We Prefer Lobster

In one of Bostonists favorite traditions the Governors have placed their Superbowl bets. Gov. Mitt Romney and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell finalized their deal today. They’re singing. The Governor of the loosing team’s state will go to an NBA game between the Celtics and the Sixers in the winning team’s state, don a jersey of that team and sing the National Anthem to kick off the game. Usually involving a bet of seafood from Massachusetts this bet is a little bit more creative than the norm, though we’re afraid it might displace an Ashlee Simpson appearance. Unfortunately, or fortunately, for Celtics fans Rendell will not actually be singing—he’ll send his wife. Rendell’s wife Midge, who is a classically trained opera singer and a federal judge will sing in her husband’s stead after the Patriots win a week from Sunday. Anyone know if Romney spent any time with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir?
