PATRIOT64

Has anyone read this paperback by the author Ken Knight?

Just wondering if it was a good read or not and was it fact based or just propoganda from an opinionated fan?

Saw it for sale at Barnes and Nobles and if anyone here bought or read this book and what they thought of it?

Hmmmmm I'm gonna guess it's not that great, the synopsis reads like Ratsinsider.com:

Pats67

It's a self-funded book written by a weirdo in Epping, NH. "Author Ken Knight" might be overstating his qualifications a bit.

I think my 5 year old drew the cover. Its not even worth acknowledging. You can smell the frustration and jealousy oozing from the synopsis.

</span>'New England Bandwagon Nation' by Ken Knight was born and raised in Massachusetts, but has never been a fan of the New England Patriots. “
“This book is sure to create a whirlwind hail ofcontroversy. This book is geared towards avid NFL fans.”(not in nobody reads it!!)
The Truth About Patriots Fans: "New England Bandwagon Nation" | Bleacher Report “From the Pats’ 17-game television blackout streak to record-breaking attendance totals in seasons following a Super Bowl appearance, Knight drives home his point about fair-weather fan support in New England.”

If you have to go back 20 years , under prior ownership to show fair weather support, it sort of undercuts your premise……

“Thanks to the NFL, we will never know how much of Tom Brady's success can be attributed to the "Spygate" scandal.”
Ugh puleeeeze. They went 18-1 and were one miracle catch away from 19-0 under immense scrutiny post- Spygate and 29-6 if you add in this past season with a first time starter at QB…..

In today's day and age of cheap publishing costs and Internet, anyone can write a book and publish themselves. Word Association Publishers is a company that will publish anyone's book as long as you pay for everything. Here's what the guy had to pay to get this book published:

Self Publishing with Word Association--Pricing

Considering it is the 621,059th best selling book on Barnes and Noble and that is the only place it is selling, I fear this will be on the top of NY Times best seller list in no time and will expose Belichick and all of us as the frauds we are.

Seriously, what kind of person would waste his time writing a book obsessing on a team he hates and then pay $1000 or more to get it published. He would have had to sell about 80 books to break even if he took the royalties option and didn't pay for additional services other than the cover. I am guessing the book will still lose him money.

Seeing as its sales rank on Amazon is only in the 200,000s, I don't think too many people have read it.

I am shocked that a die hard Jets fan on Bleacher Report would give this book a glowing review. Even based on this overly biased review, I could see this book is crap.

Yeah, we know prior to Parcells coming to the Pats, attendance sucked with the Pats. Not exactly Earth shattering news. Apparently that is all the book has. Even this reviewer asked why the writer only compared the Pats' attendance records to the Packers. Why not the Indianapolis Colts' who had as bad or worse attendance prior to Peyton Manning?

It is funny that the author is an avid Vikings fan and feels self righteous about Spygate considering Jeramy Green admitted his father used to pump in crowd noise into the Metrodome (granted he retracted that statement when a sh%tstorm rained down).

Does "Ken Knight" mean "punch me in the face" in some other language?

What a stupid title. News flash: when a team wins it gets more fan support. Bandwagon fans is the stupidest concern or point of contention in sports.
