As part of his AFC Championship Jets/Steelers bet with Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, Mayor Bloomberg agreed to hoist the Steelers' "Terrible Towel" on a NYC landmark, and assemble care packages for soldiers who are back from overseas, while wearing a Steelers jersey. And the Mayor did so yesterday, donning a black Hines Ward uniform while putting the packages together...then we noticed what he was packaging: season six DVDs of Entourage.
While we obviously support the Mayor's work for veterans, there's something undeniably odd about him in his ill-fitting Steelers jersey, gift wrapping the coke-fueled exploits of Vince Chase and Johnny Drama for recently returned soldiers. What would you caption the photo?
