall has more at stake -- due to the fact that balding people usually cherish the few follicles they have left. Others believe Brady -- and his big grey mane -- have more to lose.
We're calling Brady right now to see if it's game on!

With tonight's game just hours away, Congressman Robert Brady (D - PA) is looking to make a last minute bet in tonight's Yankees vs. Phillies showdown ... and he's willing to risk most of the hair on his head.
We got the Phillies phan on Capitol Hill today -- where he said he couldn't find a single NY fan with enough "guts" to meet his high-risk wager. The stakes: The loser would have to get a mohawk!
Any takers?
