GROVER BEACH
Local Superbowl winner played for both teams

The owner of a local bar has two good reasons why he couldn't decide who to root for in the Superbowl.
Tom Rehder owns Mongo's Saloon and Restaurant in Grover Beach, and he played in the NFL. He got drafted by the New England Patriots, but he won a Superbowl with the New York Giants in 1990.
He doesn't think that the Eli Manning-led Giants stack up to the team he played on.
"Lotta talent that year. And we were on a roll. But then again, the game has really changed, the players have changed, they have a different technique. But, of course, I'm always going to pick my year," said Tom Rehder, owner of Mongo's Saloon and Restaurant.
Rehder says, whoever wins, he wins, as he has great memories with both teams.
