Maybe this was just a staff-level typo … still, it’s bizarre. This just showed up on Twitter:
Scott P. Brown @ScottBrownMA
The bet is on! The Super Bowl wager is that Giuliani will wear a Yankees hat to a Sox game when the Giants lose. Thanks for everyone’s input
Now, I’m no sports professional, but it sure seems to me that if the Giants lose, Rudy Giuliani should have to wear a Red Sox hat to a Yankees-Red Sox game. So this “wager” seems exactly backward. #FAIL
This gaffe might not be quite in the Coakley/Schilling league, but it’s yet another sloppy mistake in a race where Brown is going to have to bring his “A” game to have a chance.
UPDATE: Sure enough, it was a boo-boo. Here’s the latest:
Meant that Rudy will wear Sox hat to Fenway when Giants lose! Even better!
Great! Glad we’ve clarified that! Why are we ending all our sentences with exclamation points!

Just for laughs.

Aren’t these bets usually made between between people in peer positions; e.g., governor vs. governor or mayor vs. mayor? Why is a sitting senator betting against a former mayor / presidential wanna-be?
Does he not know who the senators from NY are? Or how to use Google to find them?
Why did all of my sentences end in question marks instead of exclamations points?
