Question of the day

Wednesday, Jan 19, 2011 - Posted by Rich Miller

* From a press release, Gov. Pat Quinn and that unmentionable Packer governor to the North have settled on their Sunday bet…

Under the agreement, the winning team’s Governor will host the losing team’s Governor as he volunteers at a food pantry in the winner’s state. While volunteering, the visiting Governor will wear a t-shirt of the winning team. In addition, the losing Governor must also fly the opposing team’s flag in his office on the day before the Super Bowl.

* The Question: What do you think Mayor Daley and whatever the yokel’s name is who runs Green Bay should bet on?

[This post was changed to a QOTD.]

    walker loses, he comes to the city, city media proceeds to ask him questions about tax hike, he proceeds to bash the heck out of tax hike.

    quinn loses, he goes to wisconsin, wisconsin media thanks him for tax hike, proceeds to bash Wisconsin.

    sounds good.

    The looser has to find a job in their administration for the winning city’s most recently indicted elected official.


  3. - Rich Miller - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:00 pm:

    Answer the question, please.


  4. - just sayin' - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:01 pm:

    If Packers win, Green Bay mayor gets free vacation in Chicago.

    If Bears win, Mayor Daley gets to stay home in Chicago.


  5. - Hon. John Fritchey - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:03 pm:

    If Chicago loses, Daley should have to spend a weekend in Green Bay. If Green Bay loses, their mayor should have to spend a weekend in Green Bay :)


  6. - Hon. John Fritchey - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:03 pm:

    Js, great minds think alike…


  7. - frustrated GOP - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:07 pm:

    I’ve been to green bay, there is nothing there that we want. Actually there might be an indian casino, so maybe daley would like an indian casino and bingo parlor. ??
    I say if they want a meaningful bet, they should offer something form Milwaukee.
    How about loser get Bret Farve?


  8. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:12 pm:

    Bears win, GB mayor gets the Green Bay airport taken over by bulldozers early one morning on a day of Daley’s choosing ….

    Packers win, Daley has to turn Millennium Park into CheeseWorld 2000 for the rest of Daley’s term


  9. - lakeview - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:20 pm:

    The loser gets a ticket from a red-light camera in the winner’s town.


  10. - Anonymous - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:21 pm:

    GB wins, they get all the Chicago tourist trinkets they want.

    Bears win, GB MUST take Carol Mosely Braun– preferably before the Super Bowl.


  11. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:23 pm:

    If the Bears win, the city of Milwaukee has to stop its Socialists city council ways …

    If the Packers win, the city of Chicago has to stop its rubber stamp city council ways …


  12. - D.P. Gumby - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:23 pm:

    GB wins, Richie grants the GB mayor an audience in his Chambers
    Chicago wins, Richie continues to ignore the mayor of GB.


  13. - Davey Boy Smithe - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:23 pm:

    If the Bears win, Green Bay has to take in all the leftover Chicago 2016 t shirts and equipment.

    If the Packers win, they get an hour of free parking while in downtown Chicago.


  14. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:26 pm:

    Losing mayor must resign immediately and become the mayor of Detroit …


  15. - OneMan - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:31 pm:

    They have to swap acents for a week


  16. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:31 pm:

    Losing mayor must have both Governors Walker and Quinn to their private residence and the three must have dinner together…


  17. - lincoln's beard - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:33 pm:

    Based on the disparity in size, wouldn’t 2nd Ward Alderman Bob Fioretti be the more appropriate public official to make this bet?


  18. - Cheryl44 - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:41 pm:

    His name is Jim Schmitt. And I don’t think they have anything we want.


  19. - 47th Ward - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:45 pm:

    ===In addition, the losing Governor must also fly the opposing team’s flag in his office on the day before the Super Bowl.===

    The day before the Super Bowl is Saturday, so this is kind of a meaningless wager then, isn’t it?


