(AP) — For the record: the New England Patriots and
the New York Giants really hope to beat one another
Sunday.
Be it on the field, court, diamond or ice, that’s how it
is between Beantown and the Big Apple.
Think of Boston Pops vs. Metropolitan Opera. "Bos­
ton Legal" vs. “Law & Order." Boston eream pie vs. New
York cheesecake. New England clam chowder vs. Man­
hattan elatn chowder.
Culture or colleges, politicians or players, bring it on.
It’s a long-running rivalry — say, Boston Marathon
vs. New York City Marathon — that dates to the original
Patriots and settlers. Maybe Paul Revere vs. Henry
Hudson, right up to Mitt Romney vs. Rudy Giuliani.
Now, it’s the biggest game in America.
Among the fans was Paul Redmond, wearing a Patriots
shirt. "I think of classic good vs. evil, right vs. wrong,"
he said. “Any stereotype you could use when you pit two
people or groups against each other."
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, meanwhile, got New York Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer wipes his brow during a practice
his start in the Hub. "I can tell you that when I lived in the to prepare for Sunday's Super Bowl game against the New England Patriots.

Boston metropolitan area, they did not have a football
team. So nobody can accuse me of having been a Patriot
fan. I am a New York fan," he said.
The most intense matchups between Boston and New
York came in other sports.
The Y ankees-RedSox rivalry might be the most charged
in sports, heightened by what’s happened in October.
New York beat Boston in Game 7 of the 2003 American
League championship series. The next year, the Red Sox
became the only team in baseball history to rally from a 3-
0 deficit in the postseason.
After all those years of watching the Yankees win, the
Red Sox and their fans can gloat with a pairof World Series
titles in four seasons. Their success carries over into other
sports.
“Right now the competition between the Red Sox and
Yankees kind of parlays into the Rangers and Bruins,”
Boston defenseman Aaron Ward said. "It’s always fun to
beat New York. And when I was in New York, it was always
fun to beat Boston.”

Dear Deanna!
I dated my boyfriend forexaetly 10
years and I issued an ultimatum
that we become engaged or married
and he said no. It hurt but I took
action. I packed his clo th e s,
changed the locks and discon­
nected the phone. I look a chance
because we were apart for almost a
year and then he came back. How­
ever, while separated he got some­
one else pregnant and now he wants
me to accept this and a marriage
proposal. What should I do? -

can’t force a man to marry you if
he’s not ready. When you kicked
him out in the cold, he didn’t hesi­
tate to find another warm bed. You
shouldn't accept his proposal at
this time because you see he didn’t
try to keep you when you tried to
keep him. He's running from a preg­
nant fling, facing c hild support and
you're the stability in the middle of
his mess. You should cherish the
memories, remain friends and if
things work out, fine, if not, con­
tinue to take things one day a, a
time and see what happens.
Dear Deanna!

During this period, I met my hus­

T here’s nothing worse than set­

Y ou've exhausted your time, your

Dear Anonymous:
You set yourself up with this one
and now you can either cause
more problem s by filing a com ­
plaint or let her play it. Y ourbest
bet is to let her know there were
two o f you out there and you
could do the same to her but
y o u 're more mature. Politely ask
her to stop and let her know that
you d o n 't plan to quit nor lose
your jo b behind her games. In the
long run, don’t make the same
mistake and keepyourdirty laun­
dry at home.
