Regional sports teams

The New England Patriots did more than make me cheer for the Giants last night. They made me think, "Why alienate groups of potential fans by being too local?" A couple of name changes came to mind instantly: Midwest Chiefs and Rocky Mountain Broncos. Further discussion led to Almost Canadian Bills and Great Lakes Lions.

Or maybe it's just dumb they're not the Boston Patriots.
