Bedard:Patriots fans have become the worst fanbase in the NFL.

[jri37]

Watching that video clip with the 3 of them made me extremely uncomfortable, like when you're in a group of people and these smarmy types start spitting out nonsense and the rest of the group follows them like sheeple.

"Greg.... come to the dark side."

Is that photoshopped or has Felger really been emulating John Dennis that much?

 

[letekro]

His point seemed to be that Pats fans are annoying to non Pats fans, which they are. Not that they don't support the team or however else fandom is typically judged.

 

[MitchKumstein]

I didn't watch the video, but I'll assume that Bedard used a lot of analytical data, scientific research, and mathematical formulas to come to the conclusion that Patriots fans have become the NFL's worst fanbase.

I mean, you don't just throw out such a bold statement like that with no real basis for it

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

As bad as some of our worst fans are, some of Boston media still find a way to hit well below that mark.

Greg Bedard: Patriots have become worst fan base in the NFL

The 3 of them can go #### themselves.

I disagree. I just watched it and his point clearly, at least to me, is that we are annoying to HIM.

Regarding the persecution complex. If you hooked people up to the polygraph and asked them if you swapped crimes and the Patriots had illegal practices and the Ravens more likely that not deflated a ball what would the punishments be? Anything short of 20K for the Ravens since that's the rule book violation and BB getting a half season or more suspension will have the chart bouncing up and down.

So if it's truly persecution how is it a complex? I will grant the lunatic fringe takes it to the extreme and every flag is called in from Goodell but even fans of other teams admit it's a reality at this point.

"Stop with the persecution complex."

Sure Greg, just as soon as uninformed idiots stop making up ****. Tons of people out there STILL THINK the Patriots taped the Rams' walk through before the SB, that they bug the locker rooms, they only give the other team warm drinks, and cut out the coach-to-QB radios, and so on and so forth and so on and so forth.

So if they can stop all that ****ery then I'm sure the fans will stop feeling like we have to defend every little thing. And I guess the media isn't a part of the reason fans feel like their team is getting the short end of the stick. Nah.

It ain't complex when it's the truth.
I guess the lesson here is....the next time you are robbed at gunpoint....keep quiet. Don't call 911, don't yell, don't shout. Just stay there and get robbed. Thanks, Greg.

Didn't a couple of raiders fans just put a ravens fan in critical fan?

Or how about when a jests fan punched a female Pats fan in the face?



Judge Richard Berman: What evidence do you have

nfl: We don't have any


But ya definitely a persecution complex you f**cking hack. But dance like a monkey for douchebag and squeaky to keep that 98.5 check coming.

That's all he's doing. Kissing Felcher's ass.

I heard it today. Bedard's argument is that Patriots fans should just enjoy all the winning and not grouse about being persecuted by Goodell, etc. I can see how an outsider would take that perspective. He might be right about us not appreciating enough what we have, but he's dead wrong when he says we should stop complaining about the league. The crap the commissioner's office has pulled is unprecedented.

 

[letekro]

I disagree. I just watched it and his point clearly, at least to me, is that we are annoying to HIM.

Haha. True. But, he was echoing a common sentiment that patsfans are spoiled, which of course they are.

 

[IllegalContact]

Meanwhile, some Ravens fan is still unconscious

 

[Jackson 2]

Haha. True. But, he was echoing a common sentiment that patsfans are spoiled, which of course they are.

Perhaps some are, but not all. When you go back 56 years as a fan, you're not spoiled. Rather, you've been richly and deservedly rewarded for, with a few exceptions, 40 years of hell, which coincidentally those 3 pukes can proceed to without delay. F### them, once again.

That's fine but the worst fan base?

The fan base has every right to have a complex.

He's a fat oaf

Has to be. Dooch is in pretty good shape

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

Every fanbase of anything has its good and bad fans, Patriots included. There is no such thing as a "worst" fanbase, just views on the opinions of the people within the fanbases.

I mean, anime fans are seen as pathetic virgins who are antisocial which is a false claim built from isolated incidents.

Yeah, he was pandering with that; when he said it Felger got all excited. I do think his football analysis is good.

Might be an old photo. I had to stop looking at too many of them or I'd have stuck a fork in my eye.

He totally played it.

His analysis is alright.
