As my previous moniker was banned, for what I don't know (nice "society" you've got here--just "disappear" anyone who disagrees with you; works for dictators, I suppose, so why not overzealous fans?), I've copied below my message to the assh*t that banned me. I expect this to disappear as well, but until then, here goes:
"Quick message to Shmessy--now I understand why you all live in a bubble. You just ban anyone who disagrees with you. Did I violate the Terms of service? Call anyone names (no, but I was called several)? All I did was happen to initially point out the fact that Kraft helped select Goodell and then got attacked and defended myself and held up the mirror in terms of how your team is viewed (as I said in my posts, rightly or wrongly) by the rest of the League. What I thought interesting is the reaction of both you and the other bandwagoneers that call themselves Pats fans (anyone of you there before 2001?) Ban me, call me names, but don't really respond to the substance of my posts (many of which contained links backing up my points). Didn't realize the "low class" extended from the team to the fans and their website. Karma's a b*tch, folks, and can't wait until someone hands you all yours (especially Wilfork).....
On the bandwagon point, a pretty funny story making the rounds on the Bills boards around the time you came to town and kicked our arses was that a Bills fan hung out at the local bars with visiting Pats fans the night before the game and asked approx. 30 of them the answer to the following question:
Who was your Super Bowl QB against the Bears?
Interestingly, not a single "fan" knew the answer--the better ones said Steve Grogan (which, BTW, would have been my answer, but then again, I'm not a Pats fan). Several bought him drinks in exchange for the correct answer (Tony Eason, in case, as I suspect, you didn't know it either without looking it up.) Just about sums up the current Pats fan, no? That's what I'd say after my experience today. Make sure not to hurt yourself jumping off the bandwagon, tough guy....."
My apologies to those of you who are normal fans who enjoy talking about the issues and your team and the League with other fans (especially the 10% or so of you who were here before 2001), I don't mean to offend you, but no apologies to the guy who banned me or his ilk here....
