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

[The Brandon Five]

We certainly have the worst sportswriters.

It's funny how BB has managed to make the media following the Pats nothing more than a bunch of turds in a litter box.........

Basket of NE deplorables.

They need to define what makes a fanbase bad - there are lots of flavors.

Obnoxious? Remember that Raider's fan, but remember that Raven's fan in the ICU more.

Obviously to owners it's the fan base that spends the least money and stays home on game day the most.

Definitely not the Patriot fans.

Enough with Flying Elvis logo already. Jeez. That's the worst offense? I personally like. WTF does that have to do with the way they play or how loyal fans are?

The point is, exactly what is it about Pats fans that make them bad?...It's not about loyalty, the lousy fan bases are loyal to a fault...The point is, what exactly makes local media for example, consider Pats fans the worst in the league? Objectively, they appear to belong at or near the top.

bedard is actually a member of this board and has had conversations with fans here before. Not much right now since he went big with SI from the globe.

The guy simply can't be aware of how other fan bases conduct themselves.

There are two sets of writers in this town.

1. Elitist Contrarians- You know who they are.
2. Sucky Ones who couldn't get the weather right if they were standing outside.

There are three sets of writers/sports personalities in this town.

1. Elitist Contrarians- You know who they are.
2. Sucky Ones who couldn't get the weather right if they were standing outside.

I do not recall hearing about any other team's fans coming to the Pats' defense in the fantasy scandals over the last ten years, but if such things happened to another team, even one we hate, I would hope and expect Patriots fans would see and call it like it is. And that alone, puts Patriots fans at the very top.

That's why you have to pity their audience... it's like they don't know what they've done until after they've done it...

Has this bad Pats coverage been there always?

Reason is I remember in 1976, Steve Grogan commented: the Pats are on page 3 - after the Red Sox and Celtics.

For a long time, Boston had the best sportswriters in the country, and the Globe's Sunday sports section was must read.

Some NE fans are really embarrassing.

I go to road games and these NE fans act like they are part of the team with the "We" and "Our" verbiage. Running their mouths. I am not rushing to their aid if they get into to it with rival fans.

I posted something else regarding the Pats coverage being non-existent, but I forgot about Will McDonough. Tremendous football writer, God rest his soul.

There's only one thing to do. Win SB No. 5.

I think the Pats played second fiddle to the Sox even when the Pats were winning multiple SBs and setting an NFL record for consecutive wins. In the middle of all of that the airwaves here were filled with "A-Rod is coming to Boston" talk.

Back when he actually cared, even Borges was excellent with his "Boxing Notes" section.
