Default Would this be a "stab in the back" ?
A friend of mine is contemplating getting a Lofa Tatupu jersey, although he's a Pats fan. He (and myself I guess for that matter) love the way the guy plays, and with his connection to the Pats (father Mosi, and born in NE), he thought it wouldn't be a big deal. Would this be considered a stab in the back to Patriots Nation in your opinion?

If he likes the guy, he likes the guy. I wouldn't get anything non Patriots but that's just me. I have no problem with Patriots fans liking players from other teams . . . it would be different if he rooted for the Seahawks over the Patriots.

If you wear a team's shirt it shows you follow the team -- and that you like whatever player it is. You can't wear a Seahawks shirt and not advertise your support for them. I have no problem with your friend rooting for the Seahawks; but I root for the Pats.

Did we have a shot at Lofa in the draft? Who did we take in that round, whatever it was, instead of him?

He was a second rounder and we traded out of the second round.

Get the Lofa shirt. And then marry Seahwaks-Patroits Chick. Then you can have seahawks-patriots kids.

For me the answer is yes. I'm happy for Lofa and it was fine seeing Mosi and mom wearing Lofa's shirt at the Super Bowl but, any time I see someone around here wearing any NFL gear that isn't Patriots gear they get a dirty look from me.

He was selected before we made the trade. We would have had to use a first round pick on him. Hndsight says he might have been worth it,but at the time it was a tremendousreach for the Seahawks IIRC.
