This Sunday is the big day: Super Bowl XLIII!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss updates on Procurement & Supply Chain, Subscribe here!<\/a><\/p>\n

And there\u2019s a purchasing and supply management connection.<\/p>\n

The Super Bowl will pit the Steelers against the Cardinals.<\/p>\n

The Steelers are from Pittsburgh. The Cardinals are from Arizona.<\/p>\n

Next Level Purchasing is based in Pittsburgh. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) is based in Arizona.<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t this beg for the type of bet that mayors typically make on big sports games? Like how the Glendale, Arizona mayor challenged Pittsburgh\u2019s 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what should we bet?<\/p>\n

Maybe Mr. Novak would have to spend an hour outside in Pittsburgh\u2019s freezing February weather<\/a> if the Steelers win while I would have to spend an hour outside in Arizona\u2019s sweltering February weather if the Cardinals win.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I\u2019d take that bet!<\/p>\n

What funny bets would you suggest?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
