More than the Lombardi Trophy is at stake in the outcome of Sunday’s Super Bowl.

Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato and Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Max Wilson today made a friendly wager on the outcome of Super Bowl XLIII between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals.

On behalf of Allegheny County, Onorato is wagering: $1,500 of Dick’s Sporting Goods merchandise donated by the Pittsburgh-based company for the Boys & Girls Club of Maricopa County; a framed print donated by the Andy Warhol Museum; a case of Italian sausage courtesy of Ricci’s Italian Sausage of McKees Rocks (owner Ernie Ricci is a 1977 graduate of Washington & Jefferson College); five dozen Steelers Smiley Cookies from Eat’n Park; and Heart & Soul Healthy Lemonade from Heart & Soul Foods Inc. of Gibsonia.

On behalf of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Wilson is wagering: $1,050 of PING golf products custom made in Maricopa County. The items will be donated to First Tee of Pittsburgh at Pleasant Ridge in Stowe Township in partnership with Allegheny County Housing Authority; a framed photograph by Arizona photographer David MacDougal; four dozen tamales courtesy of Mary Rose Wilcox, Maricopa County Supervisor and owner of El Portal Mexican Restaurant; and four dozen homemade tortillas and four pounds of homemade chorizo from Carolina’s Mexican Restaurant.
