re: Is Jacksonville the most bland US city/pro team combination?

OK, so you make flawed generalizations about cities, most of which have millions of people and thousands of businesses in them. After making those, you then proceed to educate us all as to why their team doesn't belong in the big game. Or why others should be in.

You praise the Green Bay Pakcers as a sports franchise because the fans in the state put foam rubber "cheese blocks" on their heads. That's somehow praiseworthy?

Yes it's fun, and it's a "thing" for sports fans, but to assert that this makes a town? And making the town makes the team a better candidate for a championship even though they didn't earn it on the field?

Madness.
