Bibb took to Twitter, inviting Gainey to make a wager on the game. The price: popcorn.
Bibb offered up his hometown Campbell’s Sweets Factory, while Gainey, accepting, wagered Pittsburgh Popcorn.
Gainey and Bibb were both sworn in as mayor in January. At 35, Bibb is Cleveland’s first “millenial” mayor.
The Steelers and Browns both head into tonight’s game with one win and one loss. Coverage starts at 6 p.m. and kick off is at 8:15 p.m. right here on WPXI.
