Denver mayor Michael Hancock has paid dearly for the Denver Broncos' playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Broncos' 38-35 defeat in double overtime Saturday dropped Hancock into the loss column of a bet he made with Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. Along with shipping a crate of dry-aged "cowboy cut" rib-eye steaks to Baltimore's political leader, Hancock was tasked with performing a public rendition of the "squirrel dance," the pregame routine made famous by Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis.
Those plans are on hold after Hancock hurt himself Monday night preparing for the jig.
Vote for the top 10 plays of the 2012 season. More ... Amber Miller, the mayor's spokeswoman, told The Denver Post he was injured "during pregame warm-ups," but is "expected to be on the field in the second half, ready to carry out the game plan and fulfill his end of the wager."
Overly ripe attempts at football jargon aside, the spin is on -- and the squirrel is on hold.
Had Peyton Manning and friends endured, Baltimore's Washington Monument would have been lit in Broncos colors and Hancock would be dining tonight on fresh, broiled crab cakes.
Chalk it up to yet another high-stakes mayoral diversion gone very, very wrong.
I once saved a drowning squirrel with a hoe...but it wasn’t in Denver.
That be sounding kinda kinky, bro’.
"...once saved a drowning hoe by throwing her a squirrel"
Rasist! (Mayor Hancock be black)
So. Baltimore’s all fixed up and the mayor has nothing better to do?
You could have thrown the hoe a bone and saved the squirrel...
I was trying to get rid of both....

Note to Mayor: Next time (God please let there be a next time) just bet the steaks and forget about the silly dance.
But he's part of Bloomberg's gang, as was his predecessor, the current governor.
Sounds like he 'Hillaried' himself.
That’s what they call that stupid self-aggrandizing me-me-me dance the murderer Ray Lewis does?
And while I’m at it, guess what Denver? Tim Tebow has more playoff wins in the last year as a starting NFL quarterback than Peyton Manning. Oh well...
