A case of Sam Adams vs. A box of grits.

Dave, Attleboro


I think the bet is lobsters versus BBQ ribs for 500 fans!

They get a Duck Tour Bus

We get a NASCAR Car

Gov. Romney would have to give Gov. Easley the Freedom Trail Tour in Boston pulling him along in a hand cart.

Gov. Easley would have to caddy for Gov. Romney at the Country Club of Gov. Romney's choice in North Carolina.

Mitch , Attleboro


Its obvious the two culures are different so isn't the food. Since so much of our religious lives are based on breaking bread to bridge gaps with one another. I'd suggest that each Governor invite the other to break bread over theit native meals. If the Panthers lose, they would invite the Ma Governor ( Mr Romney) to a "pig pickin"and if the Patriots lose they would invite the NC Governor (Mr Easley) to a NE lobster boil. As they break bread the governors might want to discuss an economic partnership between the 2 states or regions and bridge some gaps to promote economic prosperity for all.

Our weather for their weather (ahhh over 32 degress would be nice).

Debbie, Boston


I think the bet should be that the loser has to wear the opposing teams jersey in public for one day while people throw eggs at them.

George , East Boston


Baked Beans vs. Carolina BBQ sandwiches

An even bet would be for Easley to bet Rommey that if NC started its own big dig, they'ed be done before Bostons.

Colin, Salem, Ma.


If (when) the Patriots win every New England resident will receive a free round of championship golf. If the Panthers wwwwiii... (i can't even say it), they can take all the flying pigs and all the ice from hell and have a nice little Bar-B-Q.
