Mayor Makes Good On Bronco Bet, "Tebows"
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Is Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl getting caught up in the Internet craze inspired by Denver Broncos' Quarterback Tim Tebow? No, he's just making good on a bet.
Prior to the Steelers' season ending overtime loss to the Broncos on Sunday, Ravenstahl made a friendly playoff wager with his counterpart in Denver, Mayor Michael Hancock.
As part of the deal, Ravenstahl agreed to don a Broncos jersey and strike the prayerful pose for a picture.
Since the Broncos bested the black and gold, Ravenstahl made good on the bet by taking a knee in Roberto Clemente Memorial Park on the North Shore this morning.
"This is not something I ever thought I'd have to do, and it's certainly not something I'm looking forward to," Mayor Ravenstahl said in a statement. "However, we're good sports here in Pittsburgh and I want to congratulate Denver on a great win."
Had Sunday's outcome been different and Pittsburgh won, Hancock would have had to don a Steelers jersey and wave the Terrible Towel at a public event.
