With the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks about to battle for the NBA title, Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Texas Gov. Rick Perry put their own state’s products, and bragging rights, on the line Tuesday.

Scott put up a key lime pie against Perry’s case of Texas barbecue sauce on the outcome of the best-of-seven-games series. Scott may have already tried to get inside Perry’s head by warning earlier this month that he wanted to top Texas’ best-in-the-nation for business title.

Perry, meanwhile, is talking about running for president. Scott is still dissecting last week’s Quinnipiac University poll and his cratering popularity level.
