Chilly Willy Mayor - San Diego Mayor Pays Up, Rubs it in

San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders is a man of his word. After his Chargers lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend, Mayor Sanders had to pay up by donning some Steelers gear and heading to the coldest place in San Diego - the Penguin Exhibit at SeaWorld. The ground rules for this friendly political wager was that the loser had to wear the opponents jersey and head to the place that most resembles the winner's hometown.

It was a friendly wager Mayor Jerry Sanders, a week ago, was sure he would win. Unfortunately, the Chargers couldn't come through last Sunday against the Steelers. Now it's time for Mayor Jerry Sanders to honor his bet with Pittsburgh's mayor. That means donning a Steelers jersey while hanging out with the penguins at Sea World.

Sanders was photographed inside the Penguin Encounter exhibit at SeaWorld, wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers hat and jersey, holding a "terrible towel," in salute of the black and gold defense, and standing next to a pair of skis.

That was the bet Sanders made with Ravenstahl before the game.

Had the unthinkable happened and the Chargers won, Ravenstahl would have had to return a photo of himself in Chargers swim trunks, standing with a surfboard donated by Bob's Mission Surf Shop in front of one of Pittsburgh's three rivers.

Turns out, the good folks in San Diego aren't the best losers. They couldn't help themselves. While much of the country is in a deep freeze, they had to point out how good it is to live in San Diego.

"It was 20 degrees in the Penguin Encounter -- a lot like Pittsburgh, in fact. When I walked outside, it was a perfect San Diego day -- sunny and 75. In San Diego, even when we lose, we win," Sanders said.

Thanks for reminding us, Mayor. Full Video below:
