Which team you root for doesn't necessarily relate to where you're from. I root for the Dallas Mavericks (NBA) because my college basketball hero (from the college I actually went to) plays for them, and the Indianapolis Colts (NFL) because I like the way they play the game and I have a crush on Peyton Manning. Of course, I always root for the home team when they're playing, but I'm from DC -- all my home teams suck. :p
EDIT: Just wanted to clarify that I am not by any means a fan to the extent that the guy in the OP is -- I own two pieces of sports memorabilia: a child-size Nationals jersey and a Colts tank top that a friend screen-printed for me. My bf is an obsessive sports fan, but more obsessed about the games themselves than about his teams in particular.
