time-honored tradition between top city politicians is underway. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner is placing a friendly wager with his counterpart, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.

When the Braves lose (manifest!), Bottoms will don an Astros jersey, a city press release notes. She will also send Turner some award-winning peach cobbler from the historic Paschal's restaurant, a case of Mayor Bottoms' favorite Cherry Coke Zero, beer from Best End Brewing Company, and a hammer from Home Depot in honor of Atlanta's home run hero Hammering "Hank" Aaron.

Should the Astros lose, the City of Houston will send Mayor Bottoms Brisket Fried Rice and Pork Ribs from Blood Brother's BBQ (lucky), a case of "H-Town Pils" beer from St. Arnold's Brewery, and tamales and lemonade from Irma's Original.

Perish the thought, but Mayor Turner will also sport a Braves jersey.

The friendly wager was announced via Instagram Live on October 26, to learn more visit CultureMap.com

COACH SPEAK?

Reacting to DeMeco Ryans’ revealing comments about Houston Texans QB

What will the Houston Texans do at QB this offseason? Is Texans QB Davis Mills still part of the team's plans at QB? DeMeco Ryans had some interesting comments about the Texans QB situation on The Rich Eisen Show. He mentioned the Texans already had one QB on the roster, that being Davis Mills.

When asked about the Texans plans with the No. 2 overall pick, he didn't mention a QB. He named Andre Johnson and JJ Watt as the type of players the team would love to draft. Does that mean the team isn't sold on drafting a QB early? Or is DeMeco just playing his cards close to the vest?

ESPN Houston's Jake Asman, Cody Stoots, and Brad Kellner reacted to his comments and much more on The Wheelhouse.
