NEARLY EVERY STATE IS ROOTING FOR THE EAGLES

                                                                         

_ It seems that if you aren’t a New England Patriots fan then you are passionately rooting against them — no matter who they’re playing. In the wake of Sunday’s AFC and NFC Championship games which saw the New England Patriots win a spot in their second consecutive Super Bowl (and third in four years) after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Philadelphia Eagles triumphant over the Minnesota Vikings — the Twitterverse was not divided over who it was rooting for. A virtual map based on geotagged Twitter data immediately after Sunday’s games shows that the entire U.S is hoping for an Eagles upset over Tom Brady and company — aside from the New England states (Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire), and bizarrely, North Dakota. •
