You know, the thing that gets me here is the last sentence. It makes me proud. I know that wasn't the intent, but that's definitely what happened.

Edit: It's Hruby. But I can't edit the title of my post so I'm claiming idiocy here.

Re: Huby Doesn't Hate the Pats?

OK... the article had a pretty good beginning and middle... but where's the punchline? He needs to work on his finish. Maybe he's just afraid to admit, that he enjoys watching the Patriots play football. With this high octane offense, they are fun to watch even if they do blow out the other team. How about that? Why don't you admit the REAL reason you don't hate the Patriots? Maybe it's because you're starting to LIKE them. You just can't admit it yet. Maybe after they get to 19-0, Hruby can finally admit his mancrush on the best darn football team anyone has seen in years!

Hmmm the title of my post got corrected somehow.

I'm new to the boards-- do I owe a mod a thank you? If so, kudos!

I think the punchline, loosely translated, is that he WOULD hate the Patriots if they weren't so immaterial because they're not from New York. Or something like that...

That's basically it.

He's saying they don't have that Ooooomph of Broadway. That they aren't INTERESTING enough for him to hate.

He's bored.

I thought the punch line was that he WOULD hate the Patriots if they had the swagger of a hatable team. You know, trash talk it up a little bit, stop respecting your opponents, be ****y before the game instead of after it, tell the world you are kick the Dolphins ass so hard that the 72 team will feel it.

Bottom line, in his opinion, the patriots are vannilla, maybe the greatest vannilla ever, but you can't hate vannilla.
