Waukesha Patch is delivering smack talk all week long with Upper St. Clair Patch.

Waukesha Patch is teaming up with Upper St. Clair Patch to deliver friendly smack talk before the Green Bay Packers take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. Go to the Upper St. Clair Patch site and let those cheeseheads know just how the Steelers will embarrass the Packers (or vice versa).

One day after the Mayor Jeff Scrima issued , not only did the Upper St. Clair Board of Commissioners President accept, he upped the ante.

Robert Orchowski has agreed to run or walk the point differential of the game's outcome in miles. Although Orchowski does not have the marathon experience that Scrima has, he is not worried.

"We have, and what I will take advantage of, is one of the finest recreation centers in the country, along with a professional training staff," Orchowski said. "So I think we're on even terms."

He also challenged the mayor of Waukesha to turn the friendly wager into a fundraiser for his community if the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Green Bay Packers. If the Steelers lose, which Orchowski said will not happen, he plans to put together some kind of benefit walk or run in Upper St. Clair and will donate $100.
