Kind of annoys me how the team stayed far away from them as well.

As I recall, Bill and the boys were high fiving fans and greeting them very well.

There were a couple hundred of us waiting at Gillette when the Pats got back. Nothing huge...but still a good showing.

an excerpt from area media..

"Thank you, Coach!" one fan shouted as Belichick walked up and down the line of about 200 greeters, a serious look on his face for most of his journey.

The Patriots diehards were thrilled to see him and his players and unshaken by the imperfect end to what had been a perfect season -- a stunning 17-14 Super Bowl upset by the New York Giants that ended New England's season at 18-1 far from home in Glendale, Ariz., on Sunday night.

"It was kind of sad at first," said Stephanie Bare, 14, of Millis, "but I still have respect for the other team."

And plenty of love for her Patriots, as shown in the message on her hand-drawn poster: "Be proud of what you've done ... We are."

Eleven fans? There were more (non-family member) fans that greeted my daughter's Pop Warner cheerleading team upon their return from finishing in 6th place in their national championship. What a dichotomy: from calling off school in anticipation of a win, to eleven people bothering to show up in support of a team that came very close to winning the Super Bowl.

I just added the link in that Blog entry to the Projo story of when the Patriots returned home after the loss against the Giants for anyone who wants to read it.

Sounds about right...thankfully the Colts were classy enough to interact with the hoi polloi


Oh? Hundreds of feet away you say?


Nevermind...

 

[Mogamedogz]

Sure it wasnt the Jets that greeted them? Maybe thank them for letting them into the Play-offs?
