as a former pats fan. i cant imagine why anyone could support them after there loss in the superbowl last year. i was so disgusted that i cancelled my nfl network right away. i didn't think much of it at the time but now that football season is upon us again, it makes me want to hurl when i see anything remotley patriots related. they are a monument to failure. and i am now reminded of there terrible loss. bothers me still.....

you know i have been loosing my desire to watch football for the past years for many reasons. 1 the hideous amount of commercials. the one thing that really sucks is that true football fans like i was get punished at the end of the season by the enourmous amount of commercials packed in to the playoffs and championship games and how about the halftime shows? what a joke i used to watch for football not the half time shows2 the new rules concering the catch. man if the ball moves one millionth of an inch its no good3 the players are more and more irritating, celebrating after everplay they make and then the get burned the very next down its annoying4 the refs5 having to pay for more and more games6 i spent 500 bucks that last time i went to foxboro including 16 dollars for two warm chocolates7 the amount of advertising in the stadium, you cant get away from it.... its annoying. 8 also there is a difference between poor play and loosing the biggest game in sports history. loosing that game is the sports equivalent of the troops at normandy being pushed back into the english channel.
so to answer your question, i am retired. no more football. i think it peaked in the 80's im outthe ron [evil]

fairweather nothing, dude, if your still a fan then you are........ i don't want to get banned. but they are monument to failure. loosing to denver in the playoffs weak. what can be worse? how about loosing 21 point lead against the colts? oh how about winning ever damn game except for the one that matters! anyone who still supports them, simply has a case of battered fan syndrome. over all the years and it has been about 30 the pats have only given me about 45 seconds of joy.
not enough
they should fill the stadium with water and stock it with fish, so those who shop at the bass pro shop can have a place to fish. it would be far more useful :D

FAIR WEATHER.....
I can come up with a dozen reasons to dislike the Pats, regardless they had one of the best seasons EVER! I'm not a "fan" though..... I'd have a hard time believing you'd ever been a real fan though. How much did you watch before Brady came along? [coffee]
ITS make the beast with two backsING FOOTBALL! Have you NEVER heard of the phrase, ANY GIVEN SUNDAY?
Jeez. Any team has a chance of winning with the right matchup of players. The biggest picture you have to look at is plays. The giants picked the right plays. Talent matters, but not as much as youd think. Its all about picking the right plays and matching the right players.
Was the patriots season phenomonal? yes it was, but it wasnt show shocking. After the ravens game, the patriots werent undefeatable. After that point they only won by 1 touch down. Not an amazing feat. The patriots vs gaints game in week 16 was a 3 point lost.
I am a huge giants fan. Started at the beginning of the season and watched every game all the way through to the very end. The first football game i watched was Patriots vs Rams back in superbowl something. I love both teams, but to say that Patriots are a complete failure? I dont think so. 3 superbowl wins in the past 8 years? How many modern franchise has claim that? In a sport where they have tried to eliminate dynastys the Patriots are the only team that can actually make it.
Now. if you want to talk about complete failure, lets talk about hte dolphins and jets. Jets decent line up, but never had a chance with pennington or Clemens. Miami? god damn, ever game they lost was basically a 3 point miss. THATS failure.
the ron,
I can't support the new england patriots, either.
i will be amused if the pats have another fantastic season...
remind me to check back with you.
Near as I can tell, Ron just doesn't like anything that performs well :)

not a complete failure. a MONUMENT to failure. they are the example of a chumpion. look i don't deny that the giants were and are a better team. i told my buddy after the last game of the season" see you in the superbowl" but it would seem that each season they find a more miraculous way to loose. am i wrong? maybe, but thats how i feel.
it funny. as far as the giants go, i knew that they were going to win the superbowl after that final game. it was deja vu. in the 2001 season, the last game the pats lost was against the mighty rams. and they almost won. then they faced them in the superbowl and pulled it out. so the giants definatley deserved it and i am not one of these cryers that thinks the pats were better. it just hurts to see that idiot running back from the 1972 dolphins get his way. I hate that guy. he sucks

I respect the Pats for making sure that so many villages in Central America ended up with low priced high quality T-shirts last year. That was very benevolent of them. GO PATS!!!

If I was a running back for the Patriots, I'd probably smoke dope too. [laugh]
New England huddle dialog: OK Tom, what's the play. Ahh, pass to Moss. And if he isn't open, pass to Welker. After that, I'll just make something up. Faulk, make sure you block.
Man, block again, I'm gonna call Ricky Williams and see what he recommends.

Boy, you mean that I have just been putting too much "stress" on myself by being a Pirates fan all my life? My God, I am lucky to be alive after almost 16 straight losing seasons now!
That's it then, tomorrow morning, I am checking the stats of each pro sport daily and will root for whoever has the best record. Yeah, that'll fix that nasty stress.

No. I'm a Braves fan and I think we compare much better. The Braves sucked in the 80's and then came to life in the 90's. They won a bunch of games but would ultimately fail at the end of the season except one year.
All those pennants almost had me not wanting to pull for them any more. Thank God we suck again though. Now my fanship is safe. [roll]

interesting comment....
i have always hated being called a "band wagon fan" for rooting for my teams.
the only difference between when they are winning and losing is how excited i am about it.
doesnt change whether or not i am a fan.
