Patriots Nation Shows Its Face in Va...

So I'm dropping off dry-cleaning and see this guy proudly sporting his Brady jersey and Pats ball cap. I give him the thumbs up and say "Wear it proudly." He says "always man."

But that's in Virginia. I know up in Mass some of y'awl think that's "before."

Saw a woman strutting with a Pats jersey the other day here in Arizona. We're still out there...

Nothing to be ashamed of being a Patriot fan......Being a fan of the NFL, now that's a horse of a different color.

A woman in Massachusetts died yesterday and she wanted her obituary to make one thing perfectly clear as she bid the world farewell-- "Tom Brady is innocent!"

Yes, this is a true story.

I think someone did not appreciate you giving him a down vote earlier and is now trolling you. Lol

Yeah I know, now I'm counter-downvoting him. They don't seem to stick though, so it's either a slow system or a newbie hacked him some board tools

myself i dont care if he took air out of the ball. fine him 15.000. this isnt about tom its about the league. i dont care if he lied either. all things considered it would be a white lie. who on this earth hasnt lied about something or another. its the over the top punishment and the media reaction that boils me over. the media acts like hes aaron hernadez.

There is nothing to be ashamed of and there never will be.

Keep wearing the shirts and every other loser franchise can go fry a watermelon.

I wish I'd thought to ask him if I could take a pic to start the thread.

My boss is actually a Pats fan too, asked her about the Kraft statement, wondering if she was p.o.'d like people here, she waved her hand dismissively & laughed. Like "who gives a ****." I really think it drives us less crazy out in the hinterland because we don't have hometown media focused on the Pats.

Every person who says the pats cheated just declared their stupidity. I can't help but smile and feel pity. Keep being proud guys and gals.

LOL @ Go fry a watermelon !

I wear pats stuff basically every day and I keep my Super Bowl champs flag flying outside my house and I haven't heard a peep here in NOLA. Then again, they hate Goodell here.

Serious question - do those guys think "Bountygate" was trumped up? And is there any kind of similar possibility that it was essentially made up and penalized lest anybody actually do it?

I always took it as gospel that there really was a pot of money and somebody really did get it if they injured a "bounty" player, but can't for the life of me remember the details. Which causes me to ask... there were details, right?

Hell yah I live in VA too. Just bought me and my wife some Free Brady shirts and always wear my pats stuff in public

How do you like it down there? I'm spending some time at Keesler AFB for a few months thinking I'll come check NOLA out. Any specific places to see?

What's interesting is that every player who was suspended had their suspensions overturned on appeal. The NFLPA also went to bat for them. The only suspension that was kept in force was the coach's. So..... there's that to consider when thinking about Brady's appeal.
