It?s a swap of crab cakes and steaks.
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake have ventured into the oh so popular terrain of ? ?wagers between politicians who represent areas that have teams in the NFL playoffs.?
As you all know, the Ravens and Broncos square-off Saturday afternoon in a AFC Divisional Playoff game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
If the Broncos win (which my colleague Tim Hoover has noted is likely), then Rawlings-Blake ships a platter of broiled crab cakes from J. W. Faidley Seafood in Baltimore?s historic Lexington Market. On the flip side, if the Ravens come out victorious, Hancock will send a box of dry aged ?cowboy cut? rib eye steaks from Lombardi Brothers Meats.
?Denver is looking forward to an exciting game with the Ravens, and I expect an Orange Wave to come out on top at the end of the fourth quarter,? Hancock said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Rawlings-Blake said in a statement that ?for five consecutive years, our Ravens have made the playoffs with an increasingly potent offense and historically dominant defense ? I am excited to watch them win another game on the road to the Super Bowl.?
Not likely, Ms. Rawlings-Blake.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper made a similar wager with Maryland Gov. Martin O?Malley on Friday that features a swap of Centennial state lamb chops for Chesapeake crab cakes.
Hancock said he looks forward to dining on the crab cakes, which have been noted in the New York Times as ?the single best crab cake in Baltimore, if not the Western Hemisphere.?
In a previous match-up this season, the Broncos traveled to Baltimore where they defeated the Ravens 34-17.
