The Stanley Cup Governor Bet Is The Single Worst Bet Of All Time

(Source) Hopefully the upcoming Stanley Cup finals involving the Rangers and Los Angeles Kings is more exciting than the bet made by Gov. Cuomo and California Gov. Jerry Brown. If the Rangers manage to win the Cup for the first time in 20 years, Gov. Cuomo can celebrate with an organic, lightly salted brown rice cake and a book on the history of California courtesy of Brown. Should the Kings win their second championship in three years, Cuomo will ship a Taste NY gift basket full of New York products like chicken wing sauce (but not wings) from Buffalo’s Anchor Bar, wings and wine. Cuomo will also send a year-old hockey puck the governor had made up last year to commemorate a “hat trick” of three straight on-time budgets. Hopefully, Mayor de Blasio can improve on what was widely seen as one of the lamest sports bets in a while between politicians when he finalizes his wager wtih Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
