Brown, Giuliani latest to wager on Super Bowl
Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani are the latest politicians to wager on Sunday's Super Bowl showdown between the New England Patriots and New York Giants.
"The bet is on! The Super Bowl wager is that Giuliani will wear a Yankees hat to a Sox game if the Giants lose. Thanks for everyone's input!" Brown tweeted Friday morning.
Brown quickly added that he had mistweeted - Giuliani, a legendary Yankees fan, in fact would have to wear a Red Sox hat to Fenway Park.
Meanwhile, two Democrats — Sens. Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) are wagering craft beer for the entire Senate.
“I can’t wait for Sen. Shaheen to participate in the ‘I Love New York Brew’ Campaign by buying the best craft brews in New York and supplying them to every member of the United States Senate,” Schumer said in a statement released by his office. “When Big Blue brings Tom Brady and Bill Belichick to their knees, the entire U.S. Senate will understand why we love New York brew. Go Giants!”
Shaheen had her doubts. “This Sunday, the only thing sweeter than the taste of craft beer brewed in the Granite State will be the taste of victory when the Patriots beat the Giants,” she said in a statement. “I look forward to joining the rest of my fellow Senators as we wash down New England’s win with some of New Hampshire’s best brews, courtesy of Sen. Schumer.”
Democratic Sens. John Kerry (Mass.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) also made a friendly wager over their Super Bowl picks last week, staking New England clam chowder against New York cheesecake.
