FaninPatsyLand said:Yeah well if you knew anything about New England, which doesn't seem too likely. Then you would realize that Boston is a BASEBALL town, and always will be. The Patsies will always play second fiddle in this town because too many people don't give a flying s*** about them.
Driven said:Your right, Boston is a baseball town. But your wrong, plenty of people love the Pats with a passion.
It is possible to have a passion for two teams.
And when was the last time their was an empty seat in foxboro?
patsdynasty said::roflmao: patsy is just jealous that hes stuck following his beloved phins who will not see a sb title anytime soon....
the red sox will win it all again before miami dolphins win the superbowl again.
Minvardar said:You know what Fan inPatsyland I have to laugh at you a little bit. The reason is your bashing of bandwagon jumpers. When did you become a Dolphins fan? Oh, when marino came to town. He was a great player who you loved to watch so you became a fan (which is no problem in my book). So you are saying it is ok for you to do that but not for someone who likes a team you hate? So if a fan suddenly likes New England because he likes to watch Tom Brady he is a bandwagon jumper? I guess you are a bandwagon jumper as well then.

I live in LA now and even I know more about the truth than you do. Yes Boston is a Red Sox town. Just like NY is a Yankee town. LA is a Lakers town. Does that mean the fans there can not root for the Pats, Giants & Dodgers respectivley? NO!
What a joke. Enough with this lame-a$$ arguement. It has no meaning or merit. If I am to take you right, the people who are fans of the Patriots that didn't become fans until Belichick came and started winning are:
1. Not allowed to be called fans
2. Should be held responsible for not rooting for the team prior
3. Will never be as good of a fan as you
Complete BS! Who gives you the right to judge? If you want the truth, there were plenty of Pats fans throughout New England before Parcells. The Patriots were always a sub-standard NFL franchise give or take a few seasons where they played better than expected. Should have go to the Super Bowl in '76 (Raiders...irony.) In '85 we got to the Super Bowl and were trounced by the greatest team ever assembled (Sorry '72 Dolphins.) No wonder that didn't enchant the region. Does that mean there were 6 fans? No! There were plenty. And I was there to see them.
Then, once Orthwein signed Bill Parcells to coach here, the modern era of Patriots football started. Fan interest shot way up in '92 due to the hiring of the legitimate Parcells. We drafted Drew and the rest is history. The fan base has been up ever since that day. And we don't need to justify our fondness of the Patriots to outsiders who have a self-hatred to where they live. No pro team is holding you hostege. Don't like the area? Leave. That simple.
We have had our differences in other threads and have come to a meeting of the minds, so know I am not attacking you personaly though it may appear that way. I know you are a decent enough of a guy, but that 3rd grade arguement that people are not allowed to root for a team since they haven't rooted for them since the day they were born is nonsense. So is the people are good/bad fans due to where they live.
You're better than that. Seriously.

FaninPatsyLand said:Why would I leave the area?? I don't feel like I'm being held hostage. I love Boston, I was born and raised here and don't have any plans to move in the near future. Not to mention I'm a Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins fan, I'm not gonna leave cause I despise one team. Not worth it.
Dirtywater said:OK, now we are getting somewhere. Let me ask you, because it looks to the casual observer like myself that you were born & raised in New England. Why did you become a Fins fan, and if I may ask, your age? Just curious how you became a Fins fan.
As to the 'badwagoneers', well I guess you are refering to the Soccer Moms and kids suddenly donning a Pats shirt, etc.. This is not meant as an insult, but that is what happens when you win. People take notice. It uplifts a region. People can suddenly identify with something that is positive and brings the community together. Happens everywhere, especially in sports cities like Boston.
I just think you're taking it all a little too seriously. It's only sports. It's funa nd when your team's time in the spotlight comes, enjoy it because t doesn't last forever.
Cheers. :drinkers:
