illwauk Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 And is it just me or did you people not give a flying about the Patriots until they started winning?...hence the constant blackouts of Patriots games in the 1980-early 1990s.I visited Boston in 1991, 1993 and 1995 and did not see ONE Patriots jersey any of those times.Although the lack of jerseys in '93 and '95 might be explained by the sheer ugliness of what they wore back then Still... I don't think anyone can deny (with a straight face) that the Pats were the bastard child of Boston sports in the 20th century. There's a reason they had to change their name to appeal to 6 states (well, 5 1/2... the other half of Connecticut is Giants territory). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 So with that said: *uck you. Bring on the hate. I love it.

Don Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I think most of the hate for the Boston teams comes from the ridiculous amount of exposure they get from ESPN, which seems to think Boston/NY is the end all be all of sports fandom and they proceed to shove it down everyones throats. I dont think its right considering ESPN is supposed to be a national network, yet since theyre based in CT, they seem to placate the masses right around their area like a regional sports network. Thats personally why I hate the Red Sox/Patriots, because I get goddamn sick and tired of hearing about them. Just you wait till the Celtics win their title this year, we wont hear the end of it.

But I also agree that ESPN is the biggest NE a$$kisser out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Gitlin was right....Boston fans have a fascination with losing. They're also getting annoyingly arrogant. Not as bad as New York fans yet, but they're gaining on them quickly.....Go to a few games at Camden Yards and you might rethink your conclusion. If there is still a gap, it is awfully small these days.

Fred T. Jane Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 The truth rarely is.(Weren't you the guy who was torqued off over the Knicks not managing their lowest score in team history against the Celtics?)You remember well. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.
