Michele Turner, of Teaneck, N.J., takes a picture of a
building displaying the likeness of the Vince Lombardi
Trophy Friday in Indianapolis. The New England Patriots are
scheduled to face the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI
in Indianapolis on Sunday, and the Midwest is providing
many East Coasters a sort of culture shock.
Dressed in the standard
team sweat suit, Notre
Dame sophomore guard Eric
Atkins accessorized in his
own way a recent road game.
Atkins emerged from the
Irish locker room early last
month with a stocking cap
bearing the colors and new
logo of the NBA’s Washington
Wizards, the closest the
Columbia, Md., resident can
come to
claiming a
hometown
team.
