Football hotbed: Silicon Valley

[Fencer]

We all know that Tom Brady is from San Mateo, California, and that a couple of other great athletes also went to his high school. But I didn't realize that Julian Edelman grew up a few minutes from there, or that his Pop Warner team was generally superb.

Those are all towns near each other in the heart of Silicon Valley. I drive through and by them, or visit them, each time I go to California on business.
