As an Eagles fan, I find it extremely difficult to root for either the New England Patriots or the New York Giants. When Sunday rolls around, I'm pretty sure there is no way I can cheer for the Eli Manning-led G-Men. Can any self respecting Philadelphia fan cheer for a team from New York to win the Super Bowl? I say no.
Comcast SportsNet's Phil Andrews took to the streets -- and not just any streets, he hits up the Philadelphia institutions of Pat's and Geno's cheesesteaks -- to gauge the general rooting interest among Philadelphians. I was a bit shocked to see so much support for the team closest up the Northeast Corridor. The fans interviewed for the video also don't enlighten us with any Stephen A. Smith eloquence. The guy at the one minute mark says he's cheering for New York because the Patriots are "junk." Brilliant!
Will it be Tom Brady or Eli Manning? Who you got?

As an Eagles fan I also find it difficult to root for the Giants. I did during the New York/Dallas game and and hated every minute of it. But it is who you're rooting against. I do not want to see the Pats go totally undefeated. It's all we will hear about for the next 30 or 40 years. Then again, who wants Eli Manning to win the Super Bowl? I know I don't. It's a no win situation for us.
