Just saw a clip on ESPN of a Pats fan saying “I hope they never win anything ever again”
They never deserved any of this, like we’ve been saying all along.
I wish there were more people from NE on this board. I saw it all unfold from the inside. Boston fans rooted for:
1) Red Sox
small gap
2) Celtics
Big gap
3) Bruins
4) Patriots
The patriots didn’t have a fanbase. People barely bothered to turn the games on. (They still have a ton of fans that don’t start following the team until the playoffs). Kraft was very close to moving the team to CT and no one batted an eye.
I still have a vivid memory of people rooting for the Patriots against the Rams because they were the underdog. Not because they were a NE team. Once the dynasty was underway the “diehard fans” came out of the woodwork.
