    Pats Fans: Worst in all of sports

    http://www.sportsline.com/columns/story/10993221


    Congratulations, New England Patriots fans, your testicles have dropped. You are the top dog when it comes to whiney fans who take winning for granted.

    You elevated the spoiled-brat fan phenomenon in sports to an entirely different level when on Sunday you heavily booed a team that's only one of two to win three Super Bowls in a four-year span, went undefeated in the regular season and generated the two longest winning streaks in NFL history.

    Sure, go ahead and boo. The Patriots have obviously and clearly sucked.

    Patriots defensive back Ellis Hobbs put it perfectly. He explained that the cascade of booing by New England fans is "a testament to how spoiled they are." I'd take that a step farther.

      "There are a great many message board warriors and online rhetorical thugs who talk a good game in chat rooms but have never actually spoken to coaches or players to get at least a partial grip on how hard it is to win in the NFL."



      What the heck is this guy talking about!??!?!

        great read though. he really put it to them. And to hear the players actually talk about how the fans are spoiled is AWESOME.

          The fans' booing illustrates another point. There's a downside to New England's ascension. The Patriots, like a growing number of NFL teams, are increasingly appealing to more wealthy people at the expense of the average, more hard-core fan.

          Some football fan purists with more intricate knowledge of the sport are being replaced by corporate metrosexuals who see a football game as nothing more than a way to impress a client or get laid.

          Maybe those fans were the ones doing most of the booing. Maybe not. I'm not sure. It's just unfathomable to me how anyone who knows even a smidge about the NFL could boo the Patriots.

          This is the result of having too many Hair Gel Giveaway Nights.


          Sad but true.

          One of the things I love about Bills fans is that they are a blue-collar bunch who know about the game and rabidly support their team.

          Pats fans really are spoiled. I remember a game a couple of years ago at Gillette Stadium (also against the Dolphins). The Pats were up 13-10 at the half, and the fans booed the Patriots as they left the field! I guess they just weren't winning by a big enough margin - that is the epitome of being spoiled.

            I saw the game and they were booing like mad. It was great.

              A few thoughts. I agree Patriot fans showed their true classless colors. Their team just got done with an unprescedented 21 game regular season winning streak. True fans would of given them a standing ovation to show them appreciation for such a great run. Many sports fans give their team a standing ovation when they see a great run end. Sabres fans do that all the time when the Sabres lose at home when they are about to get knocked out of playoffs you don't hear booing from the stands. You see Sabres fans on their feet giving them an standing ovation saying 'thanks for the ride, it was great.'

              I agree many of the franchises that have the most money (Patriots, Redskins, etc) due to some of the most expensive tickets don't have true fans. That is why I feel most Patriot fans are not true fans but more wine and cheese bandwagon fans. One example of profitable franchoses catering to the wine and cheese crowd and not the true football fan is this weekend my buddy got club seats at the 50 yard line for the Falcons-Panthers game. It comes with a parking pass to the lot closest to the Panthers stadium. Their is no drinking or grilling allowed in this lot. No drinking or grilling allowed at a tailgate prior to a football game? That is un-American. Needless to say we will e paying the $25 to park elsewhere.

                I was watching the Chargers game the other day, and I'm not sure if its just the laid-back California atmosphere, but it seemed dead in the stadium. Their team had just scored, and they panned around and people were simply standing there, sipping their drinks....it was sort of odd.

                Anyone ever been a game at Qualcomm? Are we really just that much better at rooting our team on?

                  I'm still on cloud 9 that their winning streak ended.

                    People boo'ed Trent in the first few series on the seahawks game. They were also booing vs. the raiders.

                      My uncle is a big time Charger fan, living in SD. I can see him just going "oh well", shrug his shoulders, and walk out of the stadium if they lose. No biggie.

                            Wait until the Bills roll the Pats at home and Kraft has that OMG no look on his face. That in itself will be a priceless moment, along with Stroud standing on Cassel's head / screaming at the end of the game.

                            That will open all the Patsies fans eyes.

                              I think if the Pats were to suffer through 8 playoff-less years, their stadium would be half empty for most games.
                              Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
