      Okay, we normally save our photo-caption contest for elections, but this image is too good to pass up.

      This official picture shows Toronto mayor Rob Ford and Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson holding on to the same football. Robertson is actually giving Ford the ball, which was signed by the B.C. Lions. Ford is probably wondering how little he'll get for it at the pawnshop.

      Anyways, this is how Caption the Political Photo works. If you were Ford and/or Robertson, what would you be saying in this picture? Tell us in the comments section below, on our Facebook page, or on our Pinterest board.

      We'll repost the photo tomorrow (March 14) using our favourite submission.

      Update (March 14): And the winner is... the commenter hiding behind the name "Bill McCreery1". Thanks for playing.

      Huge disconnect here! Obviously the only thing they have in common to discuss are the differing styles of response to one's Stanley Cup riot and another's violent G12 debacle! So i guess Ford would be saying out loud, " VEGGIE STONER WEST COAST WIMP" ( sorry, it's his style)., and our Gregor would be thinking, "Jeez chill, you heart attack waiting to happen narrow minded incredibly stupid CLOSE THE LIBRARIES??? Mayor-Poser!" Really.

      RF > I have tried every diet in the book Gregor. I am so frustrated. I will let you be my coach if you promise to take some homeless people off my hands.

      GR> When you get back from those laps Rob we'll talk about it.

      RF: Speaking of pigskin, we're eliminating pork from City Hall.

      GR: Better make yourself scarce.

      They're both thinking..."Feel like I'm standing here with a big turd - and I don't mean the football..."

      Looks like I won the popular vote but lost in the delegate count. I can also take comfort in knowing the best man won!
