Ah, the friendly sports wager between mayors and governors before a sporting event: the easiest and lamest way to garner attention for an incumbent politician. This edition of the story you’ve seen countless times before features the delicious artery-blocking goods of Milwaukee and Philadelphia:
In a bet with the governor of Pennsylvania, Gov. Jim Doyle Tuesday promised to send Miller Brewing products, Klement’s sausages and Secret Stadium Sauce if the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Milwaukee Brewers in the best-of-five-games playoff series.
And if the Brewers take the series, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said, he will send Doyle an assortment of Yuengling Brewery products and some traditional Philadelphia cheesesteaks.
Goddam I hate these bets. Who the hell mails cheeseteaks? Just once I wanna see a bet where the losing governor has to visit the opposing state’s legislature and let the winner kick him in the balls.


The image search I did for this post made me extremely hungry for greasy food and cheap beer.
Offering up Miller or Yeungling isn’t a bet, it’s a threat.
I would imagine the image search for “sausage fest” may have turned up slightly less desirable results than what is shown here.
I would sign for that cheese steak package every day, I’m just saying.
At least our artery-clogging staple doesn’t look like a dong that you put in your mouth.
Yuengling’s not even from Philadelphia…
Milwaukee’s Secret Stadium Sauce is Bernie the Brewer’s semen.
Somebody was going to say it.
Send Milorganite instead
“Miller brewing products:” because you just can’t call it “beer” and “piss” isn’t friendly. Unless you’re R. Kelly.
“Just once I wanna see a bet where the losing governor has to visit the opposing state’s legislature and let the winner kick him in the balls.”
This would be the only reason I would ever root against the Angels.
I do love a good 12 inch kielbasa.
Keep it clean fellas.
Miller’s Special Stadium Sauce is a combination of Brett Favre’s sweat and urine.
Lol +1 Whodat
Well lookie here!
