Mayor Hancock Once Again Putting Up Famous Green Chili In Super Bowl Wager

DENVER (CBS4) - It's worked so far in the playoffs, so Denver Mayor Michael Hancock is once again wagering green chili on the outcome of Sunday's game.

In a bet made over the phone Monday with Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, Hancock also offered up a hoodie, ball cap and skis.

It was a nice gesture, but when the Broncos win Murray will send salmon, Dungeness crab, a road bike and piece of artistic glass.

"The Seahawks and their top-ranked defense will face our Broncos – the greatest, most high-powered offense to ever take the field. Given that matchup, I'm fairly confident that what I'm putting on the line isn't going anywhere," Hancock said in a prepared statement.
