you seem like a reasonable guy, I appreciate your response and respect your opinion. Not that I agree with everything you say, but sports opinions are subjective. I guess I'm just an old fashioned guy and couldn't imagine Jeter prancing around Boston in a Pats cap, or Pedroia strutting around NYC with NY Giants cap on.

Are you sure it's not just a safety precaution on his part? Maybe the guy is just trying to save money on bodyguards? Imagine, not only he's the NE quarterback he'd be also wearing the Red Sox cup in the Yankee-land. If I know anything about New York, I know that that would be asking for trouble.
As for the Giants wins, dude, both of those wins were as much of accidental wins, as during the last Superball. The Manningham catch and the helmet catch? Come on, Eli was just lucky. In any 7 game series against any of those two Patriot teams the Giants wouldn't stand a chance. So it's fair that the Pats finally won, especially if it was on the similar type of play as did the Giants earlier. Btw I'd say Brady has (at least!) one more Superball victory in him before he is through. By the time he is done he's got to make sure that there is no doubt in regards to him being better QB then Montana. I actually think there is no doubt now, imagine if year after year Brady would have the same receiving corps as did Montana at SF?
Anyway, I was actually wondering what would happen if they'd had a native-based team tournaments, with teams comprising only of those who are born and raised in their respective regions (like NE vs. NY, Southern Cal vs. Northern Cal and the like). Wouldn't that be great? I bet the players would play their hearts out and the fans would feel much more vested into their teams knowing that they're actually rooting for "their boys".
I remember when for a short while NHL tried an all-star format with North America vs. the World (i.e. Europe). I remember I really enjoyed watching those games. I bet now they can have a pretty good game doing the same thing with the NBA too.
Any physical affiliation would make a difference. Dreams dreams dreams... dre-e-e-e-eams
