Showing Original Post only (View all)Governor Shapiro announces Super Bowl LVII bets with Missouri, Kansas governors [View all]
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) On Thursday, Governor Josh Shapiro announced that he made friendly bets with Missouri Governor Mike Parson and Kansas Governor Laura Kelly ahead of Super Bowl LVII between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Like millions of Pennsylvanians, Lori and I are excited to cheer on the Philadelphia Eagles and watch them bring the Lombardi Trophy back to the Commonwealth, said Governor Shapiro. Pennsylvania is home to the greatest small businesses in the country and while I love to share the best Pennsylvania has to offer with my friends in other states, the Eagles have been so good this season that Im willing to double down on a win this week. Go Birds!
Before the game, Gov. Parson and Gov. Shapiro will exchange Eagles and Chiefs flags. The governor of the losing team will have to hang the flag of the winning team in their office.
Gov. Shapiro has bet an assortment of food from Pennsylvania small businesses as part of the wager with Gov. Kelly. The following foods will be sent to Gov. Kelly if the Chiefs win:
*Soft pretzels from Philly Style Hand Twisted Soft Pretzel Bakery in Levittown, Bucks County
*Cheesesteaks from Tony Lukes in Philadelphia
*Eagles Mini Donuts from Collegeville Italian Bakery in Montgomery County
If the Eagles win, Gov. Kelly will send Gov. Shapiro the following:
*Creekstone Farms Black Angus Beef
*Chocolate-covered sunflower seeds

I'm rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles this year, since the Steelers didn't make the playoffs.
Go Eagles!

OP
My support for Josh aside (and intense disdain for MO governor), gotta root for KC!

I wonder if Eagle fans would root for the Steelers if they were in the bowl.

Because Kansas doesn't have an NFL team, so they support KC Chiefs. Not unusual especially

I told you why. Kansas City is partially in Kansas and that part is only 3 miles away from the MO
