Mayor Hancock Looks Forward To Eating Crab Cakes From Baltimore

DENVER (CBS4) - Denver Mayor Michael Hancock is so confident in the Broncos that he's made a friendly wager with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

The mayor of the losing team will send the other food that is unique to his or her city. If the Broncos lose, Hancock will send Rawlings-Blake a box of dry aged "cowboy cut" rib eye steaks from Lombardi Brothers Meats.

Additionally, Hancock agreed to perform the famous Ray Lewis pre-game dance.

"Denver is looking forward to an exciting game with the Ravens, and I expect an Orange Wave to come out on top at the end of the fourth quarter," Mayor Hancock said. "Behind the high powered offense led by Peyton Manning and shut down defense led by Champ Bailey, Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller, the Broncos are playing at the top of their game. The road to the Super Bowl runs right through Denver, and I can't think of a better city to host Ray Lewis' last game of his acclaimed career."

Mayor Rawlings-Blake agreed to send a platter of broiled crab cakes from J. W. Faidley Seafood in Baltimore's historic Lexington Market. She will also order Baltimore's historic Washington Monument to be bathed in blue and orange light.

"For five consecutive years, our Ravens have made the playoffs with an increasingly potent offense and historically dominant defense, led by All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis. I am excited to watch them win another game on the road to the Super Bowl," Rawlings-Blake said. "This is, of course, Ray Lewis' final post-season as a Raven. He and his teammates are playing with a renewed sense of camaraderie and urgency which the Denver Broncos will be unable to match."

Hancock said he looks forward to dining on the crab cakes, which have been noted in the New York Times as "the single best crab cake in Baltimore, if not the Western Hemisphere."
