Boston sports fans are Mental
 
Sure that loss sucked, but the stuff im reading.. 7 sports championships in 10 years including the Stanley Cup last June. A team in the Super Bowl. An NBA Championship 3 years ago. A World Series title less than 5 years ago. Do you think this normal? Or how its going to be 10 years from now? Stop the whining how the local teams have put you though so much. Go live in ANY other city in the country and you'll see how frickin good Boston sports fans have it.

they are the spoiled fans they just started following sports with in the last 10 years or so so they don't know what it is really like out there.

Yes this loss sucked a lot with the missed chances but the fact that they got there with a D held together with duct tape and hope is shocking

"They"? I remember when the Red Sox were lovable losers during most of my lifetime. I remember the Bruins being a exercise in futility for most the 39 years they didn't win the Cup. I remember the 1-15 and 2-14 Pats seasons.

I think most Boston sports fans know their history and this 10-year stretch has been amazing. However, I don't see how you can complain about "spoiled" fans when the Pats just lost the Super Bowl again to the Giants.

there is a difference between being upset about the loss and being spoiled the "fans" that are going over the top calliing for he heads of every player that made a tiny mistake and that are ranting and raving are the "fans" that I am refering to as spoiled fans. I am pissed they lost but there is no reason to not appreate the season as a whole i wasn't refering to you directly it just seemed that way cause of how the posts fell

I think this loss would have been much less critical to sports fans of the Boston area if it were San Francisco,Green Bay or any other state but New York/New Jersey.

Just like it is when the Yankees win the AL after beating the Sox,fans would not be as upset if the Sox lost to the Angels ect:

If I have $100 in my pocket and $25 falls out, should I just be happy I have $75 or pissed because I lost the $25?

Being pissed the team lost is one thing, but the venom being flung at people like Tom Brady and Bill Belichick who have given us SO much is pretty sickening. For that matter, I don't think Wes Welker intentionally botched the catch in order to make your lives miserable. This divine right Boston fans feel they have to win championships and anything less is a choke or sucks or the guy needs to leave is quite Yankee fan-like. Gillette will be empty the day Belichick and Brady are gone and the Patriots have a 7-9 season. It was more to be a fan ten years ago when there weren't so many bandwagon jerks around.
