Ed Rendell seems like a pretty cool guy: former Mayor of Philly, now Governor of PA, and total sports nut. If the Eagles and Steelers both reach the Super Bowl (we know: big "if"), he's going to continue the trend of Governors betting on the game. Huh? He'll bet himself. If the Eagles were to win, Pittsburgh would donate a shipment of sandwiches from Primanti Brothers to a senior citizen center and a homeless shelter in Philadelphia. If the Steelers were to win, Philadelphia would send Pat's cheese steaks to a senior center and a shelter in Pittsburgh. Dude is a straight class act.
