This Sunday is the big day: Super Bowl XLIII!
Don’t miss updates on Procurement & Supply Chain, Subscribe here!
And there’s a purchasing and supply management connection.
The Super Bowl will pit the Steelers against the Cardinals.
The Steelers are from Pittsburgh. The Cardinals are from Arizona.
Next Level Purchasing is based in Pittsburgh. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) is based in Arizona.
Doesn’t this beg for the type of bet that mayors typically make on big sports games? Like how the Glendale, Arizona mayor challenged Pittsburgh’s mayor to plant a cactus outside of Heinz Field if the Cardinals win or plant a Pennsylvania tree outside of University of Phoenix Stadium if the Cardinals win.
So what should we bet?
Maybe Mr. Novak would have to spend an hour outside in Pittsburgh’s freezing February weather if the Steelers win while I would have to spend an hour outside in Arizona’s sweltering February weather if the Cardinals win.
Yeah, I’d take that bet!
What funny bets would you suggest?

As for your bet with ISM, the loser has to put a link to the winner’s web site on their home page.
But to have some real high-stake impact, the losing city has to send their team to Detroit and gets the Lions in return.
Not to rip on the Lions or anything, but those stakes would be way too high for any sane person to accept irrespective of how much confidence s/he had in his/her team!
How about the winner get the Red Wings instead?
Thanks for chiming in, Jeff.
