wrong ! WRONG !! untrue!  UNTRUE !!  I was geboren in New York City, raised 
in Westchester County suburbs, practiced law in NYC all my adult life until 
moving to Saratoga Springs in 1994 and I LOVE Chicago. I'm there at least 
twice a year. The only antipathy I have toward ANYTHING Chicagoan is:

1. Chicago Bears
2. Chicago Bulls
3. Chicago Blackhawks

Nota bene: I do not list the Chicago Cubs. I'm always rooting for the 
Cubbies except when they're competing with the Mets.

Thanks for the opportunity to be windy, Jim.  P.S. I'm also an absentee Vol 
[by adoption]. Old enough to tell you I was rooting for them when General 
Neyland was running things; old enough to remember that in 1951, the 
runner-up to Dick Kazmaier of Princeton (yes, folks a Princeton football 
player won the Heisman Trophy), was a Tennessee 'triple-threat' tailback 
named Hank Lauricella.
