Civic Pride: A Seattlest-Chicagoist Wager

By Chuck Sudo in Miscellaneous on Jan 15, 2011 5:45PM

While we're taking a wait-and-see approach to tomorrow's Bears-Seahawks playoff game at Soldier Field, our comrades in the Emerald City are already imagining a Seahawks victory. They've even gone so far as to imagine some of the things His Elective Majesty and Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn should wager.

And then Seattlest editor Allecia Vermillion contacted us about putting together an actual wager on the game. We're game, but one question remained: what would be the terms? Neither Allecia nor I have the pull of Daley or McGinn to put together a nice package of food and beer as collateral (well, maybe the beer). So we're getting creative with our little bet.

On Monday, the winning editor will have space on the site to talk trash about the other city on the losing editor's site. Have to hand it to Allecia - she has the utmost confidence in a 7-9 team. Meanwhile we're spending the weekend coming up with burns that don't involve Starbuck's and flannel.
