Talked to a group at the tailgate. You had to respect their dedication, considering how much it probably cost to get up here.

I feel the same way. I saw two Chargers fans on the way out of the stadium that had stayed to watch the trophy presentation. I told them that even though they lost, they are TRUE FANS and no one can ever question their commitment to their team. They appreciated hearing that from a Patriots fan despite the loss.

I was glad to hear there were no repeat incidents from last week's Jags game in the parking lot after the game. I would hate Patriots fans to gain a reputation for being a bunch of a-holes.

I was thinking tonight how much it must have sucked to spend all that money, fly 3000 miles, go from the world's best weather to the bitter cold of New England and freeze your ass off only to watch your team lose. That must be a long flight home.

I didn't go and I'm sure it did suck, but would've still been worth it......if your a fan, that is, and not just looking to spend money to be able to tell your friends you went to Foxboro for the game

I saw some SD fans at the Providence airport 530 Monday morning and they looked like someone had kicked their dog. I'll give it to them though, thats about as far as you can travel to go to game, especially one with brutal weather.

I did see a dozen or so in the direct vicinity of 137. I think a noticible difference was that they weren't outwardly a--holes and as a result didn't receive the treatment that a--hole opposing fans tend to receive.
