PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on PGHHockeyNOW.
On Tuesday, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and colorful ESPN show host Pat McAfee made a bet, pending the outcome of the Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Round One series.
On the McAfee show, Shapiro admitted to being a Flyers fan and is backing them in the Battle of PA. In a full Yinzer accent, McAfee bet Shapiro that if the Flyers win, he would wear a suit on the show. However, should the favored Penguins win, Shapiro agreed to wear a tank top to work for one day.
THAT'S A BET @GovernorShapiro
