OT: Pats fans do it again.....

[Deadrody]

Jets have dibs over all y'all. 1969 < 1973. And Knicks fans, no matter how crappy those teams were, never had to suffer through Kotite.

Oh, please. The Isiah Thomas era was orders of magnitude worse.

So let me guess, all that matters is the time period and measures of success that make the Pats look good.

That's the way it is for all sports! For example, I particularly love this stat:

In the last 16 years, UCONN has more NCs than Duke. 4>3.

EDIT: oh, and in the past 16 years, UCONN has the same number of NCs as Duke and UK combined. How about that?!

Well yes, since the topic we're discussing is why people dislike the Patriots in present day 2016, what has happened in the recent past is what's relevant.

So in usual Boneyard fashion...because we have a bunch of Giants fans on here:

Is Markus Kuhn any good as a depth OT signing? The Pats just got him. I remember the name, but can't recall a single minute of his time last year. Bear in mind that our depth guys last year were being signed off the street mid season.

OK cool. Last 10 years: Giants 2 SuperBowl wins, Pats 1.

Cool. Not sure how this became a Giants vs Patriots Super Bowls discussion, but if you think the Giants have been more successful lately that's great. As a Bears fan, my perception is that the Patriots have been the much better franchise lately.

facts don't matter to so many, haters are a wacky bunch

I gotta go with punch drunk

 

[DarthGrumpy]

I want to sue Mark Emmert for causing me sever emotional distress, think this lawyer would be up for that on a pro-bono basis?

 

[DarthGrumpy]

NFL are approaching NCAA and Emmert status

The NFL has a lot more to do it it wants to get to NCAA level of incompetence and sometimes criminal leadership afterall, the NHL is much more of a basket case than the NFL while the NCAA is still trying to catch-up to FIFA.

Dude, come on, you always do this. It's not about the Pats vs the Giants on the field. It's about Boston teams vs NY teams. The biggest inter city rivalry across sports. And it's also about you living smack dab in the middle of enemy territory, and having to put up with an insufferable cohort of fans as a result.

There's no doubt your root against the organization, if only in so much as it negatively impacts Boston fans.

Yeah and I root against the Cowboys and Eagles more, don't tell me why it's stupid on your part. I definitely don't like the Red Sox the Pats are not the same. Think what you want but you're being really ignorant.

Nope. Freakin' guy is crowd-sourcing the lawsuit.

They say the defendant who represents himself has an idiot for a client. I think the plantiffs who hire this guy might be bigger idiots.

For the uninitiated…

Welcome to the off-season version of the Boneyard.

No, since he is a DT and he was horrible at that. He is just a body, that's it.

lol I read OT in my twitter feed. Pats need OTs. DTs, not so much. Definitely a camp body then.

Mau, I heard the Pats are getting their draft pick back with the proviso that they have to draft AB with the pick. They measured him at 6'5"

He's good at moving screens, so maybe he can block? Worth a flyer.

After the Bears beatdown in Super Bowl XX and the years leading up to Bledsoe, I never imagined this run. Fitting for New England to have a premiere NFL franchise since the game was invented here.

Super Bowl win #5 coming soon! Maybe.

Pats fans get that draft pick back yet?

Also who's better in post season . I'm sitting here with my brother in law. He says it's the Giants .
