Despite the Panthers being 11-point underdogs, Clodfelter did not take any points from Murray or ask for a greater prize package.

"Obviously, our score will be higher than their score, but beyond that I don't have a score prediction," Clodfelter said.

Murray is picking the Seahawks to win the game, which kicks off on Saturday at 8:15 p.m. ET at CenturyLink Field.

"We beat them in October, and on Saturday it's not even going to be close," Murray said in an announcement from the mayor's office. "The Seahawks are virtually unbeatable at home, and we know the 12s are going to be insanely loud. Go Hawks!"

 

If the Panthers win, Murray will send the Queen City a collection of Seattle music memorabilia. The gift basket will include vinyl LPs by Nirvana, Mudhoney, the Shins and the Postal Service, CDs by Shabazz Palaces, Sleater-Kinney, Sarah Silverman and Luluc, and other memorabilia.

If the Seahawks win, Clodfelter will send the Emerald City a gift basket full of items that are emblematic of Charlotte. These include recycled sneakers by Charlotte-based ReKixx, salted caramel brownies from Amelie's French Bakery, and paraphernalia from Olde Mecklenburg Brewery.

Additionally, the mayor of the losing team will take a selfie in the winning team's jersey.

 

Mayors make wager

 

Pat McCrory made wagers like this all the way through the Super Bowl in 03, though if I remember right, one mayor backed out (I forget who).

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
