New England/New York football rivalry on the set of Blue Bloods

The Boston Herald posted a new article about the New England/New York football rivalry on the set of Blue Bloods.
Actor Donnie Wahlberg loves the Patriots. Everyone he works with — not so much.
So when the possibility of a Patriots/Giants Super Bowl rematch became a reality, the natural rivalries on the New York-based set of his CBS show “Blue Bloods” (Friday at 10 p.m. on WBZ, Ch. 4) cranked up.
“It’s already out of control,” the Dorchester native said. “It’s great, though, everybody has a great rapport down here, but everyone is a Giants or a Jets fan. Football season is absolutely insane.”
The ribbing and pranks are all in good fun, but Wahlberg makes no secret of his devotion to the hometown teams.
“Everyone knows I love my Boston teams,” he said. “So I go into my dressing room, and there are Eli Manning posters on the wall. I show up on set, and everyone is wearing Giants jerseys.
“It’s great and a lot of fun. The idea of a Pats-Giants Super Bowl has the whole set buzzing. I know it’s going to be the greatest time around.”
