My guess is that he's a fan of the Cowboys, Steelers or Niners (actually he worship the Vikes) and wishes to use the fact that he lives in New Rngland a reason to DUMP on the home team. I looked at the book..the chapters..the twisted logic amd it looked like some troll wrote it. NFL fan?? PLEASE!!! He's half vbaked in his so called knowledge...I agree jealous troll...Making a point that he was NEVER a Patriot fan..just tells me TROLL!!! He actially writes for Bleacher Report so ANY review of that site is obviously biased..he claims this book is about NFL football in New England..,my guess is that he's missed out on it all...a Vikings fan and NASCAR. NASCAR??? Considering that...I think that says it all.. NASCAR...what a turkey NOT ever to be taken seriously.....The book sounds like a jealous fan.. Not a worthy read..
Steeler fans from the 70's (and the others you mentioned) are the equivalent of Yankee fans from the 20's.Steelers are fans from the 70's......49ers from the 80's......Especially Cowboys from the 90's generated alot more "bandwagon" fans than the Patriots have.
So no one in this 2 page thread(at this time) has actually read the book.
That was the OPs question.
Everyone is just making assumptions based on the title I take it.
Perhaps the title is a truth that is coming to close to home ?
At least it will be a Matt Walsh-free offseason.
As for the book, I read the review on Amazon one of the points mentioned is that the Patriots set attendance records after a SB appearance. Well, if the book is referring to the attendance following the 2001 championship, the team moved to a bigger stadium. Maybe that fact played a tiny role in setting new attendance records.
If he was a professional writer and not a Patriot hating Vikings fan (btw, has anyone actually checked the Viking's attendance records the last few years?), I might take him seriously.
I don't know anything about the book and don't plan to read it, but this thread is giving Mr. Knight exactly what he wants: free publicity.
I read your statement.I guess you did not read the thread...points for you...As I said previously..I skimmed through the book .
I read your statement.
Skimming and reading are 2 different things though.
Sounds like he slipped and bashed his head when he tried to jump on the bandwagon back in 2002.</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.”
[FONT="]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…..[/FONT]
Well...I did a llot of reading of it as well...and my opinions of it were from what I read..no interest in reading poorly formed opinions from one who is trying to be controversial....I read your statement.
