Sen. Pat Toomey, the newly seated Republican U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, has made a friendly wager with his counterpart in Wisconsin over the outcome of the Super Bowl.The Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers will go head-to-head on Feb. 6 in Super Bowl XLV.
Toomey and Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican freshman from Wisconsin, may be fiscal conservatives but they're on opposite sides when it comes to football.
Toomey is backing the Steelers and is willing to wager Primanti Bros. sandwiches against Johnson, who is willing to bet, what else, Wisconsin cheese.
From a Toomey press release:
Should the Steelers prevail, Sen. Johnson will provide Sen. Toomey with a savory assortment of Wisconsin cheese, bratwurst and beer. But should the Packers emerge victorious, Sen. Toomey will ship Sen. Johnson a delivery of Pittsburgh's world-famous Primanti Bros. sandwiches, topped with signature French fries, cole slaw and tomatoes.
"I'm sure Sen. Johnson would enjoy some of Pittsburgh's best sandwiches, which taste just as good as the upcoming Steelers' victory," Sen. Toomey said.
"Being frugal and a fiscal conservative, my first thought was to simply re-gift the Chicago Style Pizza and Illinois beer that the Packers helped us win from Senator Kirk. But that wouldn't highlight the fine products made in Wisconsin. So I have decided to offer Senator Toomey's office a generous basket of Wisconsin cheese, brats, and beer in the unlikely event that the Steelers prevail over America's team, the Green Bay Packers," Sen. Johnson said.
