Does it really matter? I say the more the merrier.
Besides how can you NOT be a Pats fan?
It doesn't bother me who is and who isn't a Pat's fan though there have been some good points raised here.
One thing I know for sure is that if we as fans hadn't suffered for 40 years that 2001 Superbowl would not have been so sweet.
I have never seen a State in such euphoria.
People walked around smiling for weeks.
The other Superbowl wins did not have the same effect as that first one. That is a feeling that can only come from thousands of heartbreaks.

I also was a Skins fan for years , first off when my sister moved down
to Maryland in 75 and even more so after I met my wife! Her uncle was the team doctor for 27 years and I got to meet the players in the locker room
I lost interest in the Skins after Jack Kent Cook died and my wifes uncle retired, But I still remember them good old days!
(Jack was a wild Guy)

Go Patriots .....

ps, what team did you hate ? DALLAS....lol

[Plum Crazy]

LOL! I used to hate the Raiders (scary weirdo men dressing like women in the stands).
I don't hate any teams now.
There are some places I hate them playing though, Denver for one.
It's so loud.

VB - yes, Dallas....without a doubt. Not sure if it's for the right reasons though -

I did respect Danny & Crew thru the mid 80's, how could you not.......but something happened in the early 90's ....when I developed that strong "disliking" toward them. Not so much what they accomplished or how stocked they were with talent, but I guess that with a combination of some close friends who are Cowboy DIE-Hards and absolutely LOVED the fact the Pats couldn't get it done and constantly reminded me of that. Seeing as how I couldn't "hate" my buddies, I think I developed a "hate"...for their team. .....oh yeah, and I "hate" the Giants right now.

In all honesty, I DON'T believe they were the better team. Did they deserve to win ?? ABSOLUTELY! They wanted it more. The better team went returned home crying....as well as their fans....but enough of that, still trying to put that behind me.

GO REDSOX!!!


p.s. = Hate is a strong word I don't like to use. ... please interpret my useage of the word meaning..."strongly disliked".
