Baltimore mayor betting crab cakes on Ravens win
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is betting the mayor of Pittsburgh crab cakes and more that the Ravens will beat the Steelers in their divisional playoff on Saturday.
If Baltimore wins, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke RAVENstahl will send Rawlings-Blake a plate of sandwiches from Primanti Bros. Restaurant, Smiley cookies from Eat ’n Park and other Steeltown treats.
He’ll also have to post a video of himself in a Baltimore jersey declaring the Ravens’ superiority to the Steelers.
If Pittsburgh wins, Rawlings-Blake will owe Ravenstahl a tray of crab cakes from frin Faidley’s Seafood in Lexington Market. And she’ll be responsible for a video announcement of her own, in black and gold, proclaiming the Steelers’ superiority.
But she doesn’t believe it will come to that.
“Coach Harbaugh and the entire Ravens team are playing their best football right now, and I look forward to watching them win on Saturday,” Rawlings-Blake said in a release. “I am also excited to see how handsome my colleague, Mayor Ravenstahl, looks in purple and black!”

Sorry your honor, but that's not even close to your offer of crab cakes. Primanti Bros. is way overrated! Hate to see the dude take advantage of you. Get a court injuction on this wager!

What a great sense of humor both of these mayors have. I'm a die hard Steelers fan and I definitely do not underestimate the Ravens by any means. But it's nice to see some good humor placed into the fight. I look forward to to seeing that message with the Baltimore Mayor wearing some beautiful black and gold! ;)

Primanti's is the place that puts French Fries on its sandwiches, no? You know better than to eat that garbage Madam Mayor. Drop it off at the Maryland Zoo when you win. The warthogs will be thrilled!
