The Super Bowl ended more than 520 hours ago, and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has STILL not made good on his bet with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer:
The governor of Massachusetts has yet to hand over the items he wagered on the Super Bowl three weeks ago.
Governor Eliot Spitzer's office says it has not received the two-dozen dinners from Legal Sea Foods and several pints of Brigham's ice cream.
Outrage! (Maybe Patrick's been too busy giving stuff away to other people?)
In local news, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg did recieve (and donate to charity) the pay-out from a similar bet he made with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino: "100 cups of clam chowder, 12 dozen Boston cream pies, and more than $2,000 [worth of] footballs."
