I respected the hell out of SF....but hated them.Unlike the other NFC teams, I respected the Niners of the 80's. The team board wanted to trade Joe when he hurt his back but Eddie DeBartolo Jr. insisted they keep him, and they got 2 more SB wins. They're uniforms were classy and said, "This organization is serious about football, and about winning championships..." Only thing missing for us, from Brady era.
"Wow, I'm wearing my very own WFL jersey!"
I don't know. Here's a suggestion: Why don't you ask her/him, rather than me.I certainly hope the OP was referring to the ones he won BECAUSE of BB not inferring that he won the ones without BB because of BB, which would be a ridiculously stupid comment.
I look at us as the good guys, and the NYJFL as evil.More like America's most hated team. Face it we are a nation of haters. When you win too much, like the Pats, mostly people hate you.
And fortunately, unlike the Yankees, this is a salary capped sport. So they can't point and say we outspend people for our success. It's been built on a lot of hard work, great coaching, and shrewd team building.
I mean Tom Brady in the 6th round? Best draft bargain ever!!

I can understand your feelings for the old uniform, you having grown up with it, but the Flying Elvis uniforms carry with them the aura of winning that the Pat Patriot just doesn't have. I realize winning isn't everything and we'll all be Patriot fans even if 10 straight 1-15 seasons are our reality sometime in the distant future but the Flying Elvis is the emblem of the greatest dynasty in football history, and frankly isn't going anywhere.
Of course, like anyone that's not the Pats. Never going to respect Charles Haley, though. Rice? Yeah, well, see above.I respected the hell out of SF....but hated them.
Correction: They've been trying to find ways to tilt the playing field in opponents' favor, most successfully in 1976; later at Bill Polian's behest and most recently with fantasy scandalsThey've been trying to find ways to even the playing field since 2007 with their fantasy scandals

It's totally different though, from the Raiders, who openly admitted to cheating whenever they could and many of whom really were bad guysI hope not, I love being the team every other fan base loves to hate, this team plays the villain really well
Correct about the loser crowd. I am still waiting for Brian Holloway to be nationally celebrated for all the obstacles he amazingly overcame, without being an *******; but because he's a Patriot is of course still denigrated by the media [see NYT]Ive come around on Charles Haley a little. While he is in the "Patriots Cheat" loser crowd he did play with bipolar disorder. Amazing he had a HoF career with such a tough condition.

Star Wars is most fun in a movie theatre...if you've not seen any, you want to start with episodes IV-VI. Then, you can go right ahead and see the Force Awakens. I wasn't a big fan when it first came out, it grows on you, if you let it inThis would be awesome if I understood it. I've never seen anything Star Wars but your post almost inspires me to see them just to so I can get these references. Almost.
As a shortcut, you can Google whatever name it is, example Star Wars Boba Fett character, and there'll be a description. Check YouTube for Admiral Motti, and you'll get the Tom Jackson analogyThis would be awesome if I understood it.
