I normally stick away from talking about stick and ball sports. Much of them does not interest me. Often its only a case of who spends the most money winning (Yankees in baseball, Hendrick in NASCAR) or who can jump higher or run faster winning (all of the NBA). In all those cases, the outcome is pretty predictable and almost always lacks drama. So it also is with the NFL...I make an exception here to just prepare the world for the whining that is to come. New England Patriots fans are the absolute worst. They whine, they cry, they hole themselves up in their trailers for days without coming outside due to a single loss.
The next three weeks of sports radio in New England will be filled with various losers complaining about how they got jobbed by the refs, how Belichick still knows what he is doing, how Brady is still the best quarterback EVAH!! Blah, blah, blah. The Pats are truly what they have been over the past 5 years—an average team playing in a below average division who think of themselves far too highly. Unfortunately the success the team had in the early '00's turned every New England fan into a know-it-all blowhard who lorded "his" championships over every one else. It made moronic football fans in New England view themselves as superior to all other human beings in the nation. Am I going a bit too far? Then you don't live here and haven't been to a Wal-Mart or roller-rink (yes, New England still has these), or trailer park in New England in the past ten years...
I for one enjoyed New England football more when they were back at Sullivan Stadium, didn't have a left wing looney toon for an owner and didn't put the entire welfare population of Massachusetts into a depressed stupor every time they lost.
Just a warning...stay away from the topic of football with your typical New Englander for the next two months till the Red Sox are back in season and another group (this time the college educated, trust fund babies) take over and bring their idiocy to the fore...
