Governors bet pride, food for Steelers-Patriots matchup

This weekend is getting political — and not only because of Friday’s presidential inauguration.

The AFC Championship game between the Steelers and the New Patriots has prompted a bet between Gov. Tom Wolf, the Pennsylvania Democrat, and Gov. Charlie Baker, the Republican from Massachusetts.

Mr. Baker initiated the wager on Twitter: “.@GovernorTomWolf ready to put something on the line that the GOAT and the #Patriots will beat the #Steelers on Sunday for the Hunt Trophy?” The tweet was accompanied by a Tom Brady gif and a goat emoji, referring to the “greatest of all time.”
