Nerd Mentality

You people don't realize just how bad the Patriots were at one poimt. They were the laughing stock of the NFL. In fact, just about 10 years ago, it was difficult just to watch a Patriots game becuase the Team has a rule that if the Stadium is not a certain percentage filled, they won't show the game becuase a half filled stadium would look bad. Since the Pats were terrible, no one went to the games and it was near impossible to see them. Kraft and Bellecheck really have turned things around. You may hate them, I'm proud of them.

Not airing the game unless it is a sell out in that teams area is an NFL rule.

Which is why it was near impossible to see a Pats game about 15 years ago.

Why would you want to watch a team that sucked though?



Now excuse me while I go buy some Brewer tickets.

I've lost count of how many shirts you've ruined over the past six years with that tic of yours.

Hmm, well, let's see. Who's in the SuperBowl? The two teams I hate the most.

Same here, I didn't care that much about the Falcons and Eagles, but I definately didn't want to see the Patriots in the SuperBowl, again.

Grimlock

Doesn't mean he was sick when he was on the field.

Way to underscore his tremendous, super-human achievement.

And, while I don't want them to, the Patriots will win this Super Bowl as well. Ah well.

Oh come now. There are far worse things that could happen. Like those dastardly damn Yankees winnin... no, no. Boston won. I'm not going to think about that.

On the subject of baseball, this is the year of the CUBS!!!!!!

This is acceptable, as long as the team you beat isn't Boston (obvious reasons) or Yankees (I don't want them getting further in the Playoffs than Boston).

The sox win 1 year and you never hear the end of it (I'm not ayankee fan btw...)

And I'll let the pats win this year, because once the OC and DC leave, it's the end of the dynasty! THen the fans can go back to never supporting the team (since the Pats have an amazing amount of bandwagon jumpers, and don't even try and argue that one!)

I'm from Boston, who do you expect me to support? And you mustn't know a lot about Boston sports fans to think there are a lot of bandwagon jumpers here.

Smells like maybe kharma was keeping them down for 80 years.

I totally expect you to support boston, but I'm on a few Jets messageboards, and even on there boston fans won't stfu about that win. I've got nothing against them, but it gets tiring hearing them tlak about it over and over.

And the pats have so many bandwagon jumpers. Even around where I live, suddenly everyone is a pats fan. And a few years back, I doubt anyone in boston actully gave a **** about the patsies (it's a baseball town, am I right?). Suddenly though, the pats sell out every game! Real fans are seen in places like Bufallo; a small market that supports there team in the wrost weather, even when they are one of the most dissapointing teams every year.

Oh my God, no. Ratings for Patriots games dwarf those of RedSox games. Hell, pre-season Patriots games get higher ratings than regular RedSox games (except for maybe a RedSox-Yankees game). Pats are HUGE in Boston as are the RedSox.

Shut up!

...my Saints were pretty good this year, anyway. Stupid Rams screwed everything up.

Not this year. 2005 will be the year they change everything.

HA! They say that every year! The Red Sox will win the World Series before that happens!

Seriously. It was not surprising at all to watch the Wildcard games go crazy and then the Divisionals get swept by the top seeds.

There was a great disparity in talent among NFL teams this year. Most teams blow chunks. They can, of course, look good against each other, but when they face the good teams, they get anally penetrated.

Except the jets/steelrs game, where a wild card team should have won

mcnabb should be lynched I swear. T.O. deserved the win after all the **** he has taking this year. mcnabb was playing as if this was some pre season warm up game.

So should Reed. What the hell was he thinking by running the ball with a minute left in the first half, not calling a time out and THEN finally throwing it down field. They could have come away with a 3 point lead at half.

And going for an onside kick with under 2 minutes left.

Seriously. TO played his heart out and played incredibly well. The blame rests solely on McNabb, and maybe the defense for letting Dillion tear them up in the seconld half.

Even Pinkston made some clutch catches for crying outloud.

It seems old McNabb is back. The one who lost 3 consecutive NFC Championships.

The real game changer was that terrible, TERRIBLE interception he threw to Teddy Buschi. Or maybe it was throwing into double coverage and getting picked after you just dodged a bullet the play before on a questionable penalty.

Yeah, he played bad.

And mithcell is such a joke. I remember him getting 1 catch (like 6 yards?) and that's all. Atleast when TO runs his mouth he backs it up.
