Dallas, TX - the city that GOD roots for... (although, I guess he's not much of a baseball fan!)

Also, where is America (other)?
Is that South America or the Caribbean? Or perhaps Hawaii & Alaska (or US territories, suchas Puerto Rico)?
I'm interested in this "other" America that you speak of...

I thought maybe you had inside knowledge on some sort of "Bizarro America"... You know, a place where refs call fouls on DWade everytime he touches the ball, Shaq doesn't have to elbow people in the face to dunk, Pat Riley doesn't have to snake a team out from under Van Gundy to be a winner again, and Antoine "Baby Face" Walker doesn't cry like he just dropped his ice cream every time he gets called for a penalty!

I guess I wasn't paying attention. I didn't know when Doc was in school.
