I miss other teams whining about how "classless" we are as we dump all over them while condescendingly telling them they should be classy like us.
There's a case to be made that this sort of thing doesn't win football games, and that it only invites enemies to pour on the heart break when it comes, but at this point in Patriot history, we get all that anyway.
I think a case can also be made that the old school Patriots trash talking ways were liberating for our football team, and that being smug, arrogant #$$&@*%'s makes the game more fun for the players, and that fun creates a better product on the football field.
I feel like maybe after so much success we got away from being that `roll into your house and stomp your face in` football team and became all about upholding legacy as a `serious` football team that's always the epitome of professional.
We used to talk trash. We used to dance on logos. We used to be... disrespectful.

Agreed. I'd be interested in knowing more about who brought the sign.
It's quite possible that I'm just no fun, but I enjoyed the idea of being a step up in class.
Anyway---no big deal either way, and great to see the players having fun. They earned it.
