It’s tradition for officials to wager food items, but the cities went much further for the showdown. Â (LET’S GO GIANTS! Â I’m throwing this in anywhere I can! Lol) Check what they bet after the jump…
Mayor Bloomberg is betting an iconic San Francisco cable car will be flying Giants flags once Big Blue punches its ticket to the Super Bowl by beating the 49ers Sunday.
Bloomberg and his Bay Area city counterpart, Mayor Ed Lee, engaged in a friendly wager and some trash talking Wednesday.
If the Giants win, Lee will send Bloomberg some of his city’s classic sourdough bread and hang Giants’ flags from a cable car.
But if the 49ers triumph in the NFC Championship showdown, Bloomberg agreed to rename the Theater District’s 49th St. “49ers Street†and send Lee a dozen bagels from Bagel Oasis in Queens.
“After Sunday, Niners fans will be left with a taste as sour as their famous bread, and the Giants will have their sights set on another trophy,†Bloomberg said.
Lee countered that “the Giants will have to leave their hearts and their Super Bowl hopes in San Francisco.â€
Bloomberg encouraged New Yorkers to wear blue on Friday to send the Giants off on a victorious West Coast trip.
