So again why do people that live in SKINS country like RIVAL teams?

I think some of that comes from the fact that the Military/Govt. agencies bring in so many implants. That flip side could just be so many low IQ's and not knowing any better/bad parenting.....lol, really who knows. In general it is REDSKIN COUNTRY by LARGE!

Freeney ready to go vs. Saints


ESPN.com news services


Barring any last minute setbacks, Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney will start in the Super Bowl against the New Orleans Saints, sources tell ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.
Freeney arrived at Sun Life Stadium at 1:50 p.m. Sunday and began receiving treatment on his torn right ankle ligament, according to Paolantonio.
He watched the Colts' final Super Bowl practice from a golf cart on Saturday.
The All-Pro defensive end hasn't practiced since tearing a ligament in his right ankle late in the AFC title game Jan. 24.
Indianapolis coach Jim Caldwell said Freeney had improved from Friday to Saturday. Freeney has played through pain before this season. He didn't miss a game after straining a quadriceps in late September, an injury that reportedly should have kept him out for up to a month.
Some have speculated Freeney may move from the right side to the left so he can push off his good ankle, but Freeney said Thursday a switch to the opposite side wouldn't make much difference.
