How interesting it is, that in the season of the flag controversy, the two teams with the most patriotic names made it to the Super Bowl, the Eagles and the Patriots.
The Patriots hail from the Boston area, site of so many scenes from the Revolutionary War -- the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston. The Eagles hail from Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed as the city served as a meeting place for the founding fathers and as one of the capitals at the time of the Revolution. The battle of Germantown and the Siege of Fort Mifflin took place in that area.
