I lived in Cape Cod from 1999 to 2003 and I knew ONE Patriots fan before January 2002. ONE!

thats because you didnt have any friends and you spent all your time at cub scout meetings lmao .

Warden, I really don't know how that's possible. I realize that there have been a bunch of wagon jumpers, but that is impossible. 1 fan during the Bledsoe years?? No way.

thewarden86

It's true. After they won the SB I saw them everywhere. Maybe not all bandwagoneers but definitely fair weather fans. One guy in particular was a Die Hard Bronco's fan (1999). I know get "BB's FU Road Show" emails from him.

Tommysgirl

Well, he's an asstrout. Maybe because you were in the military and they weren't native? I don't know, I've lived here my whole life and everyone I know has always loved them, long before Brady.

thewarden86

Dunno. Maybe they were more subtle then. Now, that didn't prevent the gate guard from looking at the NYY duffle in my back seat and (before allowing me to proceed home) noting to me that the "Yankees Suck."

BTW - What exactly is an ...(lol)... "asstrout?"

Tommysgirl

Don't know what it is, saw it once and thought it was funny, so now I'm a plagarist.

Hold on, not only are you a Steeler fan, but you're a Yankees fan? How many times do you need to shower a day?

thewarden86

Born and raised in NJ / product of the 70's. It's to be expected I guess. Shower? Excuse me, but from one who's been spoiled herself lately I think you can concede that I've probably had a pretty happy life as a sports fan.

Tommysgirl

Did a lot sufferring, reaping the rewards now. I literally did a cartwheel today when the Clemens news broke. I HATE him, I HATE the Yankees.

Why aren't you Giants or Rats fan? Don't tell me you jumped on the Steelers wagon in the 70s? Tsk Tsk

thewarden86

Personally I don't think any of that report really means anything.

My father is a HUGE Giants fan. I actually take him to a game about once per year. Before NFL sunday ticket and all that I used to watch every Giants game with him. I grew up on LT (the original), Phil Simms, Mark Bavaro and Co. I know a lot about the Giants and I cheer for them, but...
Someone bought me a Steelers jacket back in like 1975. I was a kid and they've been my team ever since. When I was about that same age, again, living in NJ there was no other team besides the Yankees. I actually never "hated" the Red Sox until all the BS I had to hear when I lived in Cape Cod. I got the last laugh though pretty much the whole time I was there. I'm not one of those "Yankees in your face" kind of fans. I repsect the Sox and the rivalry. I love Boston and I love Fenway (historically anyway).And that's about it.
