I must admit that I am from nowhere near New England. I became a Pats fan because of Randy Moss. I was a Randy Moss fan from his rookie year. And then when he became a Patriot, I became a Patriots fan. When they lost that Super Bowl I was very upset. I vaguely remember me throwing a beer glass on the floor of the patio of a Buffalo Wild Wings and getting kicked out.
Anyway, I remained a Pats fan after that. I was very ecstatic when they won the Superbowl two years ago and again this year.
Also, screw Roger Goodell and long live the GOAT.

Watching is more fun, man. Give it a try.
Anyway, Dad had season tickets...fandom was hard wired into me pretty early on.
I have the option of rewatching on Game Pass, but I hardly ever do. I haven't had TV for a long time, and I think anyway that my fondest memories of following games are listening to Bob Wilson do the Bruins games in the 70's. I still drive a stick too, and I heat with wood. I'm archaic.
'75 was a kind of weird season. Plunkett went down, Grogan got some experience, the team continued to have injuries; but Fairbanks just kept on loading up - and, not surprisingly, the next season we were loaded.I was 12 years old in 1974, and just started watching football. The first game I ever watched was the Super Bowl Champion Miami Dolphins against the Patriots. My sister said it would be a blow out because the Patriots were so bad. Well, the Patriots pulled off the upset, and I've been a fan ever since.
I had one close call on jumping off the bandwagon. The next season, 1975, the Patriots were on their way to a 3-11 season and the Patriots were playing the Bengals. I said whoever won that game is the team I'd be a fan of. Turned out, it was a lie. The Bengals won, but I stayed a Patriots fan!
I think I made the right choice!
Before the AFC and the Patriots existed, the Giants were televised into New England, so a lot of New Englanders adopted them as their favorite team. Kind of "barf" now, right?Growing up just a few miles from Boston I followed all four pro sports teams from a very early age. Really got into them the year after they played for the AFL championship. Pats had a very good season and players like Babe Parilli, Larry Garron, Jim Colclough and Gino Cappelletti were all favorites for young fans like myself. I could not understand why many of my friends parents were Giants fans

No tv, listening to Pats on the radio=cheating yourself out of something amazing.
I was always a Patriot fan, even before I was born.
Given my massive inferiority complex, I latched onto the team when they started winning because I needed to overcompensate for my complete lack of success in just about every phase in life. The second they start losing, I'm out of here and you all can kiss my ass.
Snow angels? I was doing kickoffs.Those in utero snow angels must've been tough on Mom.
how was it being a Jets fan?One day i decided that i dont care and i cant stand it. So i started following the new england patriots
