Ellis Hobbs kicks us in the gunny sack - like we deserve.

Ellis Hobbs on fans' booing - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com

Excerpt:

Hobbs first touched on the booing when he was asked if he was confident that the Patriots could correct their errors.

“Things can always be corrected, even when you win. It’s just that we don’t have the luxury of panicking like a fan does, or to sit there and boo. I’m starting to get into personal stuff, man, but that’s exactly why they’re fans,” he said. “Whoever was doing that, hey, it is what it is. But we’re not sitting here panicking. It’s Week 3. We’re moving on to San Francisco.”

Re: Hobbs on the bandwagon fans

If I were a player on that Patriots team, I'd probably feel a little betrayed by the fans. They got boo'd for having their first off week in 21 regular season games. Think about it. They hadn't had an off day since 2006. And they got boo'd when they did.

It's not the first time in 21 regular season games they've been boo'd, either - including with Brady on the field... That's the truly pathetic nature of this fanbase. And it's not just the boo's in the stands - this place is a clear reflection of that same idiotic entitled mentality.

Ellis Hobbs on fans' booing

“This is when you find out what type of player you are,” he continued. “This is actually when you find out what type of man you are, as far as this game goes. When adversity hits, and when things aren’t going your way, who is really in your corner?”

No one will ever accuse Hobbs of being overly articulate. Being the gamer he is, he doesn't need to make sense.

This makes me feel even more ashamed of these fans. He might as well be reading this board with how scary accurate he is about the chicken little bandwagoners.

Makes perfect sense to me, which word didn't you understand?

I agree...the fans booing is just part of it..looking at some of the silly posts here..VERY difficult to take...pathetic is maybe not strong enough to my ears..but it will do..

Maybe I am not a smart man, but I fully got what he was articulating......

translation, when things go bad, don't look elsewhere for help, you find help from within......

The booing was disgraceful

Re: Hobbs on the bandwagon fans

Fans boo when the team is playing like crap and there is no effort to improve apon that...

The team gave the fans NO reason to cheer, not one bit... They continued to get WORSE as the game went on.

It's not a bad day, it was a day off...

Re: Hobbs on the bandwagon fans

Good fans lift their teams when their teams are losing or trying to stage a comeback.

You don't STAB your home team in the back and only cheer when they are winning. That is what pink hat bandwagon fans, men and women alike, do.

Finding out what kind of person you are inside based on the fickle opinions of others seems a bit contradictory. Maybe not to you.

Yeah, 21 straight regular season wins, 4 Super Bowl appearances is "nothing to cheer about" meaning you should boo I'm starting to agree with some other fan bases that can't stand us.

Quit the Super Fan act...



The Team gave the fans no reason to cheer for on Sunday Aug 21st 2008... not even a glimmer of hope to come back...

That was exactly his point, you don't find out who you are until you are on your own. If that's "contradictory" to you I'd work on reading comprehension skills.

It's September, not August, and please keep the political garbage out of this. Fans that boo one day and cheer the next for a team as successful as the Pats are pathetic. If that makes me a "super fan"then I feel sorry for you.
