It seems that NY state politicians can't stop, won't stop betting on tomorrow's anticipated Jets/Steelers AFC Championship game. Considering NY politicians, does a proclivity for gambling really surprise you? Following Mayor Bloomberg's mayoral bet with Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, Governor Andrew Cuomo, who had fruitlessly offered a Jets hat to President Obama recently, has made his own snacktastic bet with Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett. If the Steelers win, Cuomo will send Corbett a basket including Nathan’s hot dogs, chicken wings from Buffalo, and Hudson Valley apple cider as well as cheese and maple syrup. If the Jets win, Corbett will send Cuomo a gift basket with Pennsylvania-made foods and beverages. And the rest of us will hopefully get more Bart Scott "Hulk" impressions.
