Wager between city mayors

[Mr. Scot]

Despite the Panthers being 11-point underdogs, Clodfelter did not take any points from Murray or ask for a greater prize package.

"Obviously, our score will be higher than their score, but beyond that I don't have a score prediction," Clodfelter said.

Murray is picking the Seahawks to win the game, which kicks off on Saturday at 8:15 p.m. ET at CenturyLink Field.

"We beat them in October, and on Saturday it's not even going to be close," Murray said in an announcement from the mayor's office. "The Seahawks are virtually unbeatable at home, and we know the 12s are going to be insanely loud. Go Hawks!"

 

If the Panthers win, Murray will send the Queen City a collection of Seattle music memorabilia. The gift basket will include vinyl LPs by Nirvana, Mudhoney, the Shins and the Postal Service, CDs by Shabazz Palaces, Sleater-Kinney, Sarah Silverman and Luluc, and other memorabilia.

If the Seahawks win, Clodfelter will send the Emerald City a gift basket full of items that are emblematic of Charlotte. These include recycled sneakers by Charlotte-based ReKixx, salted caramel brownies from Amelie's French Bakery, and paraphernalia from Olde Mecklenburg Brewery.

Additionally, the mayor of the losing team will take a selfie in the winning team's jersey.

 

Mayors make wager

 

Pat McCrory made wagers like this all the way through the Super Bowl in 03, though if I remember right, one mayor backed out (I forget who).
