Nope, we're not Pats fans so it's not a fact that 95% of our fans didn't give a shit about us until 12 years ago.


Though of course this is just internet fun. I know I went in to it on the old board a few times but bandwagons get a bad rap. New fans of a team have to come from somewhere. If 10 million people jumped on the bandwagon in 2002 and 1 million of them are still fans when the Pats suck donkey dick in 2017 that's a million hardcore fans that have been with the team for 15 years. Fandom isn't something that can only be inherited, it has to start somewhere. Doesn't mean you're not going to get shit for it for a long time(basically until the Pats suck again), but that's just normal fan behavior. Because fuck you for liking another team.


It's exaggerated in the case of NE fans(all sports) because such a high percentage of you seem to confirm every shitty stereotype about your fanbase.

Most Boston fans are in fact terrible. Also bandwagon fans need to take their lumps before they become legitimate fans.

When I was young, the Patriot's were terrible.. and used to have a ton of TV blackouts. I think from 1988 through 1990, the Patriots had seventeen consecutive home game blackouts. I don't remember actually watching them very much until Parcel's was the coach. It's hard to become too big of a fan when you can't watch your team every week.

The "Pink Hat" Red Sox fans of about 05-10 was the worse sports bandwagon i have ever seen. They did make the Red Sox a ton of money however.

quite the difference in story there. witness/victim's brother says Johnny and his entourage did the damage, Johnny's side says he was out to eat with his brother and mother.

Cute=P Packers, Redskins, Steelers, Broncos, and 49ers all have 300+ game active streaks. Though the teams fudge them some if you look at the capacity % stuff for every season.

Yeah, I figured there were teams with more, but it's the CHIEFS, MAN.

I'm guessing, but 1991 is probably when... nope, Joe Montana came in 1993. I wonder what happened in '91 to gets the fans to come to games...

Oh man, Eric Berry has lymphoma. One of the best guys/players I knew of(never met personally) while I was at UT. Hope he can recover fully.
