A Super Bowl Bet for Foxborough?

In what is the annual tradition of a "friendly bet" between government officials during championship games, this year's Super Bowl match up between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants proves no different.

On the heels of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's "friendly Super Bowl wager," Foxborough selectmen discussed reaching out to the board of selectmen in East Rutherford, New Jersey to place their own "choice bet."

"Last time we were in the Super Bowl with the Giants, [we reached out] to the board in East Rutherford," said selectman Mark Sullivan. 

Board members recalled the last Super Bowl between the rival teams, making a "choice bet" to wager clam chowder on Foxborough's end and homemade pizza on East Rutherford's end.

Sullivan said that he has reached out to them, but so far, no response back. He noted that he would continue to try.
