Green Bay Rockers News Release
As Green Bay prepares to tackle Pittsburgh in football's big game in two weeks, the Green Bay Bullfrogs have challenged another team from Washington, Pennsylvania to a bet over whose hometown team will prevail in February. On the line: the public humiliation of one team ¬â¢s mascot.
Washington ¬â¢s mascot, the Wild Thing, made a bet with Jeremiah of the Green Bay Bullfrogs that if Pittsburgh loses in Dallas on February 6th, he will wear a Cheesehead during the Wild Things first homestand of the season. If Green Bay loses, Jeremiah must carry and wave a Terrible Towel at that team ¬â¢s first game.
Todd Marlin, managing director of the Wild Things and spokesperson for the team ¬â¢s mascot, said, "The Wild Thing is completely confident that the black and gold will be victorious and claim their seventh title that he has told Jeremiah that he should be prepared to taunt the Green Bay faithful with a Terrible Towel this summer...he even suggested that Jeremiah start practicing a routine to ¬ËRenegade ¬â¢ to go with his towel waving."
Jeremiah fired back through his spokesperson, Bullfrogs Owner and President Jeff Royle. "Jeremiah has no concerns about having to wave that towel during our first homestand in June. Just as he has done since he was a little tadpole, the Green Bay players will be leaping into the stands all game long. He is very confident that the Championship Trophy will be brought home to Green Bay where it belongs. The Wild Thing should be prepared to strap on that Cheesehead and wear it proudly."
In addition to the mascots ¬â¢ wager, the front offices of the two teams have put some local cuisine on the line.
If Green Bay wins the bet, the Wild Things will send a package including Penn Brewery beers, Albert ¬â¢s Meats, Sarris Candies and homemade pierogies.
If the Wild Things win the bet, the Bullfrogs will send a package including "Johnny Blood" Titletown Beer from Titletown Brewing Company, Renard's Cheese Curds and Klement's Bratwursts, plus the offer of a free haircut for Pittsburgh ¬â¢s famously coifed No. 43 at Shear Sports Barber Shop.
