My new favorite Super Bowl tradition

Art bets!

Like last year, the Super Bowl contenders' home town museums have made a friendly wager over the outcome of the game. The Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh has bet Renoir's Bathers with Crab that the Steelers will win Sunday. In return, The Milwaukee Art Museum has bet one of their star works, Caillebotte's Boating on the Yerres. As usual, my favorite part is the trash-talking going on between museum directors. I'll throw in my two-cents and say that being a Bears fan, I can't root for the Packers in good conscience, so go Steelers!
