The local Fox 5 affiliate held a good-natured bet with the Fox affiliate in Cleveland before the Cavs-Hawks Eastern Conference final series. The losing city affiliate would have to wear the other city's shirts, eat their food and read an essay espousing how great the other city is.
Unfortunately for WAGA-TV, the Atlanta Hawks were swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers. So soon, you'll be seeing Ken Rodriguez, Russ Spencer and Cynne Simpson in Cavaliers gear and eating Cleveland fare (Buckeye chocolates, Stadium Mustard). The gloating Cleveland broadcasters at Fox 8 also provided tissues and sent off the "loser box" Friday.
I'll add the video from Fox 5 once it happens.
