Thanks for posting this. It's actually an article I wrote for Bleacher Report and I had no clue FoxSports had picked it up until you posted. So thanks!

That was Awesome. You need to send that slogan to Foxboro.

I always thought Vader was cooler than Luke anyway.

That's a bunch of crap. It's negative, and plays into the "Patriots as bad guys/cheaters/outlaws" shtick that the Raiders wore out decades ago. The Patriots don't reflect that persona just because of an overblown reaction to a very questionable rule violation. This team has a lot of integrity unlike the Raiders, and the Pats definitely ain't the Raiders East. If people want to hate the Patriots over cameragate, they're just showing ignorance. No need to legitimize that by playing into a false image.

Thank you so much for that- nice work! Embrace The Hate in 08.....where do I order the T's?

Seriously, I think you've got a potential Bingo with that.
I love that slogan, and I'm even warming up to The Man Behind The Curtain too.
Again-great article- and you're right. I'm angry about all that's happened, but being hated is becoming ok with me. It means we're feared, so all's still right with the world
