There is something of a tradition among politicians come playoff time in any sport: Wagers are placed, customarily with internal fare, and there is a certain volume of, well, trash-talking.

On Thursday, dual senators from Washington state lobbed a challenging bombardment in a tradition directed during a Green Bay Packers

“The Packers competence honour themselves on winning on Wisconsin’s solidified tundra, though a law is that a ‘12th Man’ provides a biggest home margin advantage in a NFL,” Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell bragged, referring to a Seattle Seahawks fans they design to spin out for a NFC championship diversion Sunday.

“It competence be cold in Green Bay, though it’s shrill in Seattle, and we’re looking brazen to a Seahawks win and some Wisconsin drink and cheese pleasantness of Senator (Tammy) Baldwin.”

Baldwin put some internal drink and cheese on a line — New Glarus Spotted Cow, Sprecher base drink and Renard’s cheese curds — while Cantwell and Murray ponied adult Rainier and Red Hook drink and Cougar Gold cheese from a Washington State University creamery.

“The usually thing ‘12’ represents is a series of a best quarterback in a NFL — Aaron Rodgers,” Baldwin retorted. “While a Seahawks competence be reigning Super Bowl champs, a Packers are staid to explain feat this Sunday and come one step closer to bringing a fifth Vince Lombardi Trophy home to Titletown, USA.”

Seattle is indeed adored to win, nonetheless nobody’s dismissing a Packers’ chances. Except maybe for a senators from Washington state.
