You know you are a Pats Fan when...

Seriously?

You seriously think that somebody beat out Bill Belichick for Darth Vader?

Really?

Sorry, you're just trying too hard to be the good guys

Douchebag is an underrated insult. Nice job. That's earned one "you know you're a Pat's fan when..." joke.
It's okay to be a Jets fan...we got to root for you in SBIII; and you know we'd miss you bad if you weren't around to hate/compete against...good luck
You get second-hand embarrassment when no one high fives Brady

Thanks for your response; can you help me out? How is Bill like Vader?

My first memory of Irving is at the Orange Bowl vs. 'Canes...lots of special, heroic winning plays on the field for the Pats, and a continued struggle vs. personal demons...

My first memory of female reporters is Gayle Granik (Gardner) at Smithfield in '76

Zeke Mowatt and the others were all innocent but labeled rapists by Mayella Ewell, nee Lisa Olson

Zeke Mowatt and the others involved in that embarrassing crap with Lisa Olson weren't labeled rapists by anyone and they certainly weren't innocent. You should be ashamed of yourself for outright lying, because that's exactly what that comment is - an outright, bold-faced lie.

You should be ashamed of yourself for writing crap in a Rest in Peace thread ... if anyone's keeping score.

The difference, and it's a major one, is that what I wrote is the truth. I'm not rejoicing over Buddy Ryan's death, but I'm also not offering phony condolences. He was an arrogant blowhard and so are both of his sons.

Teaches me to post late at night.

Emperor Palpatine, because, hoodie.

No grandfatherly smile and beard.

And yeah maybe early in training camp I could see him saying obiwan **** like "These aren't the routes you're looking for" and having receivers say "These aren't the routes we're looking for..."

But you know in mid-season form he just force lightnings them. Or maybe going back to Vader, squeezes his thumb and forefinger together and says "I find your lack of football awareness disturbing."

TELL me you can't imagine this presser:

Well you know, whenever you have that good an x-wing and that good a y, you do your best, TIE did some things well, he had some shots I think he'd want back, any time you have, well, when you have a death star under construction you practice that, but the rebels had a great attack on this fully operational battle station. That exhaust port was maybe two meters, two meters wide, and any vulnerability, you do your best to disguise that, to mask that. It's a game of meters and we came up a little bit short. It's one episode, and it's not the first one and I'm getting focused for the next one. We're on to Hoth.

Olson's statement described her "experience" as "mind-rape" and all of the people present at the time, including members of the media, acknowledged in 1992 that there was no substance to her story. However, it remains a free country and you may believe that Rosie Ruiz is a Boston Marathon winner and that Tonya Harding is an Olympic Gold Medalist and that Tom Brady is a lying cheater if you wish.

I dunno, it just sounds like demonizing him. But, I can easily see Jeff Pash doing his Sith master's bidding, smashing videotapes on the floor inside Gillette and shouting, "You are part of the Rebel alliance and a traitor. Take her away!"

...you watch the whole '75 season intently, knowing that you're team is loaded and if healthy the next year could beat anyone...and you DESPISE the Giants. Oh, your hear blabbing about Sam Hough, Gifford, Summerall, Kyle Rote etc. and we didn't have a team? Well, since 1960 we DO have a team, one that's been laughed at really more than any other in history, but it's OUR team. So, you tell CBS to stop piping in stupid meaningless Giants games into our market, and if you don't like it, buy a satellite dish. Better yet, move to New York...you see your team robbed of a championship in '76 and two years later you're up late watching a preseason game on the coast and see Darryl Stingley instantly go from a promising young husband and father about to sign an extension to a paraplegic. After being homeless for eleven years and going 25 years before winning a playoff game, you then get to wait...wait for Orthwein to leave...then, wait for Parcells to leave...then, wait for Bledsoe to leave...and after 23 years, you're still waiting for Kraft to finally flush the flying elvis down the toilet and restore our real logo and uniforms.

Bob: "Say, who was that bald guy in the suit sitting behind us in the plane?"

Bill: "I have no idea."

So, after Orthwein destroyed our logo and uniforms you still continue to follow the game, though, and five weeks after you get married you glance at SB XXXI. Even if Troy Brown were cloned twice and three of him played, they were not going to win that day. Green Bay had the better team. Hmm, the Packers, who although they stunk in the 70's and 80's still managed not to destroy their logo and uniforms...But something happened on the flight home that night. "It was," as September likes to say, "an important moment." Anyway, after one weird press conference, one lost first round draft pick and one Orange Bowl comeback, it eventually leads to us having the best coach of his era, who drafted the transcendent player of his generation. They're not perfect, but they never cheated, in any way, shape or form. So, Krafts can file amicus briefs and and Pats fans can wear free brady t-shirts, and both may continue to whine defensively; OR, we can all get down in a three point stance, grab the ball, get ready to snap it to Tom for the winning touchdown, glare at the world and say, "We are the New England Patriots. We're not going anywhere, and we're not the puppets of the NFL." At least, not anymore.

Art Eddy: Which is better the old or new Patriots logo?


Steve Grogan: Oh, the old by far. Everybody that I see tells me that.
