With the New Orleans Saints set to face the Carolina Panthers in the National Football League playoffs, U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson, and Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., announced their wager Friday (Jan. 5). Each pledged chicken.
If the Saints win, Hudson will supply the House majority whip with fried chicken from Bojangles, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Cheerwine, a soft drink made by a Salisury, North Carolina, company. If the Panthers win, Scalise will give Hudson fried chicken from Popeyes.