  20. - Cuban Pilot - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:48 pm:

    If GB wins, hizzoner must go cow-tipping before the super bowl;

    If Chicago wins, local yokel cant go cow tipping for at least one year


  21. - wordslinger - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:52 pm:

    If the Bears win, Daley gets to choose the vendors for Green Bay’s snow removal contracts.

    If the Packers win, the Green Bay mayor gets to run Chicago Streets and San.

    Now those are valuable prizes.


  22. - Rich Miller - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:53 pm:

    shore, you’re absolutely right. Just another PQ bungle.


  23. - amalia - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 12:57 pm:

    same bet. I love that bet! if the Bears lose, the sight of the Mayor and the Governor working, perhaps together, at a food pantry is just the kind of thing we need right now. Why not?


  24. - da bears - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 1:07 pm:

    I think Green Bay is anticipating some, uh, pretty high stakes. The city’s bio of the mayor has “(1958- )” next to his photograph (i.e. the designation for born/died). A little strange and ominous if you ask me!

    http://www.ci.green-bay.wi.us/mayor/AbouttheMayor.html


  25. - unclesam - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 1:22 pm:

    If GB mayor ensures Bears victory, Da Mayor leaves GB alone.

    If GB mayor does not play ball, Da Mayor cannot control everyone from Chicago who may have a beef with the Packers.

    Oh wait…that was the bet during the 1941 game.


  26. - jerry 101 - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 1:56 pm:

    If that team up north wins, then the Mayor has to learn the mayor of that other town’s name.

    When the Bears win, well…I got nothing. What would anyone in Chicago want from that crummy little hamlet up north?


  27. - Aldyth - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 2:02 pm:

    Greenbay pays off in top quality bratwurst
    Chicago pays off in the best Italian sausage anywhere


  28. - Wumpus - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 2:04 pm:

    They trade nephews. If Bears win, Green Bay Mayor gets daley’s nephew. If Grren Bay Wins, Mayor Dley keeps his nephew


  29. - Muskrat - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 2:04 pm:

    If GB wins, we have to rename Midway “Vince Lombardi Field” for a week.

    If we win, they have to change “Straubel International Airport” to “Straubel cow pasture and local aerodrome.”


  30. - dupage dan - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 2:32 pm:

    If Chicago wins, Green Bay’s mayor has to live in Wisconsin. If Green Bay wins, Chicago’s mayor will have to live in (Oxford) Wisconsin.


  31. - Commonsense in Illinois - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 2:46 pm:

    If Green Bay wins, a Italian Sausage and Good Island beer festival.

    If Chicago wins, GB has to take Roland Burris, tombstone and all…


  32. - Kyle Orton's Neck Beard - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 2:59 pm:

    If Green Bay wins, the lions in front of the Art Institute sport Packer helmets until the Super Bowl concludes. If Chicago wins, the prow of the funky art museum in Milwaukee is painted orange and blue and speakers continuously play “Bear Down, Chicago Bears” 24 hours/day until the Super Bowl concludes.


  33. - Not So Quick . . . - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 3:33 pm:

    If by some extreme stroke of luck the Packers should win, Gov Quinn should fly the Packers flag uspside down and wear the shirt inside-out.


  34. - Just The Way It Is One - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 5:01 pm:

    If we win, GB Mayor must send the Greater Chicagoland Food Depository enough bratwursts to feed the total # of residents of Green Bay– who’d otherwise eat ‘em themselves watching the Super Bowl IF the BEARS weren’t in it…(no need to suggest what Daley would have to send them, Rich, to finish answering your Question, ‘cuz that ain’t gonna happen)!!! By the way, folks, SO many of your responses have left me in stitches! (just sayin’ and Oswego Willy were a couple of my personal favorites)…!


  35. - Rich Miller - Wednesday, Jan 19, 11 @ 5:04 pm:

    I would repeat my favorite from yesterday, with appropriate name changes…

    If Bears win, [Cheesehead mayor] gives [Daley] that piece of tin foil that amused him so when they met. If the Packers win, we come with torches and burn Wisconsin to the ground.
