This from the Boston.com blog from Arizona....
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- God bless our marketing department.
Some clever mind had the foresight to send a bunch of our red and blue "Go Pats!" signs, along with a swarm of those cardboard hats with the Flying Elvis on each side (think: the Burger King crown if there was a Patriots promotion going on).
Anyhow, there are locals handing these items out up here at University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the NFL Experience and Sunday's Super Bowl XLII. People are grabbing these things as if we're giving away dollar bills. Are we sure Pacman Jones isn't in town? If he were to make it rain with these things, he'd probably trigger a stampede.
So you've got Arizonans decked out in Matt Leinart jerseys with a Flying Elvis hat on and Packers fans wearing Brett Favre replicas with "Go Pats!" signs under each arm.
But nothing was quite as entertaining as the Giants fan wearing a Plaxico Burress jersey and trying to get his Flying Elvis headwear to stay on as he walked toward the gates.
"It was free," he said, as if trying to explain his egregious display of team disloyalty.
It's understandable. The only thing people like more than a winner is free stuff.
