COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The mayors of Columbus and New York are putting beer, chocolate and pizza on the line over Sunday's Major League Soccer Cup Final.

Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman is promising a package of Ohio State Buckeye candies - a chocolate-and-peanut butter concoction in the shape of a buckeye - and a case of beer from the Columbus Brewing Co. should the New York Red Bulls win.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is promising even more if the Columbus Crew win: a large pizza from Basille's Restaurant on Staten Island, a sandwich from Carnegie Deli in Manhattan and a case of Brooklyn Lager from Brooklyn Brewery.
