The Super Bowl celebrations are still going on. Throughout the course of the game, there were a couple of mentions about players who grew up in New Orleans coming home for the big game.

The thrill may be just a little greater for them for that reason, but it serves to point out that players come from all around to form a team. Those players, Baltimore safety Ed Reed as an example, went off to college elsewhere and played their professional games elsewhere. In the meantime, they had to form bonds with new team members who also came from other places. Boundaries disappear when it comes to sports.
