Governors Wager On Bears-Packers

As the hype surrounding Sunday's Bears-Packers game continues to grow, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker have made a wager on the outcome of NFC Championship. Frankly, we're a little disappointed that they've decided to forgo the typical gluttonous smorgasbord of local delicacies. Perhaps they're still sticking their their New Year's resolutions? Rather than betting a pile of bratwurst, cheese and beer against deep dish pizza, Garrett's popcorn and hot dogs, the state leaders have decided to bet their philanthropic services.

The losing governor will serve meals at a food pantry in the winner's state, while wearing a t-shirt of the victorious team. In addition, the loser must also fly the opposing team's flag in his office on the day before the Super Bowl. Because they're helping the needy, we'll give 'em a pass on the lack of culinary money shot when the bet was announced. So how do we think Gov. Walker will look in orange? We already know how most of ours look in that color.
