Message: [QUOTE="nomar, post: 2562195, member: 651"] I'm from New Haven. Graduated HS in '95. I had a social studies teacher who was a Pats fan. My best friend Mike, who didn't care about sports, said he was a Pats fan because it made him unique. That's it. I literally knew 2 Patriots fans. And one of them was a Pats fan to be rebellious. College was when I finally met a huge Pats fan. My uncle, born and bred in Marblehead, was a huge Niners fan...up until 2001. He denies it now, says he just liked Montana. OK. I don't blame people for jumping on the bandwagon--Brady is the GOAT in my mind, and it's not really close--but let's not pretend it's the not the biggest bandwagon in sports history. There were a complete afterthought in New England until B&B. Diehard Pats fans between 1985 and 2001 were scarce. Anyway, I don't mean to argue on a bad night for you. Pats have had an amazing run and they've got as good a chance as anyone at winning next year. [/QUOTE]
